The Best Healthy Hot Chocolate
30 mins prepServes 1
Hot chocolate is a favorite at our house and this healthy version beats hot chocolate with refined sugar and corn syrup any day! With just a couple simple ingredients, you can feel good about serving this hot chocolate.
Heat your milk of choice on the stovetop in a small saucepan- be careful not to boil the milk, just gently heat it
Add a heaping tablespoon of unsweetened cacao powder to your mug
Pour the warm milk over the cacao powder and using a frother, mix well
Add your sweetener of choice: honey or maple syrup are good paleo sweeteners and allulose, monkfruit, or stevia will make this hot chocolate low carb, blood sugar-friendly and keto
Serve with a a sprinkling of crushed candy cane, a few dark chocolate shavings, or a homemade healthy marshmallow!
