Viral Vegan Hot Chocolate
If you’ve been on TikTok or Instagram recently, you’ve probably seen viral hot chocolate recipes everywhere. From whipped hot chocolate to thick café-style versions, cosy chocolate drinks are having a moment. But while these viral recipes look delicious, they are often packed with sugar.
What if you could make a viral vegan hot chocolate that’s rich, creamy, and chocolatey but also contains fibre and nutrients? With Biomel Prebiotic Fibre, you can turn a cosy mug of dairy-free cocoa into a high-fibre vegan hot chocolate that’s simple to make at home.
Pro Tip: Biomel Prebiotic Fibre can be added to warm drinks. Unlike our Complete Gut powder, it doesn’t contain live cultures, so it can be gently heated without affecting the product (just avoid boiling temperatures to protect the digestive enzymes).
What makes a good vegan hot chocolate
A great vegan hot chocolate should be rich, smooth, and easily customisable. Instead of dairy, these recipes use plant-based alternatives like oat, almond, or soy milk. Making it at home allows you to control the sweetness and avoid unnecessary additives.

Viral vegan hot chocolate recipe
Ingredients
- 250–300ml plant milk (oat milk works best for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 serving (15g) Biomel Prebiotic Fibre
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
How to make it
- Heat the plant milk: Warm the milk gently in a saucepan until hot but not boiling.
- Add cocoa powder: Whisk the cocoa into the milk until smooth.
- Stir in Biomel: Add your serving of Prebiotic Fibre and mix well.
- Sweeten and serve: Add maple syrup if desired and pour into your favourite mug.
Tips for the perfect vegan hot chocolate
- Use oat milk: It provides the most "dairy-like" creamy texture.
- Add warming spices: A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla adds extra depth.
- Froth it: Use a hand frother for that café-style foam.
- Toppings: Try vegan whipped cream, dark chocolate shavings, or cacao nibs.
Lazy girls version: simply mix 3 teaspoons of Biomel Prebiotic Fibre with some warm milk!
Why fibre matters
Fibre supports normal digestive function and helps feed the gut microbiome. Since many people in the UK don't reach the recommended 30g daily intake, adding fibre to daily treats like hot chocolate is an easy way to close the gap.
