Real Chocolate Drink - enjoy hot or cold! The perfect treat for the evening - whether it is a warm summer evening or a cool winter nights…and a healthy indulgence without the guilt.
Leave behind the instant chocolate mixes containing highly processed sugar, fats and dairy powders, and instead indulge in a mug full of superfood healthy cacao and spices bursting with antioxidants, minerals and natural feel-good chemicals.
Superfood Real Hot (or Cold) Chocolate
- 1 ½ cups non-dairy milk of choice – almond (hazelnut, oat or rice (the nut milks make it especially creamy and decedent) or water)
- 1 tsp Coconut oil or butter
- 1 tbsp Honey or Coconut sugar (or ½ t stevia to substitute)
- 2 tbsp Raw Cacao powder
- 2 tsp Maca powder
- Optional: pinch each of Cinnamon (Cayenne pepper and Sea salt)
- Warm milk or water on stove and let cool slightly. If a raw hot chocolate is desired, do not heat the liquid to more than 42°C – or about finger touch temperature. Please note that this method will not result in a drink as hot as normal, but will retain all the nutrients of a raw drink.
- Stir through coconut oil/butter and sweetener until melted and combined
- Whisk in all dry ingredients until well combined
- For an extra creamy hot chocolate, blend briefly in blender or frother until smooth, frothy and creamy
- Fro a cool drink delight - add ice and stir, or cool in the fridge first. You may need to froth it again once it is cool
- Enjoy!
