If you’re looking for a simple, healthier twist on hot chocolate that actually supports your skin, mood and overall wellbeing, Lisa Snowdon’s collagen hot chocolate is an easy win. It’s quick to make, tastes rich and comforting, and includes two ingredients that are especially helpful for women during perimenopause and menopause: raw cacao and marine collagen.
“This hot chocolate has become a little daily ritual for me. It tastes gorgeous, but it also gives me something extra — the collagen helps support my skin and joints, and the raw cacao gives me a lift when my energy or mood dips. During menopause, you really notice the difference when you add in things that support your body, and this is such an easy, delicious way to do it.”
— Lisa Snowdon
Raw cacao provides minerals and mood support, whilst collagen adds protein and benefits skin, hair, and joints — making this more than a cosy drink. It’s a genuinely functional treat. It is naturally low in sugar and contains magnesium and iron, which are excellent for supporting energy, mood and relaxation. It also has antioxidant properties that help keep skin bright and healthy.
Collagen levels naturally drop during perimenopause and menopause. Adding Correxiko Marine Collagen provides easily absorbed peptides that support skin firmness, joint comfort, hair strength and gut health. It blends smoothly into warm drinks, making it an effortless daily supplement for beauty and wellbeing.
Lisa’s Collagen Hot Chocolate Recipe
Ingredients
-
Milk of your choice (dairy, plant-based or goat’s milk)

2 tablespoons Correxiko Marine Collagen (this collagen is unflavoured and mixes perfectly with the cocoa to make a creamy drink)
-
2 heaped teaspoons raw cacao
-
Optional: honey or agave
Method
Warm your milk gently on the hob
-
Add 2 x tablespoons of Correxiko marine collagen powder and whisk until dissolved
-
Stir in 2 x heaped teaspoons of raw cacao.
-
Sweeten lightly, if desired.
-
Whisk again until creamy and well combined.
Serve warm. It’s rich, chocolatey and takes only a couple of minutes — ideal for mornings, afternoons or anytime you want a nourishing, midlife-friendly treat. I have been making this drink with Correxiko marine collagen for years, and I love it. It's such an enjoyable and super simple way to experience the benefits of collagen, and it tastes so good.
