It’s pure happiness! This decadent, dairy-free chocolate and hazelnut hot chocolate is 100 % vegan and delicious. Ultra creamy thanks to the hazelnut butter and the fact that we whip it, it comforts the soul on a cool evening and starts our mornings in good spirits!
Hazelnut butter?
Yes, 100 hazelnut butter! This is is a must! Personally, I love Prana’s. Other brands can be found in grocery stores, in the natural nut butter section.
Guilt-free decadence
It is decadent because it is sublime, creamy and caloric. But it contains good calories! Excellent natural fats! No palm oil or other shady ingredients. So he’s satiating. It’s up to you to reduce its sugar content. The recipe provides 30 ml of maple syrup.
A hot chocolate that provides 23 grams of good natural fats and 6 grams of protein is a must try!
The Importance of Good Fats
Hazelnuts contain monounsaturated fats and are among the nuts that improve cholesterol levels in the blood.
Fat is essential to our health. They provide essential calories and fats that help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins from complexes A, D, E and K. The quality of the fats we consume is fundamental: unsaturated fats such as those found in most nuts, vegetable oil and avocados.
We want more good cholesterol (HDL) and a minimum of bad cholesterol (LDL)! This is what impacts our cardiovascular health. Find out more about it on the Heart and Strokewebsite.
