SLURP | RAW HOT CACAO TONIC

SLURP | RAW HOT CACAO TONIC

Hai! 

I am sitting here after a wonderful and v chill Sunday morning and early afternoon. 

I started this new thing where I show up to Trader Joe’s BEFORE they open, or at least, right when they open, so I can have a parking spot (so much easier to drive to the grocery store than it is to walk, esp in the cold) and be able to pick up what I want instead of having it be out of stock cause everyone and their mother is at TJ’s. 

Let me just say, it was v nice to get my grocery shopping done first thing in the morning. I slept in, bought food for the week, read + ate breaky, meal prepped, picked out outfits/put laundry way, worked out, did a whole face mask routine, made lunch, and chilled. I will eventually study… 

But before I do, I wanted to share my fav hot cacao tonic I have been making for the last couple of months after I perfected the recipe. 

This is the best way to chill after a long day, or even a better way to start your morning! 

It is dairy-free, sugar-free, and full of yum! You can customize it however you like - but this is my preferred method :

Well there you have it! My homemade version of a basic hot chocolate. I have been wanting a sugar-free version, and I experimented with this tonic for a while. But I am v happy with this, and basically make it at least once a day :) 

Hope you enjoy!
