Healthy Red Velvet Hot Chocolate. A delicious, low carb, high protein treat.

Notes

*If you are using a vegan protein, you will want to add more stevia as vegan powders tend to be less sweet. **For beet puree: Wash beats and roast them for 1 hour at 400F. Let cool and remove skins. Place in a food processor or blender until pureed.

Ingredients

1 c unsweetened almond milk
32g chocolate protein powder PEScience 30% OFF code PBCHOCO
1/4 c roasted beet puree
1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocao powder
stevia to taste
pinch sea salt
cocao nibs for sprinkles
marshmallows if desired

Instructions

Place the beet puree, almond milk, protein, cocao powder, salt and stevia into a blend and blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a small pot over low-medium heat. Remove from heat just before the hot chocolate begins to boil. Pour into a serving glass and top with cocao nibs and marshmallows if desired. Enjoy!
