Raw Vegan Hot Chocolate - 2 Ways! Blender vs Mug | Cultivator Kitchen

almond milk

🥗Healthier: oat milk

💰Cheaper: soy milk

Oat milk provides a creamier texture at a lower cost.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave nectar

💰Cheaper: honey

Honey is often less expensive and adds a unique flavor.

coconut cream

🥗Healthier: cashew cream

💰Cheaper: whipped coconut milk

Whipped coconut milk is a more affordable alternative with similar creaminess.

raw cacao powder

🥗Healthier: carob powder

💰Cheaper: regular cocoa powder

Regular cocoa powder is cheaper and still provides a chocolate flavor.

For the mug method, start by adding raw cacao powder to a mug.

Pour in almond milk until the mug is about three-quarters full.

Add a splash of maple syrup, a dash of vanilla extract, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt.

Stir the mixture well with a spoon until everything is combined.

For the blender method, add raw cacao powder, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt into the blender.

Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.

Taste the blended mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup.

Pour the blended hot chocolate into mugs and top with coconut cream.

Sprinkle nutmeg on top for garnish.

Serve immediately and enjoy warm.
