When it comes to enjoying a cup of hot chocolate during the chilly winter months, there are few fully vegan hot cocoa mixes on the market and consumers who seek out entirely plant-based products must go to great lengths to avoid items that incorporate milk powder, milk, whipped cream and marshmallows made with gelatin. Coconut Cloud is now introducing its Vegan Hot Cocoa as a convenient new option for those who are purposefully avoiding dairy, gluten, lactose and soy—the product is also free from GMO ingredients, as well as carrageenan, gums and titanium dioxide.
The non-dairy hot cocoa mix features a base of coconut cream powder, coconut sugar and rich cocoa powder, making for a comforting beverage that can be whipped up in an instant. When it comes to making the product, Coconut Cloud advises mixing it with hot water.
