Healthy Hot Chocolate — 3 Ways

Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond Milk (unsweetened, preferably organic)
• 1 scoop Bone Broth Protein Powder (approximately 20 g collagen per scoop; choose a high‑quality, unflavored product)
• 1 tsp Monk Fruit & Stevia Blend (provides 1‑2 g total sugar; adjust to taste)
• 5-6 drops Peppermint Essential Oil (use therapeutic‑grade, organic if possible; only for mint variation)
• 0.25 tsp Ground Cinnamon (for Mexican variation; use Ceylon cinnamon if available)
• pinch Cayenne Pepper (for Mexican variation; start with a small pinch and adjust)

Instructions

1. Measure Milk

   Pour 1 cup of almond milk into a small saucepan.

   Time: PT1M

2. Heat Milk

   Warm the milk over medium heat until it reaches a gentle steam (about 140°F/60°C). Do not let it boil.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 140°F

3. Add Protein & Sweetener

   Add 1 scoop of bone broth protein powder and 1 tsp monk‑fruit/stevia blend. Whisk vigorously until fully dissolved and no lumps remain.

   Time: PT1M

4. Flavor Variations

   For the classic version, skip this step. For mint, add 5‑6 drops of peppermint essential oil and stir. For Mexican, add ¼ tsp ground cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne pepper, then stir well.

   Time: PT1M

5. Serve

   Pour the hot chocolate into a mug. Enjoy immediately hot, or let it cool and serve cold. For a frozen treat, pour into a shallow container and freeze for 2‑3 hours, then scrape into fudgesicle shapes.
