Maca Hot Chocolate
Maca is an amazing superfood powder, known for its ability to naturally balance your hormones and give you great energy and boost your mood. On its own the taste can be a bit bitter, but when blended with chocolate and warming spices, the result is delicious. Optional to use milk of your choice here, instead of water for an even creamier result (or blend with ½ teaspoon coconut oil,coconut butter or a scoop of collagen peptide powder). Or, skip the maca completely and justmake an amazing homemade hot chocolate, or try the Date Hot Chocolate version below.
