Non-Dairy Anti-Inflammatory Hot Chocolate with CBD Oil
As someone with a chronic condition (endometriosis, if you don't know and are wondering), I find the best way for me to have a normal life is through a dietary lifestyle that promotes healing and limits the amount of inflammatory foods I consume. Supplements, herbs and vitamins are key for making sure I stay pain-free and to build up my immune system. Since I can't drink coffee as often as I'd like, I had to come up with something just as cozy to drink when I need a pick-me-up since I don't care too much for green tea (despite all of it's benefits, I just don't care too much for the taste). So I came up with my anti-inflammatory hot chocolate with CBD oil, which does the trick! (The CBD is completely optional, but I find it really helps promote a healthier life overall.) This serves one and add the ingredients to taste. I love mine rich and thick, so I go heavy on amount of cacao used.

Ingredients
1-2 tbsp cacao powder (less if you want it less rich)
1 1/2 tsp cocoa butter
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2-1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch fresh ground black pepper (helps the turmeric absorb)
Pinch sea salt
6 oz filtered water
1-2 oz coconut/almond/hemp/flax milk (can use others depending on your dietary/health needs)
Coconut sugar to taste
1 serving of your favorite CBD oil
Steps
Add all ingredients except CBD oil to a pot and simmer until hot and the cocoa butter has melted stirring well to blend (I like to use my milk frother wand for this as it helps the cocoa butter incorporate better but you can use a whisk, spoon, etc.). Pour into a mug and stir in your CBD oil. For extra fun, add a bit of dairy-free whipped cream and dust with extra cinnamon or cacao.
Enjoy!
Until next time, my lovelies!
