This time of year I start craving hot chocolate.  Something warm, sweet and nourishing that’s healthy.

Buy good quality cocoa or cacao powder.

Cocoa contains beta-carotene, calcium, zinc, iron, potassium, chromium and in particular magnesium that can help with bone mineralization, muscle contraction and immune function.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 2.5 cups almond or coconut milk

•  1 teaspoon honey
•  pinch sea salt

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients except for honey into a small pot.
2.  Heat gently.
3.  Pour into serving cups and enjoy.
