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.
