It's that time of the year to get cozy with a cup of hot chocolate. Here's a yummy recipe that cuts some of the calories.

Healthier Hot Chocolate
This recipe is from Fitness magazine with a few edits I made.

SERVES 2
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

3-4 tablespoons agave nectar (a natural sweetener found in supermarkets & healthfood stores. I use it in my oatmeal. It looks like honey and it's yummy!).

2.5 cups soy milk (or skim milk)

1/2 vanilla bean, split

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Mix cocoa powder and agave nectar. Heat milk in a medium saucepan over very low heat w/ vanilla bean, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk in cocoa-agave mixture thoroughly, until mixture is warm, but not boiling.
