Description
My anti-inflammatory collagen hot chocolate is dairy-free, gluten-free and naturally sweetened with coconut crystals and a little raw honey. Collagen powder adds a protein boost, and it’s ready in about 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 10 ounces hot filtered water (1 1/4 cups)
- 2 ounces unsweetened almond or oat milk (1/4 cup)
- 2 teaspoons raw cacao
- 1 tablespoon collagen powder
- 2 teaspoons coconut crystals
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- dash of cinnamon
- dash of ground turmeric
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a large glass container until emulsified, using a whisk, handheld milk frother (my preference), or in a blender* until well emulsified. [See safety note below if using a blender; hot liquid expands when blended so always use common sense.]
Notes
*Hot liquid expands in a blender. If using a blender, never fill a blender more than 1/4 of hot liquid and always blend on low. Make sure the lid is on tight and place a large kitchen towel over the top to hold the lid in place as the hot liquid expanding can push it off. Always use common sense when blending hot liquids.
To make 4 servings:
40 ounces hot filtered water (5 cups)

4 teaspoons raw honey
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric
Recipe: Mix all ingredients in a large glass container until emulsified, using a whisk, handheld milk frother (my preference), or in a blender* until well emulsified.
