Hot Chocolate With Maca and Tonic Herbs [Vegan]

Ingredients

• 8-ounces unsweetened coconut milk (we use So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk)
• 2 Tablespoons maple syrup or stevia to taste (a little goes a long way)
• 1 tablespoon maca powder
• 2 Tablespoons raw cacao powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch chili powder
• 1 dropper reishi extract (we make our own from wild-harvested reishi, but you can purchase from a company like Dragon Herbs)
• 1 capsule each Rhodiola and holy basil (I like Gaiam herbs for the flavor and potency. Open the capsules into the drink before serving)
• 2-4 Dandies vegan marshmallows to garnish each cup (optional)

Preparation

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a blender and heat in a saucepan before serving.
2. You can store the blended drink in your refrigerator and heat it as desired. It will keep nicely for a week or two. It is also delicious iced or as a base for a smoothie with a banana or two!
3. Because there is caffeine in the chocolate and maca is a very energizing substance, I do not recommend drinking this late at night.
