TAHINI CAROB SHAKE (GLUTEN & DAIRY FREE)
Yummy, yummy and pretty healthy too. With ingredients both used in Cypriot and Greek cooking. The scientific name of the carob tree is 'Ceratonia siliqua' derived from the Greek word 'keration' which means horn as the shape of the pod itself. In Cyprus, another common name is 'terratsi', a word that is probably derived from its Latin scientific name, Ceratonia. Carob is also referred to as St John's bread following the legend that St' John the Baptist was feeding on the pods of this tree while in the desert. I made this up when I wanted the taste of Carob in a cold drink that was also dairy free.

Steps:
- Process the almonds, dates, and water in blender until smooth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and blend only until smooth(you still want it to be frosty like a shake).

EASY HOMEMADE CAROB "CHOCOLATE" (SUGAR/DAIRY-FREE)
This recipe is great for those who can't eat chocolate (or cocoa) and those who like carob! No need to add sugar - carob is naturally sweet. If you want to be creative you could create carob "chocolates", dip strawberries, make edible lace, or paint the mixture into plastic moulds to make easter eggs. The catch? Once set you'll have to eat this carob quickly - coconut oil melts at warmer temperatures (mine was liquid during the steamy Sydney summer). This recipe works best if your coconut oil is firm (not liquefied) when stored at room temperature. Once set, keep your carob "chocolate" creation in the fridge until it's ready to be consumed.

Steps:
- Sift carob powder into a medium bowl.
- (To 'melt' coconut oil, place sealed jar in a metal/glass bowl partially filled with boiling water for 10-15 minutes).
- Slowly stir in melted coconut oil, taking care to break up any lumps as you mix ingredients together.
- Spread mixture thinly on a flat surface lined with foil or parchment (I used foil) and allow to cool in fridge. Alternatively, you can drizzle into shapes or set the mixture in chocolate moulds. (For a faster result, put in freezer for 15 minutes).
- Once set, chop or break carob block into smaller pieces.
- Store in a fridge or a cool place until ready to use.
- Note: Cooking time is time allowed for mixture to set in fridge. I read one suggestion that these could be used as chips in baked goods (e.g. cookies) but I'm a little sceptical and think this might require some experimentation. Try waiting until baked goods have cooled so that the chips harden up again?

SWEET BANANA-CAROB SHAKE
I invented this one morning when I was just dying to combine these ingredients... worked very well, I must say. It's best if you give it 1/2 hour or so in the freezer so it gets more like ice cream than a thick drink.
