The Holidays are a great reason to get together with family and friends. Entertaining doesn’t have to be complicated. Try these easy and delicious drink recipes to pair with your holiday meals.
Adding vitality essential oils* to your favorite holiday drinks not only adds flavor but it also offers a little aromatherapy to your guests.
These essential oils are so concentrated that you only need a few drops to add a lot of flavor to your drinks and other dishes. A 5ml. bottle contains 200 drops, it goes a long way!
Make sure you stir your drinks well before you serve them.

*The Young Living vitality essential oils that I use are FDA approved for oral intake.
**Be careful when you blend the hot mix because the lid may pop up.
Don’t fill the blender too high.
The productsI used, all together a cup of the hot chocolate is only 176 calories
You can also make it with coconut milk, or almond milk.
