Healthy Hot Chocolate (with Chocolate Collagen)
This healthy hot chocolate is naturally sweetened and made with just two ingredients: nut milk and chocolate collagen powder. It’s the perfect winter beverage to snuggle up with by the fire.
Do you find yourself frustrated with all the no-good ingredients that regular hot chocolate has? Ingredients like sugar, corn syrup, modified whey, hydrogenated coconut oil, nonfat milk, dipotassium, phosphate, and mono and diglycerides. Spoiler: Those ingredients are straight off the Swiss Miss ingredient label.
If you’re done compromising your health with this traditional wintertime drink, we have the perfect healthy alternative…
With a squeaky clean ingredient label, you’re getting grass-fed collagen peptides, natural flavor, cocoa powder, pink Himalayan sea salt, stevia, and monk fruit. All the good things, none of the bad.
This creamy chocolate collagen will make the switch from unhealthy hot chocolate to healthy hot chocolate totally worth it.
