the best almond & coconut hot chocolate 

from our nutritionist, Jess. 

“This is the most perfect beverage for cosying up on the sofa with on a cold winter’s day or as a post long walk treat at the weekend or as a dessert huddled round the kitchen table. 

If you’ve ever been to Spain and enjoyed churros dunked in warm hot chocolate, then this hot chocolate recipe will remind you of this, though it’s a much healthier experience! It’s hard to believe there’s no cream in this silky smooth drink and it’s all down to the almond and coconut milk.”

ingredients

300ml almond milk

400ml tin coconut milk

4 tbsp cacao powder

5 medjool dates, pitted

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp vanilla seeds (optional)

pinch Himalayan salt

mini marshmallows (optional)

Add all ingredients (except marshmallows) to a blender and blend until you have a smooth consistency and the dates have blended. Add more water if required to thin the mis slightly if you would like a thinner consistency (I like my hot chocolate quite thick).

Warm gently in a saucepan until heated through, stirring occasionally to prevent any clumping.

Pour into mugs, top with mini marshmallows and enjoy!
