Healthy hot chocolate is here, and I think it’s even better than the regular stuff.

Here’s a my spin to turn regular unhealthy hot chocolate into a healthier treat!

Ingredients:
- 20 ounces unsweetened almond milk (or unsweetened soy milk, any other unsweetened nut milk or unsweetened coconut milk)

- 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup (plus more to taste if needed)
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Warm the almond milk on the stove over medium heat until hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk to combine (1-2 minutes).
- Heat another 1-2 minutes and serve immediately.
NOTES:
- As written this recipe makes about two servings, but it's easily doubled or tripled.
