There are many hot chocolate mixes on the market that are heavily laden with sugars and ingredients that health-conscious consumers aim to steer clear of, but eatingEVOLVED's five-ingredient paleo hot chocolate takes a different approach. The protein-packed Hot Chocolate + Collagen product is made with just all-organic cacao, coconut sugar, cacao powder and cacao butter, plus grass-fed collagen from Vital Proteins. As such, the hot chocolate mix is free from gluten, dairy and soy.
The product is described as a lightly sweetened hot chocolate that has been taken "to the next level" with nutrients that are beneficial for one's hair, nails and skin.
As indulging in hot chocolate is a favorite ritual among consumers as the weather gets colder, this unique formula has the potential to provide warmth and comfort alongside other health benefits.
