Indulgent, but healthy: The good-for-you hot chocolate that is a dream come true

Trine Jensen-Burke

The evenings are long and dark, and we are all in need of an indulgent treat once we sink into the sofa for the night.

But if you are also trying to stay healthy, well, then what’s a girl to do?

That was a rhetorical questions, ladies – because here’s what:

This healthy, yet super-delicious hot chocolate requires only four ingredients and take no more than five minutes to prepare.

Yes, really.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
  1. Combine all the ingredients into a saucepan over high heat, using a whisk to break up any clumps. Keep stirring until smooth and piping hot, then pour into a mug and serve warm.
  2. Top with dairy-free whipped cream and shaved chocolate, if desired.
