My love for the holidays/winter is synonymous with my love for hot chocolate.
Legitimately, it is one of my favorite things about this season, as a warm, creamy, cozy cup of hot chocolate always brightens my spirits, even on the dreariest and darkest of winter days.
What doesn’t work for me and hot chocolate? Artificial sweeteners, too much sugar, dairy or additives that can have a negative impact on my gut, digestion, mood and blood sugar balance (all things directly tied to hormone balance).
