INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 8 scoops Chocolate Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides approximately 4 ounces
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon preferably the ceylon variety

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a small pan, heat almond milk until it starts to boil, then remove immediately from the stovetop.
  • Add the chocolate protein powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the hot chocolate into a 6-ounce mug.  If desired, top with some homemade sugar-free whipped cream and add an extra sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.

NOTES

  • If the kind of milk you are using tends to scald easily, try medium-high to medium heat first. In some cases,​ you may need to turn it down to medium-low heat instead.
  • Since some types of protein powder can clump easily, use a whisk for mixing instead of using a spoon.  If whisking isn't enough, then the best way to avoid clumping is to first mix the protein powder with a small amount of room-temperature water before using.
