Healthy Kiss of Honey Strawberry Hot Chocolate

Oh, and something else to adore – instead of fake flavorings, peculiar preservatives and corn syrup sweeteners found in many hot chocolate mixes, this made-from-scratch recipe uses fat-free milk (for the best frothing!), real strawberries and just a touch of added sweetness from Nektar Honey Crystals.

Can you believe this recipe makes it’s own whipped cream?! Well, not really cream, but the air that gets whipped up while blending makes a nice creamy top that is dense enough to hold sprinkles or colored sugar! I don’t really know the science behind it, but fat-free milk works the best for creating foam in the blender or with a frother. If you don’t do dairy, you can swap out for almond, coconut or cashew milk and still end up with a delicious drink.

Kiss of Honey Strawberry Hot Chocolate

Kiss of Honey Strawberry Hot Chocolate (serves 1)

  • 8 ounces fat-free (skim) milk
  • 2 to 3 large strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 ounce quality white chocolate, broken into bits
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon Nektar Honey Crystals (depending on sweetness preference)
  • Garnish: colored sugar or sprinkles, if desired

To make, place milk and strawberries in a blender.  Blend together for approximately 45 seconds until strawberries are incorporated and froth areating up on top (strangely enough, skim milk works much better than higher fat milks).

Place blended mixture into small saucepan along with honey crystals and white chocolate.  Heat over medium-low heat, stirring gently until white chocolate is melted and drink is heated through. Pour into 12-ounce mug, top with colored sugar or spinkles if desired.

  3. My favorite hot beverage is licorice and peppermint tea and I love putting honey in it for sweetener.

  4. My favorite hot beverage is coffee, no I do not put honey in it. But I do put honey in my hot tea.

  5. If I can only pick one that I would say a vanilla latte, or basically any coffee drink. I also love tea which I do put honey in.
    My girls love strawberry milk when I make it and raspberry hot cacao or steamers but I can’t believe I never thought of strawberry hot cacaos! Sounds delicious!

  6. Hot chocolate is the only warm beverage I drink. My wife drinks hot tea, and these would be great for that.

  7. These look wonderful! It would be a perfect solution for a touch of sweet on the go! They would also be perfect for my homegrown herbal teas, especially the mint/ chamomile/ red clover mix.
    Your cocoa looks divine as well, my boys will be getting a special Valentine treat after our outdoor Alaskan adventure this weekend!! Thanks!

  8. My favorite hot beverage is hot chocolate. I’ve never put honey in it but I don’t think it would be a bad combo.
