Instant hot chocolate muscle mix (High Protein Vegan Recipe Series)

Want hot chocolate at home but don't want the fuss? Make your own pre-mix for cold or rainy days when you want a chocolaty treat with the protein yet without the guilt. Just add hot water! Sugar-free and cholesterol-free if you use non-dairy milk powder.

Makes about 160 grams.

Macros per serving (5 tbsp, 40g):

17.5g protein
17.2g carbs
2.7g fat
2.5g fibre

Ingredients:

70 grams Chocolate Cinnamon Vegan Protein Powder
8 tbsp soy milk powder (or any dairy or non-dairy milk powder of your choice)
1 tsp cinnamon powder
5 tbsp cocoa powder
Cinnamon stick, to serve (optional)

Method:

Mix Vegan Protein Powder, soy milk powder, cinnamon powder, cocoa powder and raw sugar in a mixing bowl. Sieve once for a smoother mix if preferred. Transfer into an airtight container to store.
To make the hot chocolate, simply mix 5 tbsp of the pre-mix with 400ml warm or hot water. Stir with a cinnamon stick for stronger cinnamon taste or add sugar if preferred.

Tip:

This is best kept in an airtight container in the fridge, or at room temperature away from direct heat and sunlight.
Dutch-processed type of cocoa powder is recommended for a smoother and less bitter chocolate flavour.
For an iced version, dissolve 5 tbsp of pre-mix with 350ml room temperature water and add ice cubes.
