I recently created the smoothest, creamiest dairy, gluten and nut free hot chocolate for a homeschool party and wanted to share the deets here since I got so many comments on it in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I doubled this recipe:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4 cups of hot water⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1/2 cup of unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder (if not cacao, just make sure there are no other ingredients)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1/2 cup of refined sugar (could use coconut sugar)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1/4 tsp. gluten free vanilla⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1/4-1/2 cup of full fat canned coconut milk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I poured all of the ingredients into a Vitamin and blended until the powder mixed with the liquids and there were no powdery chunks and then poured it into my crockpot and heated on low for 4 hours! Top with coconut whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Perfect for a rainy day, party, or an afternoon at home with your kiddos watching Christmas movies!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌲Twelve Days of Beautycounter🌲
Day 8: Education/Mission
At Beautycounter, Pretty is Powerful.
As a certified B-Corporation, we are committed to using the power of business to help solve social and environmental problems, rather than focusing solely on profit as most traditional corporations do. The process to become a certified B-Corporation is rigorous, yet we have increased our score in each assessment, as we are constantly working to improve supplier engagement, employee well-being, and transparency in policies and practices.
Some of my favorite fellow B-Corporations (did you know the B stands for “benefit?!”) are Athleta, Seventh Generation, Ben & Jerry’s!
AND, our Beauty on a Mission team is committed to taking it a step further this Holiday season, using our personal businesses for GOOD, too! Last year, your clean beauty Holiday set purchases contributed to a year’s tuition for Sophia and Thakia to attend Africa New Life’s Dream Beauty Academy in Rwanda …and they’ve just graduated! THIS YEAR, your purchases are funding their business starter kits, and providing Christmas and graduation gifts for their entire class. What better gift than that of opportunity?! With the 20% savings from our Feel-Good Flash Sale extended through Friday, along with an additional 5% savings site-wide for those of you who shopped during the Clean Friday and Cyber Monday sales (Nov 22- Dec2), there are so many reasons to give clean beauty this year, and feel GOOD about it!
I really needed to see this quick little progress photo today. Since Halloween, it’s been hard to keep the sugar consumption to a minimum and some days it feels like all I’m doing is shoving candy bars in my face. While I do know, 80% of getting fit is found in the kitchen, I am grateful, in the absence of balanced eating, my gym time has remained a constant and these small improvements are proof of that! Small progress is still progress and I’m celebrating that tonight!!
