Decadent Drinking Chocolate

Decadent Drinking Chocolate

  This thick, creamy high protein Drinking Chocolate tastes decadent and rich – without weighing you down with fat and sugar. This treat is not sweet – but you can always add some regular or coconut whipped cream (my favorite) or even mini marshmallows up top to give it a sweet kick. Grab the recipe and try it for yourself!   Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk (creamiest) or unsweetened almond milk
• ¼ cup fat-free cottage cheese
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1–2 tsp Truvia brown sugar (to taste)
• 1–2 tsp monk fruit sweetener (to taste)
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch sea salt
• Dash of cinnamon or nutmeg

  Instructions: Gently heat the cashew or almond milk in a small saucepan until warm (do not boil). Add the warm milk and all remaining ingredients to a blender.  Blend for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth—no cottage cheese texture should remain. Pour back into the saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring constantly. Serve immediately. Makes 1 serving. Optional: top with whipped cream, coconut whipped cream or mini marshmallows   Nutrition Information, (per serving, makes 1 serving): values may vary depending on product brands  Calories: 160 Fat: 8g Carbs: 5g Protein: 18g
