Healthy Hot Chocolate


My daughter loves, I mean LOVES hot chocolate, but I prefer her to enjoy it without having unnecessary ingredients and loads of sugar.  This version uses only pure and nourishing ingredients, and still satisfies that hot chocolate craving.

(Note: If you have access to raw cream, whip it up, adding a little raw honey and vanilla to taste, and add a dollop to your hot chocolate.  This makes it even that much more delicious, and that much more nutritious.)




INGREDIENTS:

- 4 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 2 tablespoons raw honey (or more if you like it sweeter)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups raw whole milk (substitute full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option)


DIRECTIONS:

1. Add milk to a medium-sized saucepan and heat over low heat for about 7 minutes or until desired temperature.

2. In a small bowl, combine cacao powder, honey and vanilla.  Stir until it makes a paste.

3. Add cacao mixture to the warm milk, and stir until mixture has completely dissolved.  (Taste, and add more sweetener at this point if desired).

4. Serve immediately as is, or top with raw whipped cream.


Approximately 3 servings
