Ingredients

  • 3 cups milk or non-dairy milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  • Heat the milk in a small pot over medium-low heat until it's gently simmering.
  • Gently whisk in the cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Taste and add additional maple syrup if desired.
  • Pour into a mug or heat-safe glass and serve immediately, topped with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Generally, a scoop of protein powder contains around 25 to 30 grams or 2 to 3 tablespoons. I usually use the scoop that comes with my protein powder. 1 scoop tends to be one serving of protein according to the bag and this recipe uses 2 scoops to make 2 servings of hot chocolate.
