A healthy and delicious, superfoods hot chocolate that promotes collagen production. And it happens to be vegan! The secret ingredient that boost collagen production? Tremella Mushrooms!
WHAT ARE TREMELLA MUSHROOMS
Also know snow fungus. It is referred to as a beauty mushroom and vegan collagen, as it can potentially reducing collagen loss. It also has hydrating properties that offers intense moisture retention for skin, promoting skin elasticity and may reduce signs of aging.
I used a Tremella Mushroom powder in this recipe.
OTHER INGREDIENTS
Cacao powder. This is high in antioxidants, which is great for the skin.
Maca Powder. This is another superfoods powder that promotes collagen production
Almond milk or soy milk (high in protein)
Maple Syrup or honey
HOT OR ICED
Both options are easy. If you want to enjoy this as an iced drink, simply use cold milk and pour the drink over ice cubes.
Alternatively you can heat the milk and use a milk frother for that hot latte effect.
