What is Soya Hot Chocolate?
Soya Hot Chocolate is a plant-based take on the familiar hot chocolate, made by warming cocoa or chocolate with a soy drink instead of dairy milk. It can be mixed at home from cocoa, soy drink and a sweetener to taste, or bought ready-made. Its flavour and thickness vary with the amount of cocoa and the product used.
Serve it hot as a cosy drink on a cold day, for breakfast or alongside an afternoon snack; a plain biscuit or a little extra cocoa on top makes a simple pairing. It suits vegan and lactose-free diets and contributes protein and calcium. For a lighter cup, choose an unsweetened soy drink and use less added sugar or chocolate.
