Keto Hot Cocoa

When adding coconut oil to any recipe, you add anti-bacterial (antibiotic), anti-viral, anti-fungal & overall anti-microbial, medicinal & fat-burning nutrition to your creation :) With the extra peppermint essential oil, also a powerful antibiotic/antiviral/anti-microbial, you now have a powerful medicinal drink that tastes AMAZING and won't harm your "good bacteria" (probiotics)!! AND the peppermint will sure open up your sinuses!!

SICK?? Doctor's orders.... drink healthy hot cocoa :) How fun is that?! 

1 cup hot water or unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 Tbsp raw cacao powder
Vanilla (liquid) stevia, monkfruit, Swerve or xylitol, to taste 
Splash of (alcohol-free) vanilla extract
1-2 Tbsp raw coconut oil
1-2 Tbsp grass-fed butter
1 scoop Nature's Sunshine collagen powder
1 drop Nature's Sunshine Peppermint Essential Oil  

Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender, on high speed. The coconut oil/butter and collagen powder make it a frothy/creamy "chocolate latte"! Blend on high until it heats to desired temperature. If you don't have a high-powered blender (like Vitamix), then use hot water or heated almond milk before adding your ingredients to your blender. 

​.NOTE: This is a great way to get your daily coconut oil in!!

​Enjoy a healthy, medicinal dose of caprylic acid (anti-fungal/anti-viral/anti-bacterial; thyroid fuel; fat-burning; brain nourishing) goodness from coconut oil and the good, saturated, nourishing, digestible fats from the grass-fed butter.  If you add the collagen powder, technically this "drink" is a "meal" balanced with fantastic fats and proteins... and ZERO sugar crash! This makes for a healthy addition to any breakfast, and could be considered a healthy, small mid-day meal. There is a lot of medicinal value and nourishment in this brain-nourishing, fat-burning treat!!

You're welcome! ;)
