Maca Hot Chocolate

Happy 2023! This year, we are all about ADDING IN—not TAKING AWAY or DEPRIVATION. 

Let’s cheers to that with some Maca Hot Chocolate! I love the warm nostalgic feeling of sipping hot chocolate; it’s an important part of wintertime! 

This recipe is just as sweet and delicious as you remember it—just jam-packed with immunity boosters: vitamin C, iron, and amino acids. 

Maca also balances hormone levels, boosts energy, suppresses hot flashes, and supports a healthy libido—all without sugar! Now, that’s my kind of cuppa!

Ingredients: (Serves 2)

• 2 cups unsweetened almond or coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
• 1 teaspoon maca powder
• 4 pinches of ground cinnamon
• Pinch of sea salt (Celtic Grey, Himalayan pink, or Redmond Real Salt)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
• Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions:

1. Heat the almond milk and coconut oil together in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat.
2. Once heated, transfer to a blender, add the remaining ingredients, blend well until frothy, and serve.
3. Sip and cherish the moment!
