Protein hot chocolate is the perfect healthy cozy afternoon or evening drink! This healthy recipe is so easy to make and so incredibly creamy. This easy vegan recipe has no added sugar and tastes amazing!
Microwave the dairy free milk in a separate mug or glass for 2 minutes until hot.
Add 1/2 cup of the liquid to your mug. Add the protein powder, cacao powder and coconut sugar (optional) to the hot milk.
Use a frother (or a high speed blender) to combine the milk, protein powder and cacao powder.
Add the rest of the hot milk to the mug.
Top with optional dairy free whipped cream and enjoy!
Notes
NOTE: For every 1.5 c ups of liquid you will want to add 1 tablespoon of protein powder and 1 tablespoon of cacao powder. Choose your favorite dairy free (unsweetened milk). Some great options are:
Almond milk
Cashew milk
Coconut milk
Oat milk
Flax milk
Cacao powder is less bitter than cocoa powder. If you don't have cacao powder and you have to use cocoa powder, you may need to add some sweetener (of choice) to balance out the bitter taste from the cocoa powder. Other ways to enjoy protein hot chocolate?
