When the weather turns fluffy snow, your energy shouldn’t follow suit.
If you’re finding yourself curled up under blankets, heater on full blast, and your usual pep… missing, maybe it’s time for a cozy upgrade that’s both indulgent and smart. Enter the High-Protein Hot Chocolate, your winter drink glow-up.
☕️ Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (almond, oat, or cow)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder (Dutch cocoa = extra richness)
- 1 Tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple, or your favorite)
- Optional: ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Topping ideas: mini marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate shavings
🥣 Steps (under 5 minutes!):
Choose your method: stovetop or microwave.
If stovetop: heat milk gently (don’t let it boil!) then whisk in protein powder, cocoa, sweetener (and vanilla if you’re adding). Taste & adjust.
If microwave: combine all ingredients in a mug, stir well, microwave for 1–2 minutes (stir halfway) until hot.
Pour into your favorite mug, top it up with your fun toppings, and sip slowly while the holiday lights twinkle.
This season, swap the plain ol’ cocoa for a version that supports your wellness goals and your cozy vibes. Grab your mug, press play on your favorite holiday tune, and treat yourself to a sip that feels like gifts and gains. 🎁
