delicious, nourishing hot chocolate mix with powerhouse ingredients for wellness and healing
this hot chocolate is SO GOOD.
it tastes rich, creamy, and delicious and it has so many healing benefits. it's a wonderful nourishing drink all winter long, and it's absolutely amazing for postpartum healing.
i crafted this drink mix in the last few weeks of my own pregnancy to be exactly what i would want to be nourished by in my postpartum weeks and it has since brought deep loving warmth to many a new mother in the days and weeks after birth.
here's what's in this blend:
ashwaghanda root is a stress reducing, calming adaptogen that helps with restful sleep, increases nutrient absorption, reduces inflammation and swelling, and brings warming, iron rich nutrients. it also helps with hormone balancing.
marshmallow root soothes mucus membranes and has a special affinity for reproductive tissues, and supports a healthy milk supply. it helps with skin repair and smooths digestion, bringing moisture and balance. supports immune function.
reishi also encourages stress reduction, supports healthy sleep, regulates anxiety and brings calm, reduces inflammation and boosts the immune system, helps regulate blood pressure and glucose and balances hormones.
lion's mane supports bone health and milk production, prevents depression and anxiety, improves brain function and clarity, and is rich in vitamin d and b vitamins and calcium.
raw cacao is rich in oxytocin, can help boost milk production, elevate mood and is super rich in antioxidants and iron, magnesium and calcium - all of which are super important for replenishment in the postpartum weeks.
collagen supports elasticity, sleep and hormone balance and encourages smooth digestion and healthy gut microbiome. it is a powerhouse after birth for repair and nourishment of healing tissues in the rapid physical changes occuring in the immediate postpartum.
coconut sugar is added for a little touch of maply, warm sweetness.
it's so easy to make - just heat up a mug of your favorite milk and add 1-2 tablespoons of herbal hot chocolate mix. whisk and enjoy! for an extra boost of nourishing postpartum fats, you can add a tablespoon of coconut oil or ghee and blend with a milk frother to combine.
