HAZELNUT HOT CACAO / DAIRY FREE



Winter is definitely here. Coffee and tea are great but sometimes what you really need is a cup of hot chocolate. Skip the sugary, artificial, store bought mixes and make this nutrient rich hot chocolate instead.


You will need:

1 cup coconut or almond milk

1/2 cup coconut cream

2 teaspoons raw cacao powder

2 tablespoon date syrup

1 teaspoon smooth hazelnut butter


A generous heaping of restraint to not drink 5 cups (this recipe should make around 2)!


Combine all of the ingredients into a saucepan and lightly heat. Whisk gently until all ingredients are blended. Be careful as the hazelnut butter will want to stick to the bottom of the pan. Try not to let it come to a boil - Cacao is most nutrient rich in its raw form. 


Enjoy and stay warm!
