The Perfect DF Hot Cocoa (AIP)

Since starting the Autoimmune Paleo journey, I've struggled with giving up coffee. I'd go a couple days without and then cave another day, grabbing that brightly colored Dunkin Donuts bag out of the cupboard. I think I've finally found the perfect hot drink substitute, minus your herbal tea options. This one gives you a hot drink AND chocolate fix at the same time!

Sorry, no pictures.

Perfect Hot Cocoa (AIP option)

10 oz coconut milk (or almond)
1 1/2 tbsp carob powder (or cocoa)
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 tsp Great Lakes gelatin (optional)
2 pinches of pink salt

Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan and whisk to incorporate. Heat to desired temperature. Whisk again, vigorously, so you get some bubbles on top. :) Enjoy!
