It’s officially chilly out there! Rather than turn up the thermostat this winter, warm yourself from the inside out with these decadent vegan drinks.

+ add your ownI Love Dark Chocolate Almond milk, heated with a dash of ginger and cinnamon...yum!
#1 and #2 both sound wonderful!
Ta.
Those vegan drinks sounds yummy ! I don't eat dairy or meat, so it's perfect for me !
Thanks for having vegan options- I will have to try the vegan nog & of course love chai teas. THanks for the dessert recipes too.
ahhhhh it's so cold right now.........
noted with thanks. I always get hot teas.
Whoops, meant MONSANTO, not "Monsanta". They're no "santa".
Anne G., thanks for pointing that out. I checked the label and 2nd ingredient is milk powder. Now, I'm not vegan so I don't care about that, BUT while reading the label, I see Swiss Miss is put out by CON-AGRA, and in my opinon, they are right in the same category as Monsanta............EVIL GIANTS. I guess I'll have to switch brands. DANG, I like the "No Added Sugar" formula, especially to put a "shot" of Amaretto in when it's freezing outside!
Diane L., if you look at the list of ingredients on your Swiss Miss box, it probably has milk powder in it, thus not vegan.
I might be a bit confused but unless one uses milk to add to their cocoa, why would any "hot chocolate" not be vegan? I am not vegan, but make my hot cocoa using the "Swiss Miss" No Added Sugar mix and never use anything but hot water. I really am not concerned whether it's "vegan" or not, but just curious as to why any dry cocoa mix wouldn't be unless milk was used?
Also, yes, why wouldn't any tea be vegan? Green tea with lemon is the only tea I'll drink, and again, never add sugar, milk or anything else.
What about Hot Cider?
