Coconut Hot Chocolate & Breakfast Ideas Mondays #10


To celebrate the 10th Week of Breakfast Ideas Mondays, I thought I'd share a recipe for a special treat that I make for The Husband and I every now and then, in place of our morning coffee with breakfast... Coconut Hot Chocolate.

The Coconut Hot Chocolate has no refined sugar in it, but DOES nourish with the goodness of coconut milk, milk and unsweetened baking cocoa. I find that 2 heaped teaspoons of cocoa for the two cups is chocolatey enough for us - if you like it darker, then by all means add more cocoa.

Coconut Hot Chocolate
1 Cup Coconut Milk
1 Cup Milk (feel free to substitute with milk of your choice)
2 heaped teaspoons Unsweetened Cocoa

1. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, milk and cocoa.
2. Heat over medium heat and bring up to the boil. Cook for about a minute to cook the cocoa and ensure it's fully dissolved.
3. Pour into mugs, allow to cool a little because they will be HOT straight from the stove.

I can't believe we are in the 10th Week of Breakfast Ideas Mondays! Where has the time gone? I have been loving all your YUMMY Breakfast Ideas and the family have enjoyed the Breakfast variety too.

Last week's party was no different. My favorites were:


Flaxseed Oat Bread from Recipes We Love - such a nutritious and super healthy bread, I love the inclusion of Flaxseeds as they are packed with healthy vitamins and Omega 3's - something all of my family could benefit from.
"Better Than Starbucks" Pumpkin Bread from Teaching Good Eaters - it's hard to go past a Pumpkin Bread Recipe and I love that it's would start the family's day off with a healthy serving of Pumpkin.


No Bake Energy Balls from Treat & Trick would be a perfect Breakfast on the Run. Love that they are sweetened with nutritious dates rather than sugar. A win-win in my book!

Each week I'll feature my favorite Breakfast Ideas from the previous week. Make sure you link back to this page.

Here's the Button for you to grab. Thanks in advance!
