Description
  Typical hot chocolate is full of added sugars, which is not what I'm about. The protein makes this like a hot protein shake, and its sweetened with monk fruit (or stevia) 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
