Hot Cocoa with a Healthy Kick: The Bone Broth Secret

MARKET

Jan 21

Hot cocoa is a classic winter treat enjoyed by all ages. Bone broth, on the other hand, is a relatively new addition to the culinary scene, celebrated for its numerous health benefits. But what if you could combine these two into a deliciously comforting and healthy winter indulgence? Believe it or not, using bone broth instead of traditional milk to make hot chocolate creates a sweet and savory surprise that will delight your taste buds—and your doctor! Best of all, we’ve made it incredibly simple by offering the highest-quality bone broth and hot chocolate in our Market.

Why Use Bone Broth for Hot Chocolate?

Before we get to the recipe, let’s explore why bone broth is such a beneficial ingredient. At our Market, we carry Remedy Bone Broth from Nashville, known for its organic, high-protein content. Remedy’s "Just Chicken Bone Broth" provides 20 grams of protein per serving and contains only three ingredients: bone broth (made with pasture-raised chicken and Kangen water), organic apple cider vinegar, and sea salt.

Bone broth is believed to offer a wide range of health benefits, including:

Supporting digestive health
Strengthening the immune system
Improving joint, bone, and muscle health
Enhancing hair, skin, and nails
Promoting better sleep
Boosting brain function

While Remedy’s bone broth is renowned for its flavor, using it to make hot chocolate offers a creative and tasty way to incorporate these health benefits into your daily routine.

The Sweet and Savory Combination

Combining the rich, indulgent flavor of hot chocolate with the savory depth of bone broth results in a sweet-and-salty treat that is both unexpected and delightful. Prefer your hot chocolate on the sweeter side? You can easily customize the sweetness level by adding honey, maple syrup, stevia, or extra cocoa powder. Plus, the natural gelatin in bone broth lends the hot chocolate a velvety smooth texture you’re sure to love.

Choosing the Right Hot Chocolate

Not all hot chocolate is created equal, which is why we proudly carry Harth Hot Chocolate. Harth is a thick, Swiss-style hot chocolate made from organic, unalkalized cocoa powder. It’s rich, decadent, and even vegan-friendly.
