It's one of those days when I'm really craving some chocolate (and it's nice on days like today when it's still a bit wintery cold outside with a fire going). I don't have any good chocolate around right now, which is probably a good thing, as I probably would have already ate it anyway. 😛 So I made some hot chocolate from cocoa with sugar that doesn't spike your body's blood sugar levels leaving you crashing later. And of course had to top it off with yummy coconut whipped cream! Coconut is one of the healthy versions if you're going to use an alternative type milk/cream. The others are so overprocessed and have so much sugar in them you might as well just eat a fully processed white bun and you'd get the same effect (almond/oat milk). Coconut milk supports the gut microbiome too!

My hot chocolate is cooling down, I better go drink it before my whipped cream melts totally into it too! I like to sip that off the top first!

How do you drink/eat your hot chocolate? 😃

oh ya, there's a little bottle of peppermint extract in the picture too! If you like the minty hot chocolate fad that comes out in winter, you could add some to yours! Just make sure you add it with your dry stuff and then add just a 1/4 of the water to make a paste-like mixture then when fully mixed, add the rest of your water. Enjoy!

The health of the environment and world around us is our responsibility to be healthy. We can't just put ourselves in a bubble and concern ourselves solely with our own health. We need to increase this bubble size to include the whole of our world. That means the rivers, lakes, oceans and all the land around them. We should NOT be poisoning anything. I get it, I've had rat problems. There are other ways to deal with rodents other than using poisons. Please be responsible and don't use poisons ever. Find other solutions.

Maybe I'll plant some of this. What are other good options you have for greens?

For my American friends. I'm not sure if petitions really work, but it gets the info out there. Glyphosate should not be used in a health conscious society.

Sign the petition to ban glyphosate: tinyurl.com/BanGlyphosateNow

A very disturbing, newly published scientific review brings together research that has found glyphosate causes intestinal and other damage linked to systemic diseases such as Crohns and Alzheimers. It's no wonder the incidence of these systemic diseases has reached epidemic proportion.

It has become nearly impossible to avoid foods that contain glyphosate. Eating clean is like a full-time job these days. (We feel your pain.) The time to ban glyphosate is NOW. Sign the petition to the EPA, telling them that the evidence of health harm is overwhelming. They must step up and BAN GLYPHOSATE.
