This Hormone Happy Hemp Milk Hot Chocolate Drink is SO GOOD. It’s delicious, mood boosting, can help balance hormones, and just feels like a big hug. I’m refreshing this post to the top today since I’ve tweaked the recipe. I’ve made it a more filling breakfast drink after fresh fruit when I want it for breakfast. I’ve added pumpkin seed protein powder to do the trick. If you want to skip the pumpkin seed protein powder though, it’s still a really nice filling snack packed with healthy fats.

Ingredient Spotlight:

Carob Powder (caffeine-free) or Cacao Powder – Carob powder is a cacao powder alternative that is caffeine-free, fat-free, contains great fiber, is good for digestion, and contains amazing antioxidants.

Cacao gives us feelings of love, energy, and happiness. It contains the chemical anandamide, which is the neurotransmitter responsible for these feel good feelings. It also contains a good amount of iron and magnesium which is another reason women reach for it during their cycle as it can make us feel better. Cacao is a stimulant and contains caffeine though. I alternate between the two depending on what I’m feeling.

Ashwaganda – A stress adaptogen that can help balance women’s hormones, calm adrenals, provide a mood boost, improve sleep, and of course lower stress. It has been my favorite adaptogen for years. I get a calming energy boost from it. It tastes bitter in powder form and is not good by itself.

Maca Root Powder – Maca increases energy, helps balance hormones, and increases libido. Tastes malt-like.

Hemp Hearts – Nutritional super seeds rich in both Omega 3 and Omega 6, protein (they contain all 20 amino acids including the 9 essential amino acids that our bodies do not produce), fiber, magnesium, potassium, & iron, and may help regulate women’s hormones (amongst more!). These seeds are what make this drink extra, rich, creamy, delicious, and filling.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup almond milk
1 tsp Organic Virgin Cold-Pressed coconut oil or small splash of coconut milk if you happen to have some open
2 tsp carob or cacao powder I do carob 99% of the time
1/2 tsp Ashwaganda powder
1 tsp Maca root powder
3 TBSP hemp hearts
1/4-1/2 tsp ceylon cinnamon I do 1/2 (Ceylon cinnamon is sweeter and more mild than regular cassia cinnamon)
small dash or grate of nutmeg
1 serving Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder
optional 1 soft Medjool date pitted – I don't use, but add if you want it sweeter

Method

Heat up almond milk in a small saucepan on the stovetop.
Add all of the ingredients to a high speed blender. Due to safety reason with blending hot liquid, only blend in a large blender. My small blender turned off right away due to the heat. I should have known better. BE CAREFUL when blending the hot liquid. Stop and vent the lid if needed. Blend until creamy. Pour in your favorite mug, put everything aside for the moment, and savor the goodness.
