Mood Lifting Cacao Drink - Not your father's Hot Chocolate

Growing up Hot Chocolate was a fixture in my house - we drank a huge steaming mug nearly every night. What's not to like? A warming, satiating and activating drink that hits the sweet tooth. Of course then, I had no idea that what I was guzzling was loaded with chemicals that are a far cry from the heart medicine that is properly sourced and crafted chocolate and it's parent (mother?) cacao. For starters Before I get too deep into cacao below, it's important to note that this is a stimulate and postpartum mothers should be aware of this. Mamas - this is still plant medicine at its tastiest but watch the portion. Answering the sweet tooth in postpartum is important - at it's most basic level, it's a craving for something strengthening and fortifying. Additionally, it offers the highest amounts of antioxidants over any food in the world. Yes, read that last sentence again. More after the recipe because long ago, I swore I would not make you read lots of words before getting to the recipe! :)
