My sunday plans?
I'm kicking back and getting cozy with a cup of my new favorite treat: Holiday Hot Cocoa.
Originally developed by holistic nutritionist @NUTRITIOUSLYNICOLE, THIS IS MY UNIQUE SPIN ON HOT COCOA AND IT'S HANDS-DOWN ONE OF THE EASIEST RECIPES I'VE EVER MADE. BEAUTY-BOOSTING, DELICIOUS, NOURISHING AND SO GROUNDING - PLUS IT ONLY TAKES 5 MINUTES!
I first discovered Nicole Inwentash in September when I decided to really work on my gut health, inflammation and overall digestive health. One of the biggest things I went to Nicole with was my lack of balance I could feel in my gut as well as struggling with sweet cravings. I really wanted to work on creating more balanced meals with a consistent snack between lunch and dinner which included a healthy hot chocolate recipe. I put my own spin on it and I can't get enough.
I love it because it's SO easy to make! I can make it in the morning, pack it in my lunch and warm it up in the microwave at work. Not only that but it satisfies my sweet tooth and also fills me up, it's dairy and refined sugar-free and doesn't cause bloating - win, win, win!

What you need:
- 1/2 cup of almond milk or nut milk of your choice
- 1/2-1 cup water
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder

- 1 scoop of AGENT NATEUR HOLI (MANE)
- 1 scoop GODDESS ALL PREBIOTIC INULIN (I like to add this if I'm making the hot chocolate at nighttime to soothe my gut!)

How to make it:
- To make the hot chocolate, add all the ingredients to a small saucepan and heat on medium low.
- Whisk well or froth with an electric frother until ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
*Pro tip: I added coffee to the recipe recently and it turned it into the most delicious mocha-style treat. A must try! SUPERCHARGING IT WITH HOLI (MANE) AND INULIN ALSO TAKES IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
I promise this hot chocolate tastes better than any mix you can find and it takes the same amount of time to make. It's delicious, warming, and filled with gut-loving ingredients with so many benefits. I'm always making this for friends' kids who come over. It's a huge hit!
I love drinking this hot chocolate because I know the ingredients are extremely clean and won't spike my blood sugar. It's the perfect daily treat!
