High Protein Hot Chocolate

High Protein Hot Chocolate

1 C hot water (you can measure in your blender jar)

1 C Blendfresh Protein Powder (raw, vegan, plant based)

1 Tbsp cacao powder (I use raw for nutrients)

1 tsp agave syrup

1 Tbsp raw coconut oil (superfood!)

1 tsp clean chocolate chips (optional - I like Kirkland brand from Costco, also vegan)

Add all ingredients to your blender jar and use blend for 90 seconds once or twice, depending on how hot your like your drink.  The Blendtec blender blade will spin so fast that the friction will heat your hot chocolate.   If this is made without chocolate chips, it is actually a guilt free, healthy drink - a fun way to get your protein in the winter!

Be sure to add the coconut oil if at all possible.  It makes the drink very creamy and delicious, and it's such an important and good oil for weight loss that bikini competition trainers recommend it by the spoonful in the last days leading up to a show.  You will love getting your healthy fats this way!

As an aside, I'm giving you my kitchen notes from creating the recipe.  Yes, I experiment a lot.  Don't worry, I only post the ones that turn out great!  Feel free to experiment yourself.  That's the only way you'll discover your new favorite healthy things.  Take your own notes as you go, and please comment or contact me as you find your own fun recipes!
