    Frozen Hot Cocoa. North Pole Style.


    Even if gentle snowflakes are silently falling outside your window. Or a brisk cool chill nips at your nose when you step outside. Inside, you may have a hum of warmth and light. Twinkly lights and a crackling fireplace, or even a cozy giant sweater and fuzzy socks to bundle up in. Sometimes, yes, sometimes, you may crave a cool treat even during these winter months. So here is how I whip up my favorite vegan Frozen Hot Cocoa, North Pole Style..

    This is an easy recipe everyone. But one that is fun for anyone in a hot cocoa mood, minus the hot. Whip up a frozen banana-based shake with accents of cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne and loads of rich cocoa, swirl some non-dairy whip on top, add a few slices of banana on top for some bite and call it a frozen hot chocolate. Santa would approve!

    I added a few optional ingredients too to change things up, try almond butter, hemp seeds or even crunchy pecans! ..Some toasted pecans sprinkled on top would be super dreamy!

    Protein Boost it.
    You could even add a scoop of protein powder and serve this “hot cocoa” any time of day as a hearty snack or meal replacement. Hot cocoa for breakfast or a post-workout sip!

    whip on top..

    Cool and cozy. Like..
