7 min totaal 1 portie 165 kcal p.p. 26 g protein

Nothing warms as pleasantly as a mug of steaming hot chocolate, and this protein version gives you exactly that comforting feeling without the sugar. Creamy, deeply chocolatey and with a hint of cinnamon, this is the kind of drink you enjoy on the sofa in the evening.

For Phase 1, this warm hot chocolate is a lifesaver: chocolate protein powder and unsweetened almond milk deliver over twenty-five grams of protein whilst keeping carbohydrates low. That's precisely what makes it so suitable within a protein diet, as the high protein content provides a warm satiety that suppresses sweet cravings. So you stay true to your goals even during the strict Phase 1, with a drink that feels more like a reward than a sacrifice.

Lovely with an extra pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of stevia for those who want it just a bit sweeter.

Zo maak je het

  1. Gently warm the almond milk in a pan, do not boil.
  2. Stir through the cocoa powder and cinnamon until dissolved.
  3. Remove from the heat and let cool for a minute.
  4. Whisk the protein powder through with a whisk until smooth.
  5. Sweeten with stevia and pour into a mug.

Bewaren

Drink this hot chocolate best straight after making it. Any leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator and gently reheated later without boiling.

Variatietips

Stir in a pinch of chilli or a hint of peppermint for a surprising twist. With espresso added, it becomes a comforting mocha drink.
