BONE BROTH PROTEIN HOT CHOCOLATE
A homemade hot chocolate that tastes delicious, is dairy-free, AND is protein-packed too!
Servings: 2
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken bone broth (I use Kettle & Fire)
- 2 cups Creamy Vanilla Cashew Milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I use Truvani)
- 2-3 tablespoons raw cacao powder (add more if you want it extra chocolatey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- Dairy-free whipped cream, for serving (optional)
- Crushed peppermint candies, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients — bone broth, milk, maple syrup, chocolate protein powder, cacao powder, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and sea salt — into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
- Start the blender at its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 6 minutes or until heavy steam escapes from the vented lid (see Notes if not using a Vitamix).
Notes
Note, I used a Vitamix blender which blends at a high enough speed that it will heat the ingredients to the perfect toasty temperature.
If you are using a regular blender, blend for 1 minute, then transfer the mixture to the stovetop and warm on medium-low heat until the desired temperature.
