There's nothing quite like a warm mug of hot chocolate to bring you comfort on a chilly day - and this version comes with a nourishing twist! Made with creamy oat milk, antioxidant-rich cacao powder, and a calming addition of ashwagandha, it's both decadent and supportive for your wellbeing.

Together, they're a delicious combination that warms the body and the spirit. Ingredients: 1 cup of preferred milk (if non-dairy, oat milk makes for the creamiest hot cacao!) 2 tbsp of raw cacao powder 2 tsp of honey or maple syrup 1 tbsp of coconut oil (or MCT powder) 1 tbsp of collagen (optional) 1-2 capsules of Health First Ashwagandha Supreme, opened Directions: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients except for the Health First® Ashwagandha Supreme.

Add the contents of the opened Health First® Ashwagandha Supreme capsules into the blender. Discard the capsules. Blend on high until combined. Pour into your favourite mug, top with whipped cream if you're feeling fancy, and enjoy!
