If you are a hot chocolate fan, try this anti-aging, antioxidant-rich hot chocolate!
What makes this hot chocolate anti-aging, and why do you want it? What you add to this cozy, winter favorite beverage is in the details. You’ll want to drink this yummy hot cocoa regularly because it tastes SO good, and to reap the anti-aging benefits.
But please note, that by using the term anti-aging, I’m not implying that aging is bad. Because aging is a wonderful, beautiful, natural thing. Also, aging gracefully, nourishing our bodies, and reducing the signs of premature aging is a common goal for many women.
Ingredients
Collagen Powder
If you are on your anti-aging road to discovery, you’ve heard the word collagen thrown around a time or two. Collagen is an important, powerful, building block when it comes to staying and looking youthful. As we age, we lose collagen, which keeps skin smooth and glowing. Collagen is also a great source of protein that is good for our bones.
Here are some more facts about collagen:
- Skin health: enhances elasticity, strengthens and hydrates skin
- joint health: relieves pain in joints
- improves good gut health
- helps build muscle mass
- preventative against bone loss which is important as we age
- strengthens hair and nails
- improves brain
- promotes heart health

Chocolate!
Chocolate lovers unite! One of our Earth’s finest, most luxurious foods; is organic Cacao powder. Although you may think I’m lying, it’s also very beneficial to your health! What, chocolate is good for you?
YES! I swear, it really is!
But, not all chocolate, or cacao powder, falls into the same category. Moreover, bad-quality cacao powder can be bitter and lack important nutrients. So really these are the four things that make organic, quality cacao powder so good for you:
- Antioxidant flavanols
- Fiber rich
- Magnesium
- Vitamin C

It’s time for the sweet stuff. There are many different sweeteners you can choose from. I try to choose something more on the natural, less processed side. My favorites are: You only need about 1-tablespoon of any of these options.
