Healthy Hot Chocolate Recipe
PEANUT BUTTER HOT CHOCOLATE
1 cup of milk (I like unsweetened almond milk)
1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp. honey
1 tbsp. peanut butter
Optional: whipped cream and chopped peanuts Adds Calories
Combine milk, cocoa powder, and honey in a small pot. Gently heat over a medium low heat, whisking until all the ingredients are combined and the cocoa is simmering (you want to avoid a full boil so the milk doesn’t separate). Add the peanut butter and gently stir until it has melted into the cocoa. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy! *Optional: top with whipped cream and chopped peanuts
GINGERBREAD HOT CHOCOLATE
1 cup of milk (I like unsweetened almond milk)
1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp. honey
1/8th tsp. ground ginger
1/8th tsp. cinnamon
Small pinch of ground cloves
Optional: whipped cream or marshmallows and a cinnamon stick Adds Calories
Combine milk, cocoa powder, honey, ginger, cinnamon and cloves in a small pot. Gently heat over a medium low heat, whisking until all the ingredients are combined and the cocoa is simmering (you want to avoid a full boil so the milk doesn’t separate). Pour into your mug and enjoy. *Optional: top with whipped cream or marshmallows and a cinnamon stick.
PEPPERMINT HOT CHOCOLATE
1 cup of milk (I like unsweetened almond milk)
1-2 peppermint tea bags
1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp. honey
Optional: whipped cream and a peppermint candy (crushed) Adds Calories
Add milk to a small sauce pan along with the tea bags (use one tea bag for a mild mint flavor and two for a stronger flavor). I like to tie the string of the tea bag around the handle so it doesn’t get lost. Bring heat to a medium low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and whisk in cocoa powder and honey until well combined. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy. *Optional: Top with whipped cream and crushed peppermint candy
