Beautifying Hot Chocolate

December 10, 2015Alyssa B

Ah, the power of the raw chocolate. It’s an automatic feel good. Loving this antioxidant-rich, metabolism boosting beautifying elixer, oops I mean hot chocolate. I have actually replaced my coffee with it and havn’t thought about coffee in weeks. I’m thrilled because coffee for me wasn’t about its effects, it was just this habit I had. It is amazing how habits sometimes just become mindless. Let’s bring mindfulness back. Rich in iron, fiber magnesium and healthy fats, this sweet treat gives you a beauty boost any time of day. Adding a little collagen powder powers up the benefits.

NOTE: I double this recipe and fill an entire Vitamix container. I save the extra and have it in my fridge in glass jars for up to a week. So I get to enjoy it everyday.

• 3 cups non dairy milk of choice (we’re loving Brazilian nut milk at the moment)
• 2 TBLS Matcha Powder
• 5 TBSP raw cacao powder
• 1-2 TBSP collagen powder
• 2 dates or TBSP raw honey
• 1 TSP Maca powder
• Dash of Cinnamon
• Dash of Cayenne pepper

Blend everything in blender, warm on stove hot.

Enjoy slowly, without a task in sight. A good book, or you fav magazine will do.

I am passionate about life and living it to the fullest. A cliche, I know. But we only have this life to live. That is it. So shouldn’t we make it the best it can be? And that means something different to everyone. For me it’s about being fuelled by my passions and having the energy to do it all. Because I believe the modern woman can have it all.
