Paleo Hot Chocolate

Help make these chilly winter months more bearable and get cozy with a warm cup of hot chocolate. This simple recipe is vegan, paleo, and really delicious! Carob is a tropical pod that contains a sweet, edible pulp. It has a slightly different flavor and texture from cacao, but makes for a great chocolate substitute for those adopting the Paleo diet. Carob is low in fat, high in fibre, naturally sweet, but contains no caffeine.
