There must be something about being a vegetarian and a star that makes you want to try weird food combinations. Or maybe it’s just being vegetarian and a music star.

First, there’s RZA and his veggie burger patty on waffles. Then there’s Chris Walla promoting his veggie sausage with peanut butter. Could it get any worse? Our latest meatless recipe comes from Jason Mraz, who turned to a raw food diet earlier in the spring of this year, which also helped his bandmate, Toca Rivera, shown on the right in the photo, eliminate his symptoms of diabetes.

“Chocomole,” is exactly what it sounds like: Guacamole-like avocado whip with chocolate flavoring. Now it could be that we are just sheltered little blogggers whose food palate is limited by beans and rice and Amy’s Tofu Pot Pies and chocolate guacamole is a happening thing in foodie culture. If chocolate guacamole is a huge part of culture in the region of [insert region we’ve offended] and we don’t know about it, apologies in advance.

Mraz has his own avocado farm with trees that are 25-30 years old and describes his kitchen as sometimes being plentiful of the species, with him washing, eating, and distributing to friends who stop by.

This “chocomole” contraption he describes as chocolate mousse.

“You will freak when you try this chocolate mousse,” Mraz said.

Freak indeed, but hopefully in a good way.

Hop over here for the recipe which includes raw cacao, avocado, and agave nector, to name a few ingredients.

The “Curbside Prophet” Jason Mraz has been a vegan since April 1st. While some stars on tour may find it hard for restaurants and hotels to cater to them, Mraz prefers to make his own contraptions.

“Rather than rely on room service and overpriced restaurant versions of vegetarian cuisine, I shop at local grocers and eat my own delicious homemade meals.”

Like Russell Simmons, Mraz thinks yoga is where all the good looking chicks are as there are many “hot girls fresh from yoga” to be found in natural foods stores.

He and his friend Toca Rivera both started eating vegan and since then, Rivera, who has diabetes, claims his diabetic problems has disappeared.

But don’t tell Mraz that eating unprocessed, vegan food is considered “alternative.”

“ALTERNATIVES? How did we let nature’s supply take a back seat and become so hard to reach?”
