I have been a chocoholic for as long as I can remember, so it was really difficult when I decided to give up sugar for health reasons. Sugar can be a huge trigger for those with autoimmune diseases. It can cause inflammation and so is a big no no for me. You can read more about the reason I restrict my diet here.
It wasn’t long before I realised that life without chocolate was not a life I wanted to live so I started experimenting with hot chocolate to curb my sweet tooth and feel less deprived too.
It worked a treat and now I have it regularly. This hot chocolate orange version is wonderful and very reminiscent of everyone’s favourtie chocolate orange confectionery.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Health and happiness,
