The Best Healthy Hot Chocolate

This healthy hot chocolate is a delicious alternative to the powdered mixes we used when I was a kid!

The comforting blend of cocoa, almond milk, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla and coconut oil provide the decadent texture and warming flavors that you’d expect from a cup of hot chocolate.

I love using almond milk in this recipe as its easy flavor blends perfectly with the rich cocoa powder. If you want a creamier and nut-free drink, try using coconut milk instead.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups almond milk (or coconut milk)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon organic coconut oil
2 tablespoons of raw almond butter
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt to taste
1 heaping tablespoon cocoa powder

Directions:

In a milk frother, add all ingredients into the frother container and put the setting on steam/hot to blend together. If you don’t have a milk frother, use a Vitamix or high-speed blender until thick and smooth. Then pour into a small pot and gently heat until warm.
