Medicinal Mushroom Hot Chocolate

If you haven't tried Superfoods Australia's Medicinal Mushroom hot chocolate yet you are missing out, it's delicious and creamy without all the sugar and milk products to feel guilty about.

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon Chaga extract powder or 7 Mushroom Extract Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Cacao
• 1 tablespoon MCT oil or coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon grassfed ghee or butter (ghee is best as it doesn't have the Casein).
• 1.5 cups of hot water or mylk/milk (enough so you can have more after the first cup wasn't enough).

Method:

Heat the water or milk on the stove and then add in the cacao, medicinal mushrooms, vanilla extract, cinnamon. Stir to mix and then tip the liquid into the blender.

Blend it all up with the MCT or coconut oil and butter and then add it to your favourite cup. Sprinkle some more hot chocolate or Cacao on top to finish it off.

Why add mushrooms to hot chocolate?

The earthy, slightly bitter notes of chaga and the 7 Mushroom Extract blend beautifully with rich cacao, so you get all the goodness without a mushroomy taste. Mushroom extracts are naturally rich in beta-glucans and antioxidants, and adaptogenic mushrooms have traditionally been used to support general wellbeing and help the body adapt to everyday stress. The fats from the MCT oil and ghee also help carry the fat-soluble compounds in the cacao and mushrooms, making every cup as nourishing as it is indulgent.

This is a favourite in our house and makes winter so much easier to handle.
