This healthy hot chocolate is a much healthier version than our standard hot chocolate! We have leveled up the nutrition in so many ways!! For the milk base, we are using coconut milk that is full of healthy fat & creamy goodness, not to mention the delicious flavor. Then we flavored it with raw cacao powder that comes straight from ground cocoa beans. It is full of minerals and dietary fiber. It’s a Mayan superfood that has been celebrated for generations. I love using it in baking, smoothies & this hot chocolate!!
Then we sweeten it with a little raw agave which is straight from nature as well. Then we add a touch of sea salt & vanilla to enhance the flavors. You can even add a pinch of salt for an even deeper flavor. I think you’ll agree, this is chocolate from heaven! Drinkable chocolate that you don’t need to feel guilty about!!
It only makes a couple cups worth, so double the recipe if you have lots of mouths to feed!!
The recipe is so simple, you truly just put all the ingredients in the pan, warm it up over medium heat until the desired temperature is reached (usually just a couple minutes) and you’re good to go! This makes a small batch. Probably only enough for 2-3 people. It is very easily doubled or tripled if you need more! Enjoy!
- 1 can coconut milk or lite coconut milk
- 1 1/2 – 2 tsp. cacao powder
- 1/4 c. raw agave
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla
- pinch of salt
Put all ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium heat until the mixture reaches the desired temperature. It only takes a couple minutes, so just watch it. Make sure to whisk all the ingredients so you don’t have any clumps and enjoy!!
