Superfood Hot Cacao with Seed Mylk

What is comforting, delicious and full of health benefits –> this “Superfood Hot Cacao“!!! It comes together in a few minutes and requires just a blender with a handful of ingredients. I made this on a cold/rainy afternoon and it felt like a warm hug in a mug. I’ve used Ahwagandha (best known for its stress releasing, reduced glucose and triglycerides level and muscle growth properties) and Lucuma (a great source for soluble fibre and excellent antioxidant) to elevate the nutrition profile, but you can completely omit these if needed. You could also add instant espresso or coffee powder to make a superfood mocha… as always, use the below recipe as a template and do you. I hope you make it and enjoy it as much as i did!! xx
