Description
Typical hot chocolate is full of added sugars, which is not what I'm about. The whey protein here makes this like a warm protein shake, and it's sweetened with granulated monk fruit too. This is great after being outside in the snow for hours, and is a much healthier way to enjoy the classic drink. Or you can make my Unsweetened Hot Cocoa.

Ingredients
Serving(s)
Dry
- 1/2 scoop Whey protein powder, unflavored
- 2 tbsp Powdered peanut butter
- 1 tbsp Granulated monk fruit
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Salt
Wet
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
End
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Almond extract
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Add the dry ingredients to a small saucepot, and whisk in the milk.
- Heat over medium, whisking frequently, until just boiling and creamy, about 5 minutes
- Remove from the heat, and whisk in vanilla and almond extract (optional, but this is my preference)
- Serve immediately warm, or store it in the fridge for later as chocolate milk
Notes
- You can also use 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) liquid monk fruit as your sweetener
- There may still be some small protein powder clumps when you first try to mix in the milk, and that's okay. They'll break down as the milk comes to a boil, and won't be present at the end
