Hot Cocoa


This vegan hot cocoa or chocolate milk recipe is made with simple ingredients.


I made mine with hemp seeds and water. The boiled hot water in the recipe make everything smooth and when its poured into the mug you get a nice froth. You can use carob to substitute the cocoa powder and the sweetener is up to you as well. Some better cane sugar alternatives are agave, date sugar, 100% maple syrup (dark), maple crystals and coconut sugar.

  • 1 cup spring water
  • 1 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. hemp seeds (hulled, hemp hearts)

  • 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. allspice powder
  • 1/4 tsp. sea moss (optional)
  • pinch of clove
