There is something about cool winter months that has me craving a warm cup of cocoa. It’s cozy, sweet and very comforting. Growing up in Connecticut I remember many days sledding or skiing during the winter months and always running inside afterwards for some cocoa. It was always the best way to end the day!

However, the hot cocoa from my childhood is packed with artificial ingredients and loads of sugar. I knew this wasn’t an option for me (especially now that I’m pregnant) so I had to create one of my own!

This hot cocoa is high in protein, high in fiber, low in sugar and loaded with nutrients…and in my opinion tastes even creamier than the one from my childhood.

Lean and Green Body® Approved Hot Cocoa Recipe

Ingredients:

Coconut Cloud Hot Cocoa Mix

Oatly Oat Milk

Garden of Life Chocolate Raw Meal

Directions:

Steam one cup of oatly oat milk, then add 1 scoop of Garden of Life Raw Meal - shake or blend together.

Add 1 scoop of Coconut Cloud Hot Cocoa mix, and enjoy!

The Coconut Cloud Cocoa mix is a great product, and is vegan, gluten free and contains MCT oil. I like to mix it with the Garden of Life Raw Meal to add protein, fiber and essential nutrients to the cocoa. Even though the cocoa mix is relatively low in sugar, by adding protein and fiber to the drink you are assisting your body in the absorption of the sugar and helping to prevent a big sugar crash after your cocoa.

This combo also makes the drink super creamy! It has been my drink of choice the past few weeks.

Hope you enjoy!

Stay cozy friends. xxx
