Healthy Hot Chocolate? A Spiced Up Hot Chocolate Recipe

Now I want to share with you a decadently creamy, protein-packed hot chocolate. This cocoa is not your average Swiss Miss. With its warm spices and gentle chocolate flavor, it has quickly become one of my favorite drinks. To a saucepan, combine one cup of whole milk. I'm using raw milk. One tablespoon of maple syrup. Two teaspoons of cocoa powder. A splash of vanilla. A sprinkle of cinnamon. A sprinkle of cayenne pepper. And two scoops of collagen powder. Either bovine or marine collagen will work. Or you can completely omit the collagen if you want. Whisk all of the ingredients together and transfer the pot to the stove. Heat the cocoa on medium-low heat, mixing constantly with an emerging blender. Once the cocoa is warm, transfer it to a mug and enjoy.
