Ingredients

- 2 coop vegan protein powder chocolate flavor
- 4 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Optional
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder optional, sub with ground ginger and ground clove
Instructions
- Start by adding the oat milk and maple syrup to the blender.
- Next, sift your protein powder and cocoa powder into the blender. Then add in your spices (if using) and salt.
- Blend until well combined. You're looking for a smooth, creamy consistency with no lumps.
- Once everything is well blended, transfer the mixture to a small saucepan.
- Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Don't let the mixture come to a boil.
- Serve with some mini marshmallows or a dash of cinnamon.

Notes
- Storage: Once cool, transfer to a mason jar or any airtight container. Your protein hot chocolate will keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to enjoy, give the jar a shake, then warm it over medium heat or microwave until its at the right temperature.
- Recipe Tips: For a mocha flavor, add a shot of espresso before blending. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup. For a frothier texture, use a milk frother before serving.
