🎄Sorry What? No chicken in “Gravy for chicken”🎄

To be honest, I think it’s SO misleading! With no real ingredients, it is an ultra processed concoction of rubbish.

Bisto also has 10 times the salt of the Tesco finest stock!

Who doesn’t want a healthy hot chocolate?! Cacao powder is rich in iron, magnesium and other essential vitamins and minerals, a perfect boost for this time of year.

🫶🏼Cacao hot chocolate recipe 🫶🏼

250 milk of choice (Organic whole milk is our favourite)
1 heaped teaspoon cacao powder
1 x teaspoon honey

Method:
1. Add 50ml milk & 1 heaped teaspoon of cacao powder to a saucepan and heat up, making sure all lumps have disappeared (you could use a mug and a microwave if you prefer?)

2. Once a smooth texture, add the remaining milk and honey and heat just before boiling point. (Again you can add to a microwave for 2 minutes if preferred)

3. Find a cosy spot and drink it!
