Healthy Hot Chocolate

The fact that Boditronics Express Whey thickens a little when you heat it helps make this a ‘not naughty but feels naughty’ hot chocolate treat! It was a real game changer for me in the heat of dieting, because it makes one of those cosy treats you need, a huge serving of protein and its great for the whole family.

This recipe aims to create the best hot chocolate experience with a thick and creamy texture. Using coconut milk or dairy-free milk as options can enhance the richness and creaminess of the drink. This hot chocolate feels so indulgent with a thick and creamy texture. This is a lovely twist to your go-to post (or pre) workout protein shake.

Tip:

Add ¼ tsp cinnamon and some mini marshmallows for an optional Christmas twist.

Decorate with the marshmallows. This healthy hot chocolate recipe is absolutely loved, and is an amazing recipe. My husband loves it!- If you want to add a naughty edge, why not top with chopped dark chocolate chips or chocolate shavings?
