Sugar-free Protein Powder Mexican Hot Chocolate

Protein Powder Hot Chocolate?

Absolutely! If you’re wanting more protein in your diet, protein powder is an easy way to get that.  Mixed into a delicious treat like Mexican hot chocolate, you’ll have a tasty, toasty treat that’s great for those cold winter nights.  Take it along on your next ski trip!   

When I first started experimenting, I was worried the powder would clump up and not dissolve well, but that was not the case.  The warm liquid easily dissolves the keto protein powder and adds to the thick, creaminess of the drink.

Instructions

    1. Add water, cocoa, cinnamon, cayenne, and sweetener to a small saucepan. Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir until the ingredients are dissolved.
    2. Once dissolved, turn the temperature to medium-high and stir till mixture is boiling. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
    3. Add milk and protein powder. Over medium heat, whisk just until steam rises from the hot chocolate. Do not simmer or boil (this can make the hot chocolate burn at the bottom of your pan).
    4. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and stir. Pour into a mug and enjoy!
