Caffeine-Free Hot Chocolate for Kids

Children deserve the enjoyment of hot brewed beverages like everyone else, but moms know that good parenting depends on good management of our children's intake of stimulants like sugar and caffeine. Hot chocolate, the favorite hot drink to offer children instead of coffee, is loaded with sugar to offset cocoa's bitter flavor. Combined with the stimulants found in cocoa, hot chocolate can send kids blood sugar soaring.

Teeccino chocolate blends that include dates and figs provide a slightly sweet brew that can be accented with chocolate and lightly sweetened to taste. With far less stimulants and sugar per serving than hot cocoa mixes,  Teeccino lets you offer your children hot beverages that will delight them without compromising their nutrition.

Note: We recommend using cacao instead of processed, alkalized cocoa which reduces cacao's natural antioxidants and other nutrients. For more information, read our blog!
