The Best Period Hot Chocolate Recipe
This comforting mug of goodness is my period hot chocolate recipe made with real cacao, a touch of natural sweetness, and optional collagen for added hormone support.
Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Cacao powder
- 2 Tbsp Collagen optional
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 dash Vanilla extract
- 1-2 Tbsp Pure maple syrup adjust to taste
- 1 cup Milk I use whole milk, but alternative milks will also work
Instructions
- Steam or heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave until warm (not boiling). I prefer to microwave the milk in a glass container in two 45-second bursts, and stirring in between.
- In your mug, add the cacao, collagen (if using), salt, vanilla, and maple syrup, and small amount of milk. Quickly whisk or froth together, creating a thick sauce mixture.
- Slowly pour in the rest of the warm milk while continuing to whisk until smooth and frothy.
- Enjoy the benefits of this healthy dark chocolate hot cocoa recipe.
Notes
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract for a Christmas-y version of this drink!
- Top with homemade marshmallows to add even more nutritional benefits to this drink
