Saying goodbye to Summer is not always a farewell forever. It may just be a farewell for now. While I’m truly going to miss Summer, it’s Fall. And to deny Fall is to deny a part of us or a part of the Universe. We must surrender, and accept that it’s time to move forward and ever-evolve. Everything in this Universe is ever-evolving.
Fall things to be EXCITED about:
- These TWO healthy Superfood Hot Cocoa recipes!!
- Cinnamon and Nutmeg (Nutmeg happens to be in these recipes!)
- Cozy flannel P.J.’s
- All kinds of delicious apples baked, sauteed and raw
- Crisp air and that Fall smell
- Pumpkin everything
- Halloween
- And did I mention these two Superfood Hot Cocoa recipes??!
While Summer can be a “state of mind”, don’t forget to accept the present and accept where you are right now, the season included! Say farewell to the old and continue on your road, preferably with one of these hot cocoa recipes in hand. : )
You may be wondering why all the superfoods and then use Hershey powder? It’s a long story, but in a nutshell, Hershey’s is certified gluten-free which makes me feel comforted and Celiac-safe. Also, I’m highly allergic to cockroaches, and guess what? In climates where Cacao is produced and grown, cockroaches live, and small amounts of their feces are allowed in the raw state of chocolate according to the FDA. While it’s in extremely small amounts, I end up on Benadryl. Since Cacao is cooked at a low heat to keep the nutrients intact, it also keeps my allergens intact and I react every time I eat it. So I use Hershey’s because it’s processed. It leaves the flavor, but not the nutrients. I guess it wasn’t such a long story. Ha!

- I used So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk for my choice of milk

I love a nice mug of hot chocolate. SO comforting and delicious, especially if the cacao or cocoa powder is of high-quality! I love making hot chocolate with cacao powder, almond milk or cashew milk, Stevia, and cinnamon!
Yum that sounds delish! I can’t touch nuts of any kind except coconut, black walnut herb, and shea. But that sounds delightful and I’m glad you enjoy plant-based fun! Are you in healing or a wellness junkie? Happy Sunday!
