- This recipe tastes like Ovaltine, without any refined sugar and chemicals used in processed foods
- Unsweetened dark chocolate is pure and unadulterated, containing equal parts cocoa solids and cocoa butter
- Cacao powder is unrefined and rich in beneficial plant compounds, such as flavanol, an antioxidant that literally protects the heart. Avoid boiling on high heat for nutrient preservation
- Date sugar is a whole food containing fibre, preventing blood sugar spikes from refined sugar. An earthy and healthy sweetener

1/2 tsp cacao powder
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat a small pot over low heat, add milk.
2. Cut dark chocolate into 'shavings' by carving the edge of chocolate block, repeat until the entire piece is 'shaved'. Alternatively, use a grater.
