Cooler weather is just around the corner and this hot chocolate mix will be just the thing to take the chill off and provide you with a healthy dose of protein as well. Olivia enjoys this drink often as her breakfast and finds it really filling and satisfying plus it is just plain yummy! When she makes it she uses more protein, collagen, and cocoa powder than the original recipe calls for. The original is found below.
You may find you want to just play with the recipe to see what you like. When Olivia makes it she uses three tablespoons of mix with two tablespoons of heavy whipping cream in a big mug of boiling water. She likes to drink it almost every day...no matter what the weather is. When we travel together, she is even kind enough to make a travel mug for her mother. Enjoy!
