Special Notes:

There is a lot of variety in how you choose to make this.  Depending upon which ingredients you have access too and your body tolerates the best you can choose to make this recipe with unsweetened coconut, almond, flax or hemp milk.

If you do well with grass-fed dairy you can use organic grass-fed milk and heavy whipping cream.  However, there are many who have food sensitivities to dairy proteins so we made this recipe using unsweetened almond milk and coconut heavy whipping cream.

Dr Jockers Comments

I love drinking this creamy hot chocolate in the winter time.  It is low-carb, keto and fat burning and tastes delicious!  Try this out and I believe it will be a family favorite.

There are a lot of great health benefits to chocolate as it is rich in polyphenolic antioxidants and it boosts feel-good neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and endorphins.  Adding in chocolate with good fats found in coconut, almond or grass-fed dairy helps to promote fat burning and cognition.
