Evil Chocolate Breakfast Spread

Evil because its crammed with all sorts of wickedly good for you superfoods…cunningly disguised in something like a fudgey dark chocolate Nutella. I love this spread on a thick slice of San Francisco sourdough. I have heard through the grapevine that this spread is also the key component in a heavenly hot chocolate …? Recipe please!

• 1/2 recipe Silky Chocolate Ganache
• 6 – 8 capsules blue green algae*, or more
• 1/4 c finely powdered raw cacao
• 2 T dried goji berries, finely ground in high speed blender
• 1/4 t almond extract
• 1/4 to 1/2 t salt, to taste
• 1/2 cup smooth raw almond butter

In a high speed blender, combine all ingredients except almond butter and blend a minute or so on high, or until everything is a smooth as can be. Lower speed and add almond butter – blend just to combine.

Finish mixing by hand (do not over-blend or the mixture will split). Adjust for sweetness, taste and chocolate intensity, and store in glass containers. Can be kept at room temp for 1 -2 weeks.

Play with this recipe:

• Use roasted and/or chunky almond butter (my favorite)
• Try hazelnut butter!
• Add blue mangosteen powder for even more antioxidant boost

* I use Crystal Manna, because it has a very subtle flavor which is easily masked by chocolate. But you can use any type of bg algae or greens powder – just start with less and see how far you can push it.
