Choco Mint Cocoa Nothing says holidays & winter like hot chocolate! This warm and sweet treat is one of the best but the high sugar can leave us crashing and not feeling great. Give this recipe a try for less sugar but certainly not less flavor!    Ingredients: 2 Cups Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk 1 Scoop Collagen Powder (optional) 1/2 Scoop Chocolate Protein Powder 1/2 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder 4 Dark Chocolate Mint Hersey Kisses Directions:In sauce pan, low heat, add 2 cups almond milk. Stir constantly.  Warm about 2-3min. (maybe less if open flame) Add in protein powder and whisk until dissolved. Lastly, stir in and dissolve collagen powder. Serve warm and add marshmallows, optional Makes 1 serving Optional Substitutes:  Whole milk or heavy whipping cream instead of almond milk (+ fat)Chocolate almond milk instead of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (+ sugar)Peppermint extract 2-3 drops instead of Hershey kisses (less sugar)*Note – if your protein powder tastes like chalk and you do not like it, this recipe will not make it magically better. Use a protein powder you like! lol I love my protein to be plant based and soy free. Homegood carries some great affordable brands.
