Alkaline Diet Recipe: Dairy Free Mayan Hot Chocolate

1 comment

Last time, I told you how to stop sugar cravings cold, and one of my favorite ways to do that is to go ahead and indulge your sweet tooth, the alkaline way.


It’s important that you don’t feel like you have to deprive yourself, especially during this time of year when we’re bombarded with sweets everywhere we go.

So give in to your cravings just a little with sweet alkaline recipes like this one. If you’ve never tried Mayan hot chocolate, it’s thicker and less sweet than the standard counterpart. This is the same alkaline hot chocolate recipe I make for me and my kids. It tastes very indulgent, but this version has no added sugar at all.

Dairy Free Mayan Alkaline Hot Chocolate

INGREDIENTS [Serves 2]

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup raw cacao
  • 1 heaping teaspoon of cinnamon
  • Optional: Dash of cayenne pepper
raw cacao beans used in this alkaline hot chocolate recipe

DIRECTIONS

  • Puree everything in a blender and then warm it on the stove (if you have a high-power blender like Vitamix, it can heat up the mixture and you may not have to warm on stove). Now you've made alkaline hot chocolate!

How This Alkaline Hot Chocolate Helps Reduce Cravings

One of the biggest benefits of this alkaline hot chocolate is how effectively it helps calm sugar cravings. Raw cacao contains natural compounds that support neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, giving you the feeling of comfort and satisfaction without needing sugar or acidic ingredients. When your body gets the minerals it needs — especially magnesium from cacao — your cravings naturally decrease. This makes it much easier to stay on track with an alkaline lifestyle, even when you want something warm, rich, and chocolatey.


Simple Ways to Customize Your Alkaline Hot Chocolate

This alkaline hot chocolate is incredibly versatile, and you can customize it based on your mood or nutritional needs. Add a pinch of cayenne for a true Mayan kick, or swirl in a teaspoon of coconut cream for extra richness. If you need more energy, blend it with a scoop of Daily Greens for a mineral boost or sprinkle cinnamon on top to help stabilize blood sugar. You can even add adaptogens like maca or ashwagandha for deeper hormone and stress support. This recipe is flexible enough to become your go-to warming drink all year long.


Why Kids Love This Alkaline Hot Chocolate (and Parents Do Too!)

This alkaline hot chocolate isn’t just a healthy alternative for adults — kids absolutely love it too. The rich, chocolaty flavor satisfies their sweet tooth without the sugar, dairy, and artificial ingredients that make traditional hot chocolate so acidic. Raw cacao delivers minerals that support focus, mood, and energy, while the dairy-free base keeps their digestion calm and happy. Parents love that this drink is warming, nourishing, and guilt-free — a cozy treat you can feel great about serving anytime.


This nourishing alkaline hot chocolate is the perfect way to enjoy a cozy, comforting treat while still supporting your energy, mood, and alkalinity. With raw cacao, warming spices, and a clean, dairy-free base, each sip gives your body minerals, antioxidants, and deep nourishment — without the acidity or sugar crash of traditional hot chocolate.
