Peace, family!

It’s the first day of fall, and literally no one is more excited than your girl. This has been my favorite season since the very earliest memories of my life. Football, hoodies, state fairs, leaves, and cooler temps are all very near and dear to mi corazón. Something about the changing seasons always fills me with so much hope. It refreshes my mind, my love, my faith. It reminds me that whether good or bad, all things will pass. What better time to meditate and remain grounded and present? The crisp, cool fall air just rejuvenates my entire being.

Perhaps the greatest thing about this time of year is the seasonal food and beverages we get to enjoy. The scents of chili, soups, stews, ciders, and baked goods will soon fill our homes, offices, and favorite sidewalk cafes. Allow me to submit a low-carb, keto-friendly* fall beverage recipe into your autumn line-up. At 12 grams net carbs per serving, this Mexican hot chocolate is sure to please. It’s creamy and smooth, much like its traditional counterpart, but packs a spicy aftertaste that your palate will appreciate. If you’ve never had Mexican hot chocolate you’re in for a treat. It’s like the stuff in the blue box we all grew up drinking, but elevated. Don’t let the spices scare you; they blend well with the chocolate in the most magical way.  The hot chocolate alone is vegan-friendly, however I did top my beverage with my homemade keto-friendly whipped cream. If you’re vegan, you may try out some vegan alternatives to whipped cream, or go the DIY route with a heavy cream substitute. Try this recipe out ASAP and report back to let me know how you fared. This recipe is searchable in the MyFitnessPal app under AGirlcalledAdri’s Mexican Hot Chocolate.

Peace,

Adri

*Do not panic when you see that each serving has 36 grams of carbs. The ingredients in Swerve do not affect blood sugar, so the carbohydrates it contains are considered non-impact.


Need a topping? Here’s my keto-friendly homemade whipped cream recipe. It’s super easy and goes great with Mexican Hot Chocolate.
