What's great about it

This time of year I start craving hot chocolate. Something warm, sweet and nourishing that's healthy and not going to start turning me into a marshmallow during winter. When drinking hot chocolate, it’s best to drink out of a large mug or bowl because your senses pick up every aroma coming out from the steaming hot milk – The taste and smell of vanilla bean, cinnamon and cacao nourish your soul and warm the body. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Serves 2

1 1/2 cups milk - your choice of almond, coconut, or organic brown rice milk

1 cup (250 ml ) water

1 heaped tablespoon Healthy Chef Naked Chocolat

1 heaped tablespoon Healthy Chef Marine Collagen

pinch of ground cinnamon powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

1 tablespoon macadamia butter (optional)

1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional)

pinch sea salt

Method

Combine milk, water, Naked Chocolat, Marine Collagen, cinnamon and vanilla into a small pot.
Heat gently.
Whisk in the macadamia nut butter if using at this stage.
