Easy Almond Hot Chocolate
I take two tasting squares of 70 percent dark chocolate and melt them with 2 Tbsp of hot water. Then I add 1 cup of warm unsweetened vanilla almond milk, ¼ tsp pure organic vanilla extract, and a dash of ground cinnamon. My ritual is to always use my favorite mug, take it out on my balcony, and slowly savor every sip while I enjoy some “me” time. Each of the plant-based ingredients is chock full of anti-aging, disease-fighting antioxidants, and the dark chocolate also provides stress-busting magnesium.
