As the weather turns frigid, there’s nothing quite like the embrace of a warm comforting beverage. Among the whole beguiling array of cozy options, one stands out as the undisputed, quintessential hug-in-a-mug for all ages: hot chocolate. Rich, creamy, and sweetly nostalgic, hot chocolate both warms up invigorating outdoor winter fun and offers an irresistible invitation to curl up with a soft blanket and a good book. Whichever appeals more to you, enjoy the glow. With this simple Spiced Turmeric Hot Chocolate, you’ll feel it from the inside out.

Good news, hot chocolate can be healthy without compromising an iota on the delectably indulgent taste. Unsweetened cacao powder, plant milk, and our ORGANIC INDIA Spiced Turmeric Latte  blend together about as quickly and easily as a packet mix and water with results that are so much tastier and nourishing, too. Here, we opt to sweeten with a plump Medjool date or two per serving, adding some fiber, potassium, and a complex whole food sweetness that prevents the spikes and crashes associated with refined sugar. If you’d prefer to skip the blender, feel free to go with pure maple syrup, date paste or syrup, or another sweetener to taste instead. Our ORGANIC INDIA Spiced Turmeric Latte mix lends a subtle sweetness itself, allowing for less added sugar for delectable sweetness that lets the warming cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom blend shine.

Our luscious Spiced Turmeric Latte mix features only Organic Certified spices, lovingly grown with zero pesticides or chemicals. The satisfying flavor, featuring subtle caramel notes and deeply warm spices, is delicious mixed into warm milk or water on its own. Combined with cacao powder and dates, it’s bliss that conjures up the joys of childhood. Best of all, tucked into that feel-good frothiness is true wellness support, not least the potency of soothing turmeric, known for supporting healthy mobility and more.* With all the goodness couched in, this soothing elixir is well worth enjoying, any time of day.
