Stay Warm with this Delicious and Nutritious Hot Chocolate Recipe...with Ghee!
During the winter, I'll warm up a teaspoon of ghee (described below) and almond milk with a cinnamon stick, turmeric and raw honey, a tsp of raw chocolate powder and some other spices. It has helped me stay warmer and more grounded. It is also highly satiating so it helps prevent the binging.
So, what is ghee? Ghee is clarified butter. It is very easy to make: just boil the butter and skim off the top. The problem is finding a high quality butter. The very best ghee I've been able to find by far is from Ancient Organics at www.ancientorganics.com/. I warn you that this isn't cheap, but I find this well worth the investment. I find it incredibly medicinal during the winter months. Many vegans even consume ghee because it doesn't contain the casein, the "bad" protein in milk. Ghee can be used as a substitute for butter.
Try it and let me know what your think.
