This dairy-free hot cocoa is an easy sweet drink to make on a cold night. For dairy-free milk I like to use coconut milk without additives or added sweetener (I like this brand). You can adjust the honey depending on your preference. You will need an immersion blender to sufficiently blend the coconut oil with the liquid and to get the foam at the top.

This Vegan Hot Chocolate Is Creamy And Delicious!

Metabolism boost?

You’re probably wondering what I mean when I say that this hot cocoa has a metabolic boost. The boost is coconut oil! Coconut oil is a great way to increase your metabolic rate. Studies have shown that it can raise metabolism thus aiding in weight loss.
