Healthy Beetroot Red Velvet Hot Cocoa to make all of your red velvet dreams come true!  Between its cocoa beet flavor, and sweet cocoa aroma, this hot beverage will have you coming back for more.  Made with superfoods like coconut, collagen, beetroot, and cacao, and only takes 5 minutes to make!  Dairy-free, allergy-friendly, and paleo.

Creamy, decadent, sweet, rich, flavorful.  That's how I would describe this creamy Healthy Beetroot Red Velvet Hot Cocoa.

With hints of beet for that nutritional punch, and gorgeous red velvet color!

Never overpowered by the beetroot, and just enough to make it taste like perfection.

I was once wary too, about beetroot powder.  Would it really taste like "red velvet hot cocoa"?   Or would it taste like beets.  And if it tasted like beets or overpowered beets, I wasn't going to like it.

I am here to report beetroot powder in hot cocoa tastes really good.

You think it's gonna be all beet and it's just the opposite.  You'll taste more chocolate and sweetness than a beet giving you that red velvet hot cocoa feeling.  But make no mistake, you'll taste the beet.  Besides color, beetroot is added for a reason.

Using beetroot powder plain would result in a bitter beverage.  It's all about the perfect amount of beetroot powder and the perfect amount of healthy sugar.  Using a healthy sugar alternative alongside beetroot makes the flavor sweet, naturally complimenting the cocoa.

This is also a really fun way to add superfood powders into your meals.  You get that great taste and nutrient-dense value in just a small amount plus a gorgeous color to brighten your day.
