There’s nothing more grand than cozying up with a hot beverage when it’s chilly outside. Sipping something warm is delightfully comforting, like getting a hug in a mug!
Get cozy from the inside out with 15 warming non-alcoholic drinks that are dairy-free, low in sugars (no refined sugars), and filled with healthy ingredients to nourish the whole family. Featuring creamy vegan hot chocolates, citrus teas, mulled ciders, spiced wassail, and more, these delicious recipes will keep you toasty warm, help you stay hydrated, and boost your immunity throughout the colder months.
During the holidays and chilly winter weather months, it is easy to feast on warm baked goods, snack on desserts leftover from the holidays, and indulge in seasonal sweet drinks that may be high in sugars. Sugary treats, albeit tasty, can deplete the immune system. Drinks with warming spices and herbs, like cinnamon and ginger, boost immunity while warming you up from the inside out!
The majority of these drinks are caffeine free, so you can sip these long into the evening. However, black tea and some chocolates do contain small amounts of caffeine. If you are following a strict no-caffeine diet, wish to drink these in the evening (and plan to sleep at night), and/or are serving these to your kiddos, you may want to use decaf tea or determine the best time to serve hot chocolate. Obviously, it’s up to you!
So grab a mug, relax with the family, and get cozy with one of these 15 healthy warming drinks. Cheers!
