Interesting Fact: The pod has vitamin A, B vitamins, and several important minerals. They can be eaten directly by livestock, but we know carob mostly because the pods are ground into a flour that is a cocoa substitute.
Although this product has a slightly different taste than chocolate, it has only one-third the calories (total 1595 calories per pound), is virtually fat-free (chocolate is half fat), is rich in pectin, is nonallergenic, has abundant protein, and has no oxalic acid, which interferes with absorption of calcium.
Consequently, carob flour is widely used in health foods for chocolate-like flavouring.

The Herbal Remedy for Water Retention and a Flatter Belly Around Your Stomach
I love herbal remedies.
They are my favourite kind of self-love.
Here is a fabulous recipe for creating a home-made tea to tackle water retention and, in time, achieve a flatter belly around your stomach.
Drink this cold or hot depending on the season and your mood :)
Enjoy it over ice and with a straw for happy summer days!
Suggested Diet: FreeFrom, moderately high on lean protein, low on carbohydrate, and low on artificial added fats.
Main Herb: Dandelion
Dandelion is a naturally diuretic herb which aids the production of urine and increases positive liver function.
It will remove the water retained in your body as well as general toxines, targeting the 'bloated area' which is usually around your abdominals.
Dandelion combined with some herbs and spices will help you achieve a lighter and less bloated result, and taste exotic!
As always, for best results, please combine this tea with exercise. Crunches are a great exercise in combination with this tea.
45 drops of Dandelion
5 Cardamom seeds
25 Cinnamon drops
8 Mint leaves
4 pieces of chopped Ginger
800ml of water
2tbsp of Pure Bee Honey (this is optional: add for a sweeter natural taste)
How to:
Add all ingredients to a pot and let boil for 8-10 minutes.
Then remove from hob and sieve through to a tea pot.
You can have up 2-4 cups of this tea per day.
Enjoy! x

The Benefits of Green Tea
What Are The Benefits of Green Tea? We know it's refreshing and delicious, welcomed any time of the year and needed in times of bloating or illness.
But exactly why does this simple infusion make us feel so good?
Let's find out!
Helps U Lose Weight
The Polyphenol which is naturally found in green will increase the levels of fat oxidation, and this in turn increases your metabolism. The rate in which your body turns food into calories is sped up noticeably.
Prevents Diabetes
By helping to regulate your glucose levels, it slows down the rise of sugar in your blood especially after a meal. This helps prevent saturated fat storing in your body, and thus high insulin illnesses.
Reduces Chances of Heart Disease
Research is being made into whether or not green tea as an effect on the lining of blood vessels. It is thought that it helps them stay calm and react more readily to changes in the blood pressure. Scientists may also prove that it helps prevent the formation of clots which are usually the main cause of heart attacks.

Research suggests that Green Tea delays the symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. It protects brain cells from dying and restores damaged ones.

Green Tea does magic to your skin - or at least its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities do. They helps tone and refresh your pores, leaving you younger looking and with a spot-free face.
