Hot Cocoa, Vegan Style
I was craving hot cocoa the other day, as I came indoors from temperatures down into the mid-teens and I realized that hot cocoa is something I never “allow” myself to indulge in. I make it for my son and his buddies all winter long, but I always have tea. Hmmmm…
That was beginning to sound like denial to me, an unhealthy state of mind, so I set about making a simple hot cocoa in a way that suited my Nutritional Style®.
I used coconut sugar, a delicious sweetener that’s low on the glycemic index, meaning it doesn’t spike your blood sugar levels the way processed white sugar would.
It’s dairy free, low-glycemic, and suitable for you Healthy Omnivores, Flexible Vegetarians, and Modern Vegans too.
No more denial for either of us.
Make yourself a cup of this, guilt-free.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened nut milk or coconut milk of choice (home made is best)
1 tsp raw, organic cacao
2 tsp coconut sugar (this is also sold under the name palm sugar)
