Make a Magical Health-Boosting Hot Chocolate This Winter
Welcome to the 11th post of the Dutch Home and Living Christmas Advent Calendar blog series!
This week, we’re bringing you a delightful recipe to warm your heart and soul during this festive season: a luxurious hot chocolate made with Vivani chocolate. Perfect for cozying up by the fire, this rich and creamy beverage is enhanced with health-boosting additions for an extra special treat.
Ingredients You Will Need:
- 100g Vivani dark chocolate, chopped (the chocolate of you choice, with or without milk)
- 500ml milk (or a dairy-free alternative like oat or almond milk)
- 1 tablespoon Anima Mundi Adaptogenic Powder | 7 Medicinal Mushrooms + Cacao or Rasa Spicy Rose Cacao
- Whipped cream for topping
- Na’vi Organics Cacao Heavenly Cacao Drops for garnish and/or marshmallows
Why This Hot Chocolate is Special
Before we get into how to make this hot chocolate we want to let you in on why this hot chocolate is not just a treat for your taste buds but also a boost for your health. The combination of rich Vivani chocolate with adaptogenic powders offers both indulgence and wellness benefits, making it a perfect holiday drink. The addition of Na’vi Organics Cacao Drops adds a delightful crunch and enhances the overall chocolate experience.
Vivani chocolate stands out for its exceptional quality and commitment to sustainability. Sourced from small-scale cooperatives in the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Panama, Vivani uses premium organic Trinitario cocoa, known for its deep flavor.
The company ensures all its cocoa meets stringent organic, Fairtrade, or Rainforest Alliance standards, supporting sustainable farming practices that enhance soil health and biodiversity.
The Anima Mundi Adaptogenic Powder, containing 7 medicinal mushrooms and cacao, offers numerous health benefits. Adaptogenic mushrooms are known to support the body’s stress response, boost immunity, and enhance overall well-being. The addition of cacao provides antioxidants and may improve mood and cognitive function.
Rasa Spicy Rose Cacao brings a unique flavor profile to your hot chocolate. The combination of spices and rose with cacao not only creates a delightful taste but also offers potential anti-inflammatory and mood-enhancing properties.
Na’vi Organics Cacao Heavenly Cacao Drops are superior due to their use of fermented beans from Hispaniola. Fermentation enhances the flavor complexity of the cacao, resulting in a richer, more nuanced chocolate experience. These drops are likely to be less processed than conventional chocolate chips, preserving more of the cacao’s natural nutrients and antioxidants.

Instructions On How To Make It:
- Heat the Milk:Â In a saucepan, gently heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Melt the Chocolate:Â Add the chopped Vivani chocolate to the warm milk, stirring continuously until fully melted and smooth.
- Add The Health Boosters:Â Stir in the Anima Mundi Adaptogenic Powder or Rasa Spicy Rose Cacao for an added health kick. These ingredients not only enhance the flavor but also provide adaptogenic benefits that support well-being.
- Serve:Â Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Garnish: Sprinkle Na’vi Organics Cacao Heavenly Cacao Drops on top for an extra touch of chocolatey goodness or add some marshmallows
