There are many ways to make hot cocoa LCHF-style. You can make the egg latte with boiling water and cacao powder instead of coffee or you can make hot chocolate with heavy cream and water. Many options.
My favorite however, is a little different. First, it’s dairyfree, well, apart from butter which most people tolerate well, in my experience. It’s also made in a large portion and kept in a bottle in the fridge. I have a Nespresso milk steamer and I warm up my cacao drink directly from the fridge and I get the nicest drink with heavy froth. Liking it!!
I don’t believe in replacing real food with drinks full of butter but I do believe in finding better alternatives for the things you miss or crave.
