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

- 1 cup (240 g) Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 scoop (15 g) Whey protein powder, unflavored
- 2 tbsp (10 g) Cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp (12 g) Powdered peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) Liquid monk fruit
- 1/4 tsp (1.25 g) Almond extract

1. Add ingredients to a medium saucepot

2. Heat over medium, whisking frequently, until warm (but not boiling) and creamy

3. Serve immediately, makes 1 serving. Can also be stored in the fridge for later as chocolate milk

4. Alternatively you can mix in a shaker bottle, then transfer to a glass or mug and microwave for 1:30
