Ingredients you'll need:

    1. Cacao Powder

    1. Joolies Date Syrup 
    1. Dairy-Free Milk
      • We went with a yummy coconut milk for this one, but use whatever floats your boat! There's oat, almond, macadamia, or other blends that work just the same.

Optional add-ins:

    1. Cinnamon
      • For a little extra something, add a dash or two of cinnamon. This is especially wonderful during the holiday times when all you're wanting to consume is pumpkin spice bagels, festive lattes, apple pies, you name it!
