Healthy Hot Cocoa

Healthy Hot Cocoa - Food for Balance: Nervous-System-Calming

A cozy cup that actually regulates instead of dysregulates.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk

• 1 tbsp cocoa powder

• 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup

• ½ tsp cinnamon (blood sugar support)

• ¼ tsp magnesium powder (calming)

• Optional: 1 scoop collagen for protein

Instructions

• Warm milk on stovetop until steamy.

• Whisk in cocoa, cinnamon, and magnesium.

• Add sweetener and collagen if using.

• Sip slowly like you’re in a Hallmark movie with no real responsibilities.

Why it helps:

Magnesium + cocoa + warm liquids activate the parasympathetic nervous system and help downshift cortisol.
