Hot chocolate and cocoa drinks are enjoyed by adults and children. However, store-bought versions contain a lot of sugar and other harmful additives. Therefore, we recommend making chocolate at home – and adding this popular superfood to it.
Hot chocolate at first glance seems like an unnecessary and high-calorie drink. If you prepare it yourself and replace preservatives and sugar with valuable natural ingredients, the drink will begin to compete with smoothie bowls and other useful supplements for cleansing the body and gut health.
Healthy cocoa ingredients
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds
- Half a glass of boiling water
- 1-2 tablespoons natural cocoa (to taste)
- 1 cup milk – animal or vegetable, depending on preference
How to make healthy cocoa
- Pour boiling water over the flax seeds and let steep for 15 to 20 minutes
- Mix all the ingredients in a blender and blend. Everything is ready !
Milk can be used both hot and cold – depending on how you like to drink cocoa. You can also add a little honey and your favorite spices to the drink – for example, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg.
