Following is a guest post from my amazing friend, Casey…make sure to try her Blobs. Love the Blobs!
Hi everyone,
My name is Casey and I have a problem. Well, three problems. It’s not this guilty little secret either.
In fact my three problems are also three of my greatest loves. Most days I consider breaking up with my five year partner to get serious about these loves.
You understand, don’t you? In fact you might also be having a love affair with them. Be good to them. I don’t share lightly.
Can I introduce you to my loves?
They are…drum roll please…
Carob, coconut and avocado.
So should I be having strong words with them about their infidelity? 
I actually have a passion for all healthy whole foods. In fact, over at my blog (please say hi if you stop by!) my aim is to educate, guide and support you to live the life you want in a body you love and delicious healthy food is a huge part of that. Eating healthy should not only be good for your body, but great for your taste buds.
Heather and I have a mutual love for all things carob, avocado and coconut and as you’re reading Heather’s blog, it might be that you do too (because you’re awesome).
Today I want to share with you some of my favourite ways to use these three ingredients in recipes that taste incredible, and hopefully Heather will be able to spend a little more time with the beautiful Summer while I step in. I’ll take this opportunity to thank Heather too for the joy and food for thought her blog has given me over the past couple of years – thank you!
Now, over to the food. I do expect you to drool a little .
Carob Coconut Blobs
Of course I have to start with a recipe that includes all three of my loves, one that Heather has in fact shared on the blog before. My Carob Coconut “Blobs” (maybe not the most inspired name but fitting nonetheless!).
Raw Juice Pulp Burgers With Carrot Cheese Sauce
Sugar Free Carob Smoothie
Raw Japanese Caesar Dressing
Raw Pumpkin Pie Chai Smoothie
Carob Almond Love Cups
Lemon and Coconut Balls
Now it’s time to get cooking and salivate over the amazingness that is these fabulous ingredients along with Heather and I 
.

My goodness. Raw pumpkin chai smoothie? Thank goodness its nearly October… My gourd-mania is finally festive and cute rather than just kooky and bizarre!
hmm I’ve never had carob before but coconut and avocado are high up there on my list! All your recipes looks so creative and delicious. I think I would leave my (imaginary) love for butter
Casey
Oops…finger slipped!
Good decision Katie
While I’m not a fan of coconut–I think it tastes like suntan lotion smells–I have a slight obsession with avocados, broccoli, asparagus and sunflower seed butter (not all at once.)
Now I have to go stalk your blog…
Love all of those things! I adore steamed broccoli and asparagus with a drizzle of macadamia nut oil, lemon juice and sea salt…love!
Everything looks delicious..going to have to come back later and save all the recipes!! I love finding new, fun recipes!! I have been out of the carob phase for awhile and I think it’s time I started adding it in again!
Heather, thank you for the amazing opportunity to share my love for these ingredients with your readers. You know I adore you so much
xx
mmmm, thank you for the recipes. I too have your problems
It seems there are many of us vying for their attention…
Oh my.
Myohmyohmyohmy.
Too much deliciousness…brain cannot take it all in…
Alyssa this cracked me up
hmm give up my partner??? maybe cheese. or chocolate. tough call
I know, it’s a very serious question
Haha, I love that. I would say pumpkin and oatmeal. Definitely true loves of mine. I have to give those blobs a try! Everything sounds amazing!
Sarena I hope you can try them and enjoy them
Your recipes sounds great, Casey.
The Carob Coconut “Blobs” look intriguing. Avocado is something I use in raw vegan “mousses”, too.
Thanks for the fun linkbacks.
Thanks Averie! Think your blog is wonderful by the way
All these recipes look and sound AMAZING!!!
I love how they are so different from the same old raw desserts and balls I see everywhere.
What inventive, delectable, delights!
Sera thank you! That means so much to me
YUM. I love love love carob, especially when combined with coconut… so good. What awesome recipes Casey. Great to see a fellow Aussie on HEAB, am off to check out your website now!
Thank you Lou!! Great to connect with a fellow Aussie. Did you get up and dance to Heather’s post with Men At Work too then like me?
Thanks for that computer break Heather!
Just the recipes I need for my month without chocolate!
I don’t eat chocolate so I know how helpful these are…enjoy!
Whoa, those carob, coconut blobs look amazing! I bet they taste even better, and oddly enough I don’t even usually like coconut.
Lovely post, Casey! You know I love your blobs, and I’m excited by the Japanese dressing! Australia yay!
I’ve never had carob before – I hear it has a chocolate-y flavor? Am I right??
Caitlin,
Yes, carob is similar to chocolate but definitely has its own unique flavor. It contains zero caffeine and is naturally sweeter. I’m a huge fan myself but prefer roasted carob powder to raw, and if you try carob chips, the unsweetened ones are the best (although they are not vegan and do contain some dairy).
