(Easy Peasy & Vegan) Hot Chocolate

Here's a vegan spin on one of my childhood favorites! This is super easy to Vegan-ize... just sub your regular (cow's) milk for a plant based milk, and use your normal Hershey's products (syrup or powder- they're vegan- surprise!!) for the chocolate component. See my blog on Our Vegan Journey about how this is possible... and check out Peta's "Accidentally Vegan" for a list of naturally vegan foods that you can find in any grocery store. 
OMG, so yummy!! (Hershey's Chocolate Syrup, Coconut and Soy Milk)
Unsweetened Silk (no added sugar- bonus!) and my mixing apparati! 

(Easy Peasy & Vegan) Hot Chocolate
Prep time: 2-3 minutes
Cook time: 2-3 minutes
Serves: 1

Ingredients:
3/4 cup soymilk (used for it's rich, nutty flavor)
3/4 cup Coconut milk (used for it's creaminess!)
2 Tbsp Hershey's Chocolate syrup

Ittttttt's Vegan!
Yummy coconut milk!


Preparation:
Super easy! Put all ingredients in a microwave-safe mug, stir, and microwave on high until steaming (about 2 1/2 minutes). Enjoy!!


I was so thrilled to discover that Hershey's Syrup is Vegan!! It still should be used in moderation as it has no real nutrition to speak of (anti-oxidants??). Also, we are attempting to eat a plant-based diet (not a junk food based one..), but this was a nice treat. I love me some chocolate!!!



Happy eating!
