1 ½ tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Instructions

In a small saucepan, add plant-based milk, peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips, and sugar. Start with a minimum amount and adjust later to taste.
Bring the saucepan over medium heat, gently stirring often, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until it simmers (don't boil) and the chocolate chips and peanut butter are melted. If the peanut butter doesn't melt well, cool the mixture for 5 minutes, add to a blender and blend for a few seconds to smoothen.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of chili for a spicy touch, or ground cinnamon for a sweet note.
Serve immediately with a dollop of frothed soy milk or whipped coconut cream and a drizzle of peanut butter.

Notes

Note 1: The higher in protein, the thicker the hot chocolate will be. Soy milk is a great option. For a hot chocolate with fewer calories, use almond milk.

Note 2: We use vegan dark chocolate chips, however, sugar-free chocolate chips also work as a low-sugar option.

Note 3: Use any crystal sweetener you like. For lower calories and lower sugar, use sugar-free natural sweeteners like erythritol or allulose.
