Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Barlean's Chocolate Silk Greens
- 1 tablespoon Barlean’s Immune Support - Olive Leaf Complex Peppermint
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based—your choice!)
- 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream for topping (because, why not?)
- A generous drizzle of Barlean's Seriously Delicious Essential Woman Chocolate Mint
Instructions:
Warm Up the Milk:
Start by heating your milk of choice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to avoid scalding. If you're a fan of extra creaminess, you can even use a combo of milk and a splash of coconut cream for that velvety texture!
Mix the Magic:
Once your milk is warm (but not boiling), whisk in the Chocolate Silk Greens Powder and Immune Support Olive Leaf Complex - Peppermint. These two ingredients not only make your hot chocolate healthier, but they also give it a boost of antioxidant power, and immune support. Bonus points: the peppermint in the Immune Support - Olive Leaf Complex will add a cool, refreshing flavor that perfectly complements the rich chocolate.
Sweeten to Taste:
Optional: Add in your sweetener of choice—whether it’s maple syrup, honey, or a pinch of stevia. Stir it in and taste test to see if you need a little more sweetness. This step is totally optional as our Barlean's Chocolate Silk Greens have a sweetness already.
Flavor Boost:
Stir in a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This little touch elevates the flavor profile and adds that cozy, comforting aroma.
Top It Off with Whipped Cream:
Pour your deliciously smooth, healthy peppermint hot chocolate into a cozy mug, and top it off with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Finishing Touch:
Here comes the magic! Add a drizzle of Seriously Delicious Essential Woman Chocolate Mint on top of the whipped cream. This luscious, nutrient-packed topping will add a creamy, minty-chocolate finish to your hot chocolate, because every sip should be as good for your body as it is for your taste buds.
