Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup milk (almond, oat, or cow’s milk)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (Dutch cocoa for richer flavor)
- 1 tbsp sweetener (honey, sugar, or maple syrup)
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Start by choosing your method of preparation. If using the stove, heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it’s steaming but not boiling.
- Whisk in the cocoa powder and protein powder, ensuring there are no lumps left. Continue to whisk until everything is well combined and warm.
- Stir in your sweetener and the optional vanilla extract for that extra depth of flavor. Pour it into your favorite mug and enjoy it immediately. Optionally, top it off with mini marshmallows or whipped cream!
Notes
This recipe is easily customizable. For a vegan version, substitute cow’s milk with almond or oat milk, and choose natural sweeteners like agave syrup.
