Did you know that most of us are deficient in magnesium and our bodies often crave it in the form of… wait for it….. CHOCOLATE? Yeah, it’s TRUE! Chocolate is a GREAT source of magnesium, so if you find yourself at the vending machine dreaming about that chocolate bar, you are totally normal!!
“Magnesium is the unsung hero of minerals. It’s required in literally thousands of biochemical processes, from muscle activation and nerve function to protein digestion, metabolism, bone health and blood pressure regulation. “

Lucky for us, I found a recipe that combines the benefits of dark chocolate with the stress-reducing comfort of hot cocoa. It’s non-dairy, sugar-free and absolutely YUMMY.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened dark chocolate cocoa powder
- 2 packets stevia
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and whisk while cooking on high heat. Once all of the ingredients combine and are frothy and hot to your liking, serve in your favorite mug. Enjoy!
Let me know if you give it a try! I’d love to hear from you. Be sure to pin the recipe!
