The state of ethical cocoa certification seems like kind of a mess, so I’m trying to figure out what else I can mix in my morning soy or whey protein powder hot drink to make it tasty, without having to worry that child slaves were beaten just so I could jumpstart my daily protein uptake without making a face. (Sweetness isn’t important either, I’ve been using plain unsweetened cocoa powder.)

    Nobody likes carob. Anyone who says it’s good is lying or deluded. It’s most definitely not a replacement for chocolate.

      I wouldn’t say it is a perfect replacement, but I have eaten a few carob flavored cookies for dogs and it was close enough to chocolate for me to suggest it.
