Ingredients

1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 tablespoons vegan protein powder
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant milk
1-2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
1 pinch salt

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, protein powder, and a pinch of salt.
1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons vegan protein powder, 1 pinch salt
Add almond milk and maple syrup if using. Whisk vigorously until smooth and fully combined.
1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1-2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and continue whisking frequently for about 5–6 minutes, until warm (but not boiling). Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed before serving.

Notes

Whisk well: Prevents lumps and creates a smooth, creamy texture.
Adjust sweetness: Protein powders vary in sweetness. Add maple syrup gradually to suit your taste.
Storage tip: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently, whisking to restore creaminess.
