RECIPE

Protein Hot Chocolate Recipe

Super thick and creamy, this is just the thing to warm up your winter days.

Rich and indulgent, this delicious drink is literally brimming with chocolatey flavour and plenty of protein.

The trick to keeping it the perfect consistency is to shake up the protein and milk first, then heat gently and gradually, all the while whisking. If you like it thick, add a little more cornflour to the mix.

Ideal for a mid-morning break or after-dinner treat, you’ll be coming back to this one whenever you need warming up. Trust us.

What type of protein powder is best for hot chocolate?

Chocolate Impact Whey Protein is a personal favourite when it comes to making this velvety hot drink. But if you need an instant fix of chocolatey protein goodness, I recommend using Myprotein Protein Hot Chocolate mix.

What to do to avoid powder clumps in my hot chocolate?

I think it’s safe to say that a fair few people don’t like clumps in their hot drinks.

I’m not judging if you do… but to avoid getting clumps in your hot chocolate, simply blend and pulse all your ingredients together and when you’re heating your blended mixture, and make sure to whisk continuously.

How do I prevent my hot chocolate from being too thick?

As delicious as it tastes, whey protein can be quite thick when it comes to making a hot chocolate. If you make sure that you constantly whisk even when pouring into a cup ready to serve. Your mixture should have a good consistency.

Can my hot chocolate be vegan?

Everyone should be able to try this tasty treat. To make it animal product-free, use plant-based milk and protein powder.

What’s better to use, water or milk?

It all comes down to personal preference — milk gives you a thick and creamy texture whereas water gives you a thinner consistency. Personally, I choose milk every time.

Does hot chocolate contain any caffeine?

Chocolate does contain a small amount of caffeine but nowhere near as much as coffee or energy drinks. So unfortunately, a cup of hot chocolate won’t give you the pre-workout boost you might want, unless you’re highly sensitive to caffeine.
