Hello & Happy Tuesday!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would you believe me if I said..

that I have a list of upwards of 100 recipes that I want to try? lol

 

Out of all of those, I’ve been meaning to make this vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate! While it’s so easy to  just pick something up from a coffee shop, I promise, making your own drinks is so quick and easy and a million times better than anything you’ll find at a Starbucks!

Funny story, I’ve lived above a Starbucks for the last 12 years in 2 different states lol. You can only imagine how many beverages I’ve tried over the years and I say with the utmost confidence.. this drink is better than anything I’ve ever had there! 

 

 

 

So what constitutes a Mexican hot chocolate? 

 

Many state it’s the chocolate being from Mexico, but if you’re taking a more modern approach.. it’s all about deriving spice from cinnamon and a little cayenne! Whatever your approach, this concept is a true win win!

 

 

 

 

What’s great about this recipe? It’s quick, easy, perfect for fall/winter, can easily be made in bulk, perfect for entertaining, you could make it an adult beverage if desired, sugar free, creamy, packs a rich chocolate flavor, cinnamon, a hint of heat from the cayenne, and my favorite.. the little bit of salt that ties it all in together! 

 

If you’re all about a homemade winter drink, you have to try this new vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate!
