Almond Butter Cookies

1 cup almond butter or peanut butter
3/4 cup sucanat, or other granular sugar (white sugar, whole cane sugar)
1 tablespoon flax mixed with 3 tablespoons water
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. sea salt
3 oz. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend first 5 ingredients. Add the chocolate.
Drop in balls. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

I've used a little cocoa powder instead of the chocolate chips and it turned out well. These are really good frozen!

Chocolate Dip

1 1/2 cups raw almonds

3/4 cup vanilla soy milk (or any other kind of milk)

2 cups raw spinach

2 cups frozen strawberries or blueberries

2/3 cup pitted dates

3 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blend almonds and milk in blender until smooth (add more milk if needed, can be very thick). Add remaining ingredients and blend until thoroughly mixed. Use as a dip for fruit: bananas, strawberries, apples, etc.
