With the Autumn days rolling into Winter I'm getting in the mood for a hot chocolate! More to the point a client needed some delicious recipes for managing blood sugar levels and I decided a hot chocolate was the way to go!
Let me explain.
Raw Cacao powder supports glucose (sugar) uptake into the cell making it more user friendly so to speak. Along with this it also supports mood and insulin response (the hormone that carries glucose around to the organs and tissues of the body).
Cinnamon has long been known for its blood sugar management properties
Chromium from the molasses, black pepper and nut Mylk assists energy (glucose and lipid) metabolism, insulin function and regulation of blood sugar.
Ingredients:
Serves 1
1 Tbsp RAW cacao powder
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of Himalayan sea salt
1 grind of black pepper
1/2 tsp of organic molasses (use liquid stevia as a sugar free alternative)
1 cup of nut Mylk
Method:
In a saucepan on the stove, heat the nut Mylk, then add all the other ingredients. Stir to combine.
Simmer for 3-5 minutes.
For extra frothy goodness, pour the heated liquid into a blender and blend for 20 seconds.
Pour into a mug and enjoy!
Enjoy!
