This sweet Mushroom Hot Cocoa has added health benefits from mushroom powder, but you would never know it!
Recently, I have been adding performance mushroom powder to my morning coffee. You can't taste it at all, and I love the health benefits it adds.
So I thought I would create a hot cocoa recipe using mushrooms. You would never know there's mushroom powder in it.
This vegan hot cocoa tastes like any other, but with the added benefits of mushrooms.

I'm accumulating these ingredients to try this recipe or small variation on it. Can you confirm that you really meant 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract? That seems super high to me.

You're right, thanks Kris! It was supposed to be 1 teaspoon. I miswrote it when I transferred it from paper to computer.
