How to Make a Hot Protein Chocolate

Cold weather means hot beverages especially hot chocolate, so why not make it a healthy beverage. The protein will give you a boost as well as the chocolate!! Yum!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Chocolate Protein Powder
• Silk Light Chocolate Soy Milk
• Vanilla Extract
• Special Dark Hersheys Cocoa
• Blender

1. First. Purchase your ingredients. Perhaps the most difficult part will be selecting what type of protein you will use. I personally use one with extra fiber called Fitsmart, which has 10 grams of fiber, and 20 grams of protein.

2. Second. My preference is to use Silk light chocolate soy milk, which has 5 grams of protein, and 2 gram of fiber, but almond milk would be tasty as well.

3. Third. Combine one serving of protein, 6 to 8 ounces of soy milk, 1 tablespoon of Hersheys Special Dark Cocoa, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, in a blender mix for a few seconds, then pour into a saucepan or microwave safe cup and heat DO NOT BOIL. May take up to a couple minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• Tip you can grate fresh cinnamon on top of your hot chocolate for added flavor.
