This baby is my afternoon indulgence and is super simple to make at home!

The Mix
1 1/2 tsp Cacao Powder
1/2 tsp Beetroot powder
1/4 tsp Vanilla bean paste
1/2 tsp Honey (to sweeten if desired...I do)

Mix together until dissolved in approx. 60mls of hot water and then top up with frothy hot milk!
Makes 1 cup
It's just like a cafe version. Go ahead and play with the proportions x

Suggestions:
Add a sprinkle of Cinnamon, Ginger or Cardamon to spice things up. Play with the combos until you get your favourite :)

Good for:

Cacao is good for Calcium, Iron, B vitamins, Magnesium, resveratrol, flavonoids, serotonin, tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylethylamine. All great at uplifting your mood with a feel good feeling!
Beetroot powder is a good source of Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, phosphorus, silica, B6 and folate and many other antioxidants. Great for your brain, circulation, liver, blood and cardiovascular health.
Local Honey is good for helping your immune system adjust to the pollens in your area before spring as a gentle exposure.

I hope you find inspiration from my blog posts. I'm trying to get more regular with posts... since I'm more or less a perfectionist I find when publishing literature it takes me a while to analysis my references and not get distracted by finding more amazing publications on other topics along the way haha.
