Healthier Hot Cocoa
Are you still drinking Swiss Miss? STOP RIGHT NOW! 👎🏻 THEIRS is filled with a laundry list of hard to pronounce “ingredients” and additives. 👍 OURS takes a few minutes to make and is made with 5 simple ingredients. 🧋 Whenever my kids want chocolate milk, we follow this exact recipe but chill it (and often send it to school!). Even the boxed organic chocolate milks contain gellan gum and “natural flavors” that aren’t so natural after all. Making yours homemade not only tastes better but is better for you, too!
