Collagen Hot Chocolate
This nourishing cacao drink is the perfect balance of indulgence and wellness! The combination of coconut or almond mylk with raw cacao and collagen creates a naturally chocolate-y yet gut-friendly treat.
Raw cacao contains antioxidants and magnesium, adding both depth of flavour and nutritional value. The collagen powder adds incredible health benefits by providing amino acids that help support gut lining health and act as building blocks for protein.
Lightly sweetened with honey and gently warmed, this cozy drink feels like a dessert while still offering ingredients that support overall gut health.
