Provided by Carine Claudepierre

Time 4m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1/4 cup Chocolate Protein Powder (I used Almond Protein powder for a from Macro mike)
1 tablespoon Crystal Sweetener of Choice (I used erythritol for a low carb option but white sugar or coconut sugar works too)
1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 cup Plant-Based Milk (I use low-fat soy milk or unsweetened almond milk0)

Steps:

In a medium saucepan, add milk of choice and whisk in your favorite chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sweetener of choice. Whisk vigorously until combined.
Heat over medium-low heat, frequently whisking, until warm (but not boiling) and creamy. Depending on the brand of protein powder you used, the texture can be thicker. If too thick to your liking, whisk in an extra 1/4 cup of milk. If too thin, whisk in extra protein powder. Taste and adjust sweetness before serving.
Serve immediately, plain or with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream on top for a touch of decadence. We used homemade whipped coconut cream to keep it plant-based.
