    pictures of AIP 'Chocolate' recipes

    Just because chocolate isn’t allowed during the elimination stage of the autoimmune protocol, doesn’t mean that you can’t indulge that chocolate craving. Carob makes a fine substitute in these AIP ‘chocolate’ recipes.

    Is chocolate allowed on AIP?

    Nope. Chocolate is a seed (even though it commonly thought of as a bean) and seeds are not elimination stage friendly. [source]

    Is carob a chocolate?

    No. It’s deceiving because it looks and smells so much like chocolate. However, carob is made from the dried and ground pod of a legume. Legumes are also not allowed during the elimination stage, so this makes it even more confusing. However, since you’re eating the pod not the seeds, it gets a pass. [source]

    What can you eat instead of chocolate?

    Carob is a common substitute for chocolate. It’s allowed during the elimination stage of the autoimmune protocol and has a very similar flavor.

    If you’d like to try carob, try these AIP ‘Chocolate’ recipes.
