When I first started the autoimmune protocol, I was skeptical about carob at first. Surely no chocolate substitute could measure up to the rich, velvety texture of the real thing. But it’s grown on me to the point where I actually prefer it over chocolate now (and not only because it doesn’t give me symptoms). I’ll admit carob takes some getting used to. It’s a fruitier, sweeter flavor, which makes for a different experience, but it does work well everywhere cocoa would normally go. Especially when you throw in other spices like cinnamon and cloves. This Mexican Chocolate Mousse is one of my favorite AIP-friendly answers to chocolate cravings, especially during the warmer months. But when it’s cold, it can also be served as hot chocolate!

  1. Is mace AIP – friendly? I thought it was part of nutmeg that was excluded from AIP…
