Spiced White Hot Chocolate

I have partnered with Sprouts Farmers Market to bring you this Spiced White Hot Chocolate  ~ all opinions herein are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep this blog spinning.

Aromatic star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom add a delightful spin to this cozy and comforting, Spiced White Hot Chocolate. This rich drink is sure to warm your body and soul.

This Spiced White Hot Chocolate gets its soul-warming powers from Host Defense Complete Calm Powder. I happened to come across Host Defense Complete Calm Powder when I was meandering through the vitamin, herbs, and supplements section at Sprouts and figured, with the stress of the past couple of weeks, I sure could use a little calm in my life.

What is Host Defense Complete Calm Powder?

Host Defense Complete Calm Powder is a blend of mushroom mycelium and herbs that are believed to support a calm and relaxed body and mind. It is said to help us adapt to stress with a natural blend of ingredients such as Lions Mane, Reishi, Skullcap, and Passion Flower.

How do you enjoy Host Defense Complete Calm Powder?

You can add Host Defense Complete Calm Powder to your morning bowl of oatmeal, to a smoothie, to soup, to no-bake snack bites, and even to rich, delicious drinks like this Spiced White Hot Chocolate.

I made two large mugs of this Spiced White Hot Chocolate as a treat to unwind with after a crazy week. My daughter and I recently moved into a delightful house in Covington (Georgia) ~ that is a bit of a fixer upper.

We thought we had had most of the major fixing up done before we moved. But, last week our plumbing woes resulted in a replacement of the main water and drain lines to and from the house.

But, that’s not all… also last week, we were supposed to close on the house we used to live in in Athens – buuuuuttt… the closing didn’t happen.

Buying one house and selling another has always carried a bit of stress for me. But, buying a fixer upper, trying to fix it up as we move into it, while selling another, threatens my emotional wellness in a big way!

I am a huge advocate of natural vitamins, herbs, and supplements to help me with whatever ails me, and so I am glad to have found Host Defense Complete Calm Powder. That night, after my large mug of Spiced White Hot Chocolate, I got some of the best sleep of 2020!

What are the ingredients needed to make Spiced White Hot Chocolate?

While I had most of the spices on hand, I did pick up some oatmilk, as well as some egg-free, dairy-free marshmallows from Sprouts, along with the Host Defense Complete Calm Powder.

Then, it was just a matter of adding all the ingredients to a pan, placing it over medium heat, stirring, and enjoying a rich and delicious, emotional wellness boosting, beverage.

If you find yourself feeling a bit off balance, or looking for natural ways to deal with seasonal blues or general anxiety and worry, please do check out the wide variety of vitamins, supplements, and herbs available at your local Sprouts.

Amidst uncertain and busy times, make sure you take care of yourself. And, remember that Sprouts can help keep your mind, body and spirit in balance with their wide variety of herbs, vitamins, and supplements.
