Candida Diet Approved Hot Chocolate

The first three sparse weeks of the diet with no carbohydrates and no sugar, this recipe kept me sane.

Ingredients:
11/2 cup Non sweetened, plain almond milk
1/4 tsp Coconut oil
1/4 tsp Vanilla extract suspended in glycerin
Unsweetened cocoa powder to taste (about 1 Tblsp)
Xylitol to taste (about 2tsp)
Sprinkling Cinnamon

Directions:

Heat almond milk and coconut oil in pan until oil turns to liquid. Add cocoa powder and stir until well mixed. Add vanilla. Add xylitol a little at time until you reach desired sweetness. Add optional cinnamon. Heat to desired temperature.

* The coconut oil helps give this drink a creamy texture. Without it I felt like it was too "chalky".
