A rich cozy glow-food drink from Natalie’s kitchen — dark chocolate, raw cacao, warming spices, and creamy coconut milk blended into the dreamiest healthier hot chocolate.

If you needed permission to drink more chocolate…this is it.

This dark hot chocolate feels incredibly rich and indulgent while still being made with ingredients that actually nourish your body beautifully from within.

Deep dark chocolate. Creamy coconut milk. Warming cinnamon. Real cacao.

Honestly it tastes like something you’d order at a cozy little café during the holidays while wearing the world’s softest sweater.

But without all the excess sugar and heaviness that usually comes with traditional hot chocolate.

And yes — the quality of your chocolate matters here.

The higher the cacao percentage, the richer the flavor and the greater the antioxidant benefits.

Why We Love It

Raw Cacao

Packed with antioxidants and minerals that help support skin health and protect against environmental stressors.

Dark Chocolate

Rich in polyphenols that help support glow, circulation, and overall skin vitality.

Coconut Milk

Adds richness and healthy fats that create that luscious creamy texture.

Cinnamon

Adds warmth and comforting flavor while making the drink feel extra cozy.

Lower Sugar

A more balanced hot chocolate option without relying heavily on processed sugars.

Cocoa vs Raw Cacao

Raw cacao is minimally processed and made by cold-pressing unroasted cacao beans, helping preserve more nutrients and enzymes.

Traditional cocoa powder is roasted at high temperatures, which can reduce some of its nutritional value.

Whenever possible, I love choosing raw cacao for recipes like this because the flavor feels deeper and the glow-food benefits are incredible.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup nut milk, oat milk, or hemp milk
• 2 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon cacao powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
• splash vanilla
• pinch Himalayan salt

Optional:

• whipped coconut cream
• cacao nibs
• extra cinnamon
• espresso shot

Directions

Add all ingredients to a small saucepan.

Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate melts and the mixture is hot and creamy.

Do not overheat or allow the chocolate to burn.

Pour into your favorite mug and serve warm.

Glow Note

I love recipes like this because they make nourishment feel cozy, comforting, and genuinely enjoyable.

Chocolate absolutely still has a place in a healthy lifestyle around here.

Especially when it’s this good.
