Healthier Hot Chocolate!

IMG_5721.jpeg

Hot Chocolate is a staple in the winter months! I love having a steaming cup of hot chocolate by the fire on a winter day - nothing says cozier more than that in my opinion! The packaged hot chocolate mixes are full of sugar and unnecessary ingredients, which is why I made a healthier version so I can enjoy my treat and still feel great. Use whatever kind of milk that you prefer when making this recipe, and feel free to add a drop of peppermint or vanilla extract to make it extra special :)

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (I use MALK or Three Trees)

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
