Healthy JOYful Meals Series - Warm Chocolate Coconut Milk



Warm Chocolate Coconut Milk
Ever actually purchased a young coconut?
Go for it, and see the magic that is inside one of those beauties!

This rich, sweet, creamy drink makes a nice warm treat for the holidays! Alternatively you can use coconut milk and the fruit of a coconut.








Ingredients
1 young coconut
1 tsp agave nectar
2 cups of ice
1/4 cup of raw Cacao chips or dark chocolate chips



Open top of the coconut with a knife so that the juice can pour out and you can use a spoon to scoop out the coconut meat. Be careful and look up YouTube videos if this is your first time opening one.
Add both juice and meat into the blender with the cacao or dark chocolate chips, nectar and ice into the blender and blend.

You will need to blend this mix for a long time, as the chips will take it’s time breaking down.
Once done warm slightly in a pot on your stove top then pour into a cup and enjoy.

Top it off with whip cream and nutmeg and enJOY!

Don't get addicted to this most excellent drink, and you should know that it is a stimulate, with the natural caffeine from the cacao, beware serving this to the kids. You'll never want to stop off at your favorite coffee spot for another iced mocha!
Makes approximately 2 coconut chocolate drinks
