• Cocoa or cacao powder, 4 tbsp
• Syrup, maple, 1.5 tbsp

• Vanilla, 1/4 tsp
• Optional: Maca, 1 tsp (omit this if you plan to drink it near your bedtime as it may inhibit sleep).

Froth the coconut milk using a frother or blender. While the coconut milk froths up, place a small saucepan on low heat and add the 4 tablespoons of non-dairy, cocoa powder, syrup, cinnamon and vanilla. While the saucepan's contents at a constant rate, until you have a thick chocolate milk; look for the vaguest hint of a skin on top. Whisk the maca powder into the chocolate milk until everything is evenly incorporated. After the soy milk is frothed, end the heat on your hot chocolate, pour the froth milk into it and then whisk lightly until the hot cocoa takes on a light brown coloring.

Simple Banana Protein Shake

To make this super delicious and super flexible recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• Milk, almond, plain, 1 cup
• Yogurt, Greek, plain, full-fat, 1/2 cup
• Protein powder, vanilla, 1 scoop
• Banana, frozen, one
• Cinnamon, ground, 1/8 tsp
• Ice, as needed

Combine your ingredients into a blender. Put the blender to work, mixing everything up until you have a smooth and even consistency. If you feel that your shake is too thick for your tastes, consider incrementally adding additional almond milk as you blend it, until things look appropriate.

Spiced Turmeric Milk

Arguably the most herbaceous recipe in this article, this 8-serving recipe is brimming with healthy treatments. Turmeric helps keep your skin young and supple, cinnamon helps circulate blood and cardamom is an antioxidant. Whether you want to try it hot or cold, you will need a blender, sieve, glass jar and the following ingredients:

• Water, 1 cup
• Cinnamon stick, 2 inches long, one
• Cardamom pods, 6
• Turmeric root, fresh, unpeeled, 3.5 oz
• Milk, almond, 8 cups
• Raw agave nectar, coconut nectar or honey, roughly 8 tsp

Add the cimmamon, water and cardamom to a small sauce pan. Bring the mixture to a roiling boil on high heat, then reduce it to a simmer. From there, proceed to cook it 20 minutes. Add the turmeric root to a blender, followed by the spice mixture. This should be slightly cooled off by now. Pulse just long enough for the turmeric and spices to be considered finely chopped. Let the mixture stand until it cools off. Strain the infusion of turmeric and spice through a fine sieve and into your jar, pressing firmly against the solids to get as much liquid as you can. Toss the solids into the trash. For each serving, combine 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tbsp of the infusion and 1 tsp of whichever sweetener you prefer. Stir, blend and serve.
