This is hot chocolate with benefits. The cacao brings deep chocolate flavor, while ashwagandha and chaga blend right in without changing the taste in any noticeable way. You get a rich, cozy cup of hot chocolate that also happens to be packed with adaptogens. It is an easy way to work these ingredients into your routine without thinking about it.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 1/2 tsp ashwagandha powder
- 1/2 tsp chaga mushroom powder
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 1 tbsp Duck River honey
- Pinch of Ceylon cinnamon
- Pinch of Redmond Real Salt
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the cacao powder, ashwagandha powder, chaga mushroom powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add a splash of milk and whisk into a smooth paste.
- Gradually whisk in the remaining milk and heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until hot.
- Remove from heat, stir in the honey, and pour into a mug.
Notes
- The adaptogens blend right into the chocolate flavor, so this tastes like regular hot chocolate.
- For an extra mushroom boost, add 1/4 teaspoon of lion's mane mushroom powder or cordyceps mushroom powder.
- Top with cacao nibs and a dusting of Ceylon cinnamon for a finished look.
