Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk, any kind
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1 to 2 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk the cocoa powder, protein powder, sweetener, and salt in a small bowl until no lumps remain.
  2. Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming and tiny bubbles form at the edges, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, slowly whisk in the dry mixture, and keep whisking for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and hot. Stir in the vanilla.
  3. Pour into a mug, top if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

If your protein powder is already quite sweet, you may not need any added sweetener. Taste the mixture before pouring and adjust. This drink is best enjoyed right away; it doesn’t store well.
