Bulletproof hot chocolate recipe
The weather is cold and the tree is up and nothing satisfies my taste for warm drinks like this delicious bulletproof hot chocolate recipe. I started looking at the mixes available and was a bit horrified. Ingredients like “modified corn solids” send chills up my spine and a nauseous feeling in my stomach. I tend to read ingredients then try and create my own real food version. In this case I visited a few websites and came up with two versions of hot chocolate that will leave you with a satisfied, warm, creamy, chocolately taste in your mouth without a jittery blood sugar drop about an hour after you consumed it. This bulletproof hot chocolate recipe gives you more chocolate less junk!
With most hot chocolate recipes calling for lots of sugar and/or simple carbohydrates, we thought that this more ketogenic hot cocoa would help our patients warm up and enjoy the fall and winter months without the blood-sugar spikes associated with sugar, corn syrup and other simple carbs.
Let us know what you think, stay warm and enjoy!
