How to Make Vegan Protein Hot Chocolate at Home

Look no further than homemade vegan protein hot chocolate! This simple recipe takes just minutes to whip up and is packed with protein, making it the perfect guilt-free indulgence. As a craft and DIY enthusiast, I always encourage incorporating handmade goodness into our lives, even with something as simple as a hot chocolate. This recipe allows for creativity and personalization, making each cup unique.

Gather Your Ingredients:

Before we embark on this chocolatey adventure, let’s gather our trusty ingredients:

  • Dairy-free Milk: Opt for your favorite unsweetened variety – almond, cashew, coconut, oat, or flax milk all work wonderfully. It’s about personalizing your hot chocolate experience.
  • Vegan Protein Powder: This is our secret weapon for a creamy and protein-packed treat. Look for a high-quality vegan protein powder, preferably chocolate or vanilla flavored, that blends smoothly.
  • Unsweetened Cacao Powder: This provides that rich, chocolatey depth. Cacao powder is less bitter than cocoa powder and boasts more nutrients and antioxidants.
  • Optional Sweetener: If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add a natural sweetener like coconut sugar, maple syrup, or stevia. Adjust to your liking.
  • Milk Frother: This handy tool elevates our hot chocolate to new levels of frothy goodness! If you don’t have one, a high-speed blender does the trick.

Let’s Make Some Magic:

Now that our ingredients are prepped and ready, let’s dive into the simple steps:

  1. Warm Up the Milk: Pour your dairy-free milk into a microwave-safe mug or glass and heat it for about 2 minutes, or until it’s steaming. Alternatively, you can warm it gently on the stovetop.
  2. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In your mug, whisk together the vegan protein powder, cacao powder, and your sweetener of choice.
  3. Create the Frothy Goodness: Using your milk frother or blender, blend a small amount of the hot milk with the dry ingredients until smooth and frothy. This ensures a perfectly blended hot chocolate experience.
  4. Combine and Enjoy! Add the remaining hot milk to the mug and give it a good stir. For an extra touch of indulgence, top with dairy-free whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a few vegan marshmallows.

  • Make it a Mocha: Combine your protein hot chocolate mix with a shot of espresso for a delicious and energizing mocha treat.
  • Create Your Own Mix: Combine equal parts vegan protein powder and cacao powder and store in an airtight container. When you’re craving a warm hug in a mug, simply scoop out 2 tablespoons of the mix per 1.5 cups of hot milk.
