Whole Foods Hot Cocoa

Beverages
Written By Stephanie Harrod

Once December hits you can catch me wanting a warm mug of cocoa just about any day.

But, I don’t always want the processed sugar, especially when it’s coming at us from all angles this time of year.

I have a big sweet tooth and especially around the holidays love enjoying all the home baked goodies. But, I don’t always love how it makes me feel and have noticed that as I get older my tolerance to it has gotten worse and I feel the effects more drastically.

Here is a tasty treat you can enjoy without worrying that it will make you feel inflamed, puffy or tired.

Recipe:

  • 8 oz warm milk or milk alternative of your choice

  • 1 TBSP cocao powder

  • 1 TBSP maple syrup

  • Bonus electrolytes: 1/3 packet LMNT chocolate salt

  • Combine ingredients in a mug with whisk or frother
