Better than holding a cup of a hot drink in your hands, is knowing that it is full of good things for our body. When the weather gets colder, when I feel more down as the days start to get darker... this hot cocoa made with my CALMA blend is the perfect recipe to improve my mood. 

CALM is a mixture of medicinal plants, superfoods and adaptogens, which calm the nervous system and anxiety, leaving you calm and relieved. It is made from cocoa, a sacred food, used in Aztec and Mayan rituals, which improves blood circulation and stimulates the production of serotonin - and therefore elevates your mood. The mixture also has reishi , a mushroom that strengthens the immune system and relieves you from daily stress, ashwagandha , which balances emotions, and shatavari, a medicinal plant full of antioxidants, with regulatory functions (and aphrodisiac too!).

Super Tip:

To make this hot cocoa even richer, you can add 1 tablespoon of almond or maca butter, or 1/2 teaspoon of chaga . 

Ingredients for 1 to 2 glasses

2 cups of plant-based milk of your choice (my favorite )
2 teaspoons of CALM
1 teaspoon cocoa butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder

Preparation

1. Heat the milk in a pan over medium heat, without letting it boil.

2. In a blender, combine the milk with the remaining ingredients. If necessary, add a little sweetener to taste, such as coconut sugar or honey. 

3. Beat until you get a creamy mixture with foam on top. If you like, sprinkle cocoa or cinnamon powder.
