This protein hot chocolate recipe is a STAPLE of mine
Am I the only one who can’t get warm?? Today I traded my protein shake in for some protein hot chocolate. It’s that time of year.
Hot chocolate warms me from the inside out, but when most regular hot chocolate has anywhere from 25-50 grams of sugar for one cup…I’d rather spend my sugar + carbs elsewhere!
My quick recipe for protein hot chocolate has ZERO grams of sugar + 21 grams of protein.
MUNCHER CRUNCHER PROTEIN HOT CHOCOLATE
- heat up 8 oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk to your
- allow it to sit to cool until it’s not piping hot
- pour your heated almond milk + 1 scoop of chocolate protein (my favorite protein is THIS one)+ 1 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder into a blender/bullet/cocomotion (you can also add a few drops of stevia if you want a little more sweetness)
- blend until it’s combined with no lumps
- pour into your mug & top with a dollop of whipped cream & enjoy!
SO EASY. High protein, low calorie, low sugar, & very tasty! The big secret to making sure this tastes good?? DON’T HEAT UP YOUR WHEY PROTEIN!!!!!. It denatures with heat, which changes the texture. It curdles, & changes the taste!
