Golden Spice Keto Hot Cocoa

Considering I’m not a big turmeric fan I really liked this, made it today!

Glycine for that collagen glow, inulin for gut magic, and mesquite for that smoky-sweet depth without the spike. (under 5g net carbs/serving), cozy-warm, and packs fenugreek + turmeric for the anti-inflammatory tag-team (blood sugar steady + joint TLC). To mask turmeric’s earthiness, I amp the cocoa’s richness, a dash of cinnamon (natural piperine-like boost without the gut poke), and optional molasses for a little added minerals and sweetness. It’s not overly sweet—think subtle hug, not candy bar.

Ingredients (1 serving, ~250 cal, 4g net carbs)

¾ cup full-fat coconut milk (unsweetened; carton or canned—shake well)
¾ cup milk of choice (nut or dairy)
1 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
½ tsp turmeric powder (start here; up to 1 tsp for bold health kicks)
¼-½ tsp fenugreek powder (gentle intro—builds that absorption bubble with turmeric)
½ tsp inulin powder
½-1 tsp glycine crystals
¼-½ tsp cinnamon (masks + warms; optional pinch of ginger for zing)
Pinch of pink himalayan or other natural salt (enhances chocolate depth)
½ – 1 tsp sunflower lecithin powder – creates a great frothy drink when using a milk frother plus health benefits.
Optional: Pea sized amount of Shilajit (heated over 140F can damage some of the ingredients like fulvic acid)
Optional: ⅛-¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg (start low—it’s potent!)
Optional: ½ tsp blackstrap molasses (for iron + a whisper of caramel; skip for strict keto)
Optional: 1 piece (1-2tbsp) cacao butter (adds extra creaminess and good fats)
Optional: 1 tsp mesquite powder or lucuma powder (low carb sweetness)
Optional: ¼-½ tsp Proline (works with glycine for collagen production)
Optional: Stevia or monk fruit drops to taste (if it needs a nudge—probably won’t)

Steps (5 min bliss)

In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk liquids, and other ingredients together. Warm gently (don’t boil—keep it silky).
Stir 2-3 min till frothy and dissolved (turmeric melts in easy; fenugreek adds subtle maple undertone).
Off heat, taste—drizzle molasses if craving that edge. Froth with a whisk or milk frother for luxe foam.
Pour into mug, sip slow by the fire. (Double for sharing, or cold-brew overnight for iced twists.)

This bad boy hydrates with coconut fats, curbs cravings via cocoa’s theobromine, and lets the spices shine without overpowering—turmeric fades into a golden whisper behind the chocolate veil. Net win for winter wellness. Adjust amounts to taste, I am always tweaking recipes.
