Vital Fit Hot Chocolate Recipe

Justin Cantelo, creator of the Vital Fit System, brings you this exciting, healthy and delicious recipe that has all the health benefits of hot chocolate without the calories.

Try this really tasty, warming and satisfying hot chocolate. It's quick, easy and healthy. Use this recipe to make your own hot chocolate and make the most of the health benefits of cocoa (heart disease & cancer prevention), cinnamon (blood sugar control) and chilli (metabolism and appetite) as well as it being low in fat.

But unless you make it yourself, hot chocolate is not necessarily a healthy drink. Making your own from pure cocoa is tastier, cheaper, has no hidden additives and is very easy.

Ingredients:

2 cups low fat milk / soy milk / oat milk

2 tsp cocoa

2 sticks cinnamon or 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

2 tsp raw honey or sugar

1 tiny pinch chilli powder (optional)

Method:

In a small pan heat the milk but do not bring it to the boil. Spoon the cocoa and a pinch of chilli (optional) into a small jug and pour a little of the milk, from the pan, into the jug and stir with a small whisk until it makes a paste.

Return the cocoa paste to the pan, and whisk in the sugar. Heat for another minute or so, while you continue to whisk the cocoa. IMPORTANT: Don't boil the milk. Serve in cups with a cinnamon stick in each cup.
