I know you may be a little skeptical about the ingredients.

Yes it does taste just like creamy, delicious hot chocolate. No, your kids won’t be able to tell the difference. And if they can you should enter them into some taste testing contest because they are definitely expert level.

This hot chocolate is full of healthy fats including grass fed butter and coconut oil.  And as a bonus if you add the optional collagen powder it has a protein boost and all the healing benefits of the collagen!
