Don't just settle for plain hot chocolate this year. Expand your horizons without expanding your waistline with this fabulous, rich and creamy latte.
Ingredients
8 oz skim Milk
3 Hershey Candy Cane Kisses, unwrapped and roughly chopped
1 Tbsp instant Coffee
1 Tbsp powdered Cocoa
2 Tbsp unflavored Protein Powder
1 packet of Truvia
Instructions
In a glass measuring cup that will hold at least one cup of liquid, heat milk in the microwave for 1 ½ to 2 minutes or until the milk is hot and steaming, but not boiling. Stir in the chopped Candy Cane Kisses and coffee. Return to the microwave for an additional 20 seconds.
Stir with a small whisk until the candies are dissolved. Whisk in the protein powder. Drink hot.
Notes
You can also use a shot of strong coffee or espresso instead of the instant coffee.
You could also just use 3 Tbsp of chocolate protein powder instead of using cocoa.
If you like more of the Candy Cane Kisses flavor, chop up another one or two.
You can certainly add the Truvia or use regular or raw sugar or honey instead.
And lastly, I still like that Bailey' idea. I may have to run with that next time!
