I love chocolate, especially in
the form of hot cocoa in the cooler winter months. Commercial hot chocolate
from stores or coffee shops are often loaded with ingredients that make the hot
chocolate delicious, but that can leave one feeling sluggish after. I found this recipe for Superfood Hot Chocolate and decided to make something similar based on
what I already had.
For an
invigorating hot chocolate with natural ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
Cinnamon *
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 tablespoon honey
A little sea salt
1 cup unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
Cinnamon *
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 tablespoon honey
A little sea salt
* They said
3 dashes; one dash is 1/8 teaspoon, so I just added about ½ teaspoon. Or, you
could always use a Pinch/Smidgeon/Dash Measuring Set.
1. Warm
the almond milk on the stovetop at moderate heat for 5 – 10 min, swirling a few
times. It should emanate heat visibly without coming to a boil.
2.
Blend the heated milk with all other ingredients.
It
tuned out pretty well - sweet, but with a kick from the cinnamon and turmeric.
There is a lot of room for adjusting the recipe based on available or preferred
ingredients.
Hope
you have a warmer winter!
