Yes, You Won’t Loath Bone Broth Anymore!

I have been making hot chocolate for a decade and never thought of enjoying it in this nutritional and delicious way. Well, it’s not wrong to say that I always loathed bone broth (I know it may not be true in your case). I visited my nutritionist, and she recommended that I add collagen to my daily diet. She told me to add collagen-rich foods like bone broth, fish, eggs, greens, and citrus to my diet. I was aware of my loathsome for bone broth and totally knew the fact that bone broths are so rich in collagen. I decided to take it as medicine even though I don’t like the taste, and was on my way to find the best possible drinks that I can enjoy bone broth without getting the actual taste. So, I came up with bone broth added to my hot chocolate, and it was perfect for my taste buds. I am adding some collagen powder, but that’s totally optional for you.

I was looking to cut refined sugar in my diet, so I added maple syrup with some vanilla extract to mask the flavor of bone broth. Luckily, it worked! Although floating marshmallow peaks on this drink are optional, they always catch my kid’s attention, and now my whole family loves it a lot.

Ingredients

Instructions

Mix The Ingredients: Put milk, bone broth, maple syrup, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Stir all these bone broth hot cocoa ingredients together.
Heat for a Few Minutes: Once the unsweetened cocoa incorporates well, forming a smooth liquid, turn the heat to medium-low. Cook it for about 5-6 minutes, or until it starts steaming and bubbling, stirring continuously.
Blend For Frothiness: Blend the hot cocoa for an extra frothy and velvety texture, but that is totally optional. Once it is ready to drink, optionally mix a scoop of collagen.
Optional Toppings: I like to add marshmallows with shaved chocolate. To make it extra memorable, add extra toppings like whipped cream, chocolate chips, cinnamon dust, or caramel!

Notes

Heat Slowly: Heat hot chocolate with bone broth slowly while stirring occasionally ensure a silky texture. Never let it boil to keep it warm without losing the richness.
Mix Cocoa in Liquid: To simplify the recipe, mix the cocoa powder in water or milk instead of adding it directly to hot chocolate. This will help the cocoa powder dissolve more smoothly without making lumps.
Adjust Sweetness: Different cocoa powders may taste different. If you are using any different cocoa powder, adjust the sweetness accordingly by gradually adding maple syrup or honey.
Make It Frothy: Whisk or froth the warm hot chocolate before serving for a bubbly, smooth texture. You can also blend it warm to get the frothy texture.
Make the Serving Mugs Warm: Serving them in a pre-warm cup helps them remain warm for longer. You can rinse the mug in hot water before adding this warm and cozy drink.
