Hot Cocoa

stock photo

1 tablespoon Virgin Coconut Oil
1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
pinch Himalayan salt
1/4 teaspoon organic whole sugar
(minimum)

Pour boiling water into a mug and let sit for about 20
seconds. Empty the water and put one tablespoon full of the
virgin coconut oil in it. It melts quickly as you stir in
one tablespoonful of cocoa powder and a pinch of Himalayan
salt. Use a minimum of 1/4 tsp. of whole organic sugar to
cut the bitterness of the cocoa and then add stevia drops to
taste. Usually about 12 drops. Pour boiling water in the cup, stir, and add cream or milk to taste. This makes a great treat very quickly. Other sweeteners can be used.

I love this recipe because its so simple. I usually have all these ingredients on hand. I added a pastured egg to mine and blended it with a stick blender. I absolutely love it :) Thanks for sharing your simple yet delicious recipe.

No.. the agave is not good for us.
And RAW Sugar is SUGAR.
Use the plant-based Stevia in one of its several forms.
I just found this blog and it is great!

I just thought I’d let everybody know that agave nectar is not good for you!

I prefer this with just the rich organic coco powder and the coconut oil.  NO SWEETNERS. the sweets makes it much harder for the coconut oil to clean the liver, and the purpose of drinking this is to improve my health.  but it is your choice if you want the sweets.

Me too. I got tired of unsweet tea and I’m not that fond of coffee. I had read about buttered coffee so I thought of trying hot cocoa with coconut oil. I don’t add any sweetener, just heat a little water to almost boil and add about 1 tbls unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tbls coconut oil. I have also been doing a version of intermittent fasting (I don’t eat until after 11:00 am and usually don’t eat after 3:00 – 4:00 pm.)

Just mixed a tbsp of the oil with a packet of hot cocoa mix.
Thumbs up, a delicious easy way to work some coconut oil into my diet. Next time will try cocoa powder + stevia.

This sounds delicious…I’m going to make it right now. I’m not a big coffee drinker but I’m a sucker for cocoa!

I used 2 tbs. of OVAlTINE which contains it’s own sweetner so you dont have to fuss.  Muy delisioso!!

amazingly yummy! I used stevia, which is an all natural sweetener. I have agave as well and will try that next time. Delicious either way

Try sweetening with agave nectar.  It is very good that way.

Any sort of artificial sweetener will negate the amazing affects of the coconut oil in this delicious recipe. Artificial sweeteners are amazingly HORRIBLE for you and will not help anything you are trying to accomplish. Do some research on them and then go buy organic raw sugar.

This is so good! It makes a great energy drink. :)

5 stars.

I tried you cocoa recipe and it was just delicious.  When the grandchildren visit I will definitely be making this for them.  I used 1 tsp of xylitol as a sweetener for this.  

Thank you

We enjoy adding a couple of tablespoons of the Coconut Cream Concentrate to our hot cocoa.
