Simple, Soulful Hot Chocolate

🌙 Dark Raw Hot Chocolate

A cozy, mood-boosting sip for soft power evenings.

This isn’t just hot chocolate — it’s an herbalist’s hug in a mug. Rich in tryptophan, dark chocolate supports serotonin production to lift your mood, calm your nervous system, and gently nourish your inner glow. It may also help lower blood pressure, balance cholesterol, and support insulin sensitivity. Yes, it’s decadent and functional. You're welcome.

Ritual tip
Wrap yourself in a robe, light a candle, and drink this while journaling or whispering sweet nothings to your to-do list.
