The Top 13 Dairy-Free Vegan Hot Chocolate Mixes
If cocoa is your go-to hot beverage, we have good news for you! Not only is chocolate delicious, it’s amazing for your health. We’re not talking sugar and dairy-loaded chocolate candy bars—cocoa powder can open up coronary arteries, and contains powerful antioxidants that fight the free radicals in your body that lead to disease! On the other hand, milk chocolate contains just a third of these antioxidant properties, which are also greatly weakened by the presence of milk. So, if you’re looking to reap the true benefits of your afternoon cocoa, you’ll want to go for dairy-free hot chocolate!
That’s why we gathered a huge list of vegan hot cocoa mixes for you to enjoy whenever you get those irresistible cocoa cravings. Keep reading to find the one for you.
