Bone Broth Hot Chocolate

Bone Broth Hot Chocolate: A Cozy, Nourishing Twist on a Classic Winter Drink

If you love a warm mug of hot chocolate but wish it came with a little more nourishment, this bone broth hot chocolate recipe is about to become your new winter ritual. It’s rich, velvety, deeply comforting—and secretly packed with protein, minerals, and skin-loving amino acids thanks to the addition of bone broth powder.

Don’t worry: you won’t taste the bone broth. In fact, the cocoa (or carob), cacao butter, and natural sweeteners blend seamlessly to create a decadent sipping chocolate that feels indulgent while supporting digestion, immunity, and steady energy. It’s the perfect functional comfort drink for cold mornings, slow afternoons, or evenings by the fire.

Why Bone Broth Hot Chocolate Works

Bone broth powder brings collagen, amino acids, and electrolytes—all of which help support gut health, joints, and recovery. By blending it into a creamy hot chocolate, you get:

Steady satisfaction thanks to protein + healthy fats

A smoother, richer texture

More nourishment without any extra effort

A cozy drink that actually fuels you

Whether you use dairy milk or your favorite alternative (almond, coconut, soy), this drink adapts beautifully.

The Nourishment

Ingredients (Makes 1 serving)

• 12 oz milk or milk alternative (A2 dairy, almond, coconut—all work!)

• 1 scoop bone broth powder 

• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or carob powder

• 2 teaspoons maple syrup, honey, or sucanat

• 3 cacao butter wafers

The Art

1. Warm the milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat your milk of choice over medium-low heat. Don’t boil—just warm until steaming.

2. Whisk in the dry ingredients: Add the cocoa or carob powder, bone broth powder, and your sweetener. Use a handheld frother to immediately and continuously mix until smooth and fully dissolved so it doesn't clump.

3. Add the cacao butter: Stir in the cacao butter and continue warming for another minute or two until it melts completely, creating a luxurious, silky texture.

4. Blend for extra creaminess (optional but amazing): Use the handheld frother directly in your mug for extra foam.

5. Pour and enjoy: Serve hot in your favorite cozy mug—preferably while curled up by the fire.

Tips & Variations

For even more nourishment: add mushroom powder like reishi for extra adrenal support.

For extra flavor: add cinnamon, nutmeg, or a drop of peppermint extract.

For richer chocolate: use a chocolate flavored bone broth and/or mushroom powder.

For immune support: add a pinch of ginger or turmeric.

For creaminess without dairy: use full fat coconut milk.
