I have a fun twist on the traditional hot chocolate for you today. Orange juice is a usual breakfast staple but why not try it a different way. How about hot chocolate made with orange juice? This Orange and Nutty Hot Chocolate is a yummy change.
Orange juice is a great way to start off your day. Did you know it gives you and all-natural power pack of essential vitamins plus minerals. It is also a great source of vitamin C which is so important dunring cold and flu season. An 8 oz glass provides more than 100 percent of the Daily Value for Vitamin C which may act as an antioxident. It is a key nutrient to help support a healthy immune system.
Orange juice is also packed with flavor. It is the perfect compliment is this recipe to the creamy white chocolate. You can make it with almond milk or just use regular milk along with some almond extract. The almond flavor is another added compliment to the orange juice.
