HEALTHY HOT CHOCOLATE

I have to admit that I am slightly addicted to chocolate. It is my absolute weakness. In winter my husband and I sip this decadent, may I mention healthy, hot chocolate in bed once the kids are asleep. Nevertheless, it is perfectly delicious and healthy enough to serve to your children too.

HOT CHOCOLATE Serves 2

1 1/4 cup almond milk

1 cup coconut milk

3 Tbsp cacao powder

2 Tbsp honey

1 tsp vanilla essence

Pour all of the ingredients into a pot and let it simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes.

Whisk it every now and then, to make sure that there are no lumps of cacao.

Pour into 2 mugs, sip and enjoy.

ICED CHOCOLATE Serves 2

This iced version of my healthy hot chocolate recipe is the perfect summer drink as it is refreshing, perfectly chocolaty and satisfying all in one.

Hot chocolate recipe (from above)

2 cups ice

Let the hot chocolate cool down completely.

Pour the cooled hot chocolate and the ice into a blender and blend until the ice is crushed and the mixture is thick and almost creamy.

Pour into 2 glasses, drink and enjoy.
