Maca Hot Chocolate

As the weather is cooling down, I'm all about warming beverages. Anything that boosts my immune system is a plus! Maca is highly nutritious; perfect for this season of year and where we are in a pandemic and in need of an extra boost to keep us healthy. I love how this hot beverage offers the sweetness that you get from a dessert, but without being loaded with sugar AND the extra boost of nutrition the maca offers. Perfect way to warm up after a rainy walk or cozied up in front of a movie for date night at home.  This recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make too! Or make ahead and warm up as needed. Enjoy everyone!
