Recipe Notes

These are my recommendation for this recipe:
YUM! This looks delicious!
Yummmmm! This looks heavenly!
Oooh this drink has got me weak in the knees. Looks like the perfect comforting treat after a long day!
Oh my! I can’t wait to try this! So much goodness in one cup! I love all three of these.. cocao, turmeric (great for my sore joints) and maca! What a great recipe!
I’ve heard great things about maca powder but still haven’t had a chance to try it out yet–this hot chocolate would be perfect for tonight! It’s so cold!
I would never have thought to add maca or turmeric to my hot cocoa. Or black pepper either for that matter. Color me intrigued! I’m going to have to give this a try.
loveee hot chocolate and your version looks so decadent + healthy! i have never tried maca…
YUP. Making this stat – loooks ah-mazing!
This is a delicious recipe thank you for sharing! Quick question- I am confused about this being a serving size of 2 when only 1x 240 cups of milk go into it and the nutritional info per serving also refers to 1x cup. Is the serving size incorrect or the nutritional info chart, or the quantity in the recipe? Thanks again
Hi Lisa. Thanks for letting me know about this. Serving size is 1 cup. I just corrected the recipe. 🙂
