One word: Divine.

You want more words?  Okay…

Did you ever drink chocolate milk as a kid?  Maybe you had it each Saturday morning while you watched your favorite cartoons.  Maybe it was a special treat when you went to a friend’s or cousin’s house.  Maybe it was what you put in your Cheerio’s every morning, or had with lunch each afternoon.  For most people, chocolate milk holds a special place in our childhood, and it most often gets left there.

We grow up, we get lactose intolerant, we avoid sugar…and chocolate milk, like a lot of life’s pleasures, gets left in the past.

It doesn’t have to.  It can come back and can get elevated.  I can not have lactose, or white sugar and still satisfy your soul,  by bringing you back to a time when everything was simple and life was full of play.

Food memories are powerful triggers.  When life is getting heavy and you crave some safety and child-like wonder: chocolate milk.  Warm & Frothy Chocolate Hemp Milk, to be exact.

Warm & Frothy Chocolate Hemp Milk

Servings: 2 (or 1… if you’ve just started your period)
What you need: a high powered blender

• 2 cups warm water (or chai tea)
• 2 Medjool dates, pitted
• 2 tablespoons cacao powder
• 1/4 cup hulled hemp seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, only if using water as a base)
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg (optional, only if using water as a base)
• 1 pinch of sea salt

Put all ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until smoothe.  Enjoy it hot (which is heavenly) or put it in the fridge then drink cold.
