Creamy Dairy-free Hot Chocolate (Paleo with AIP option)

December 15, 2015 by Marissa Franklin Leave a Comment

 

Pinterest Creamy Dairy Free Hot Chocolate 1Friends don’t let friends drink packaged hot cocoa.

I have always been a serious fan of hot chocolate. This creamy dairy-free hot chocolate is no exception. The neighborhood Starbucks and I were greatly acquainted back in the day when I was hooked on my daily hot chocolate. One of the things I miss the most is dairy and this version is out of this world creamy and ultra rich. Seriously guys, it’s decadent.

Add on those extra marshmallow and pop in a christmas movie you’ll be on cloud nine, at least, I was! This hot cocoa is naturally sweetened with dates and the depth of flavor is incredible. You have my word friends, this is delicious and simple to make. So make it for your family and friends this holiday season and beyond, because as I said before, friends don’t let friends drink packaged hot cocoa.

This recipe can be made either Paleo or AIP and is delicious both ways! I should know, I recipe tested both of them 😉

First, gather your 4 ingredients and prepare the marshmallows in advance if you want them.

AIP Frozen Hot “Chocolate”

May 22, 2015 by Marissa Franklin 6 Comments

I have never been to New York, however, I have heard all about Serendipity’s famous frozen hot chocolate. I am someone who always enjoys cold beverages no matter the time of year. However, as summer approaches, this drink is just perfect! It can be made with either tigernut milk or coconut milk making it a win-win in my book and it utilizes your choice of either ghee or coconut oil. The ghee is awesome if you are able to tolerate it but both ways are delicious! Note: Ghee is a stage 1 AIP reintroduction.

 Sipping on this as we enter into this holiday weekend. It’s a caffeine free alternative to kombucha that still has all the gut health goodness that I know my body needs. We went to a toddler art class this morning where Landon sifted sand again and again and again. He would pick up the spoon and carefully put it into the little bowls and was so focused. All that mattered in that moment was the sand and the cup and the spoon. I want to be that immersed in the moment more and more. I find myself so often jumping from one thing to the next in order to get it all done. When in reality...what I really need right now and ESPECIALLY in this season is to slowww down. Anyone else? ‍♀️ #motherhood #realfood #christmas #paleo #jerf #allergyfriendly #foodwinewomen  Beautiful boxes you guys! If you didn’t catch my live, you can watch the replay still and see the Beautycounter Holiday collection in all of its glory. 21 new sets all priced under $100 with gorgeous color payoff and packaged beautifully so you don’t have to worry about anything! • If you are not on my newsletter list and want in on the member only pre-sale and a special surprise then go to the link in my profile and sign up ASAP! • a gift for everyone ( or keep it for yourself!  ) #saferskincare #holiday #betterbeauty #cleanliving  Sometimes you just need that loaded salad!

Dinner tonight was plantain chicken, garlic broccoli, and lemon kale  #realfood #paleo
