This collagen hot chocolate is the ultimate way to warm up your day while nourishing your body with added health benefits. Can easily be made paleo!

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons (9 grams) collagen peptides see notes
  • 1 tablespoon (9 grams) cocoa powder I recommend Dutch-process
  • 3-4 teaspoons granulated sugar or coconut sugar or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk see notes
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Instructions

Stovetop directions:

  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the collagen, cocoa powder and granulated or coconut sugar, if using.
    4 teaspoons (9 grams) collagen peptides, 1 tablespoon (9 grams) cocoa powder, 3-4 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • Stir in the milk, maple syrup (if using), vanilla and salt.
    1/2 cup (120 ml) milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch salt
  • Heat over medium-high heat, stirring until the powder is completely dissolved and it's hot enough for your liking.

Frother directions:

  • Add all of the ingredients to an electric milk frother (add the milk and then all the rest). Froth for 45 second or until it turns off if you have a frother that turns off automatically when it's done frothing. If you have different settings, choose one that heats and froths.

How to store:

  • Cool, cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Notes

  • For a paleo version, use nut milk with only nuts, salt and water in it. Use coconut sugar or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar.
  • I've only tested this recipe with 100% collagen peptides.
