Better-for-You Hot Chocolate Ingredients

Beef Bone Broth – Use a high-quality store-bought bone broth, or make beef bone broth at home.
Unsweetened Chocolate – We recommend using dark or semi-sweet baking chocolate.
Milk – Whole milk will yield the richest taste and creamiest texture, but any milk you like finest will taste great!
Sugar – We use granulated sugar, but any sweetener or sugar substitute you like finest, such as honey or maple syrup, can be used.
Coffee – Technically optional, this helps enhance the rich chocolate flavor. Use decaf coffee to keep this recipe caffeine-free!
Cacao Powder – NOT cocoa powder! Cacao powder is made from raw cacao beans and is full of health benefits for a drink you can feel good about!
Flavor Enhancers – Pure vanilla extract and just a pinch of salt help enhance the flavor of the rest of the ingredients.
Cinnamon – We like to add a dash of ground cinnamon or cinnamon sticks for a warm flavor, but it’s optional!
