Hot Chocolate or Candy Cane Hot Chocolate!!

Just back from the gym from my first leg workout post competition... first one in about 3 weeks!  Would love to say I killed it, but no such luck... it killed me!  Hamstrings decided they wanted no part of it and seized up solid.  But on the way home, snow was falling, sun was shining and it put me right into the Christmas spirit, so much so I might even brave the malls today! =/  But it also put me in the mood for one of my favourite protein beverages... Hot Chocolate!! :)  Here is how I make it:

First, put the kettle on. ;) While the water is boiling mix up about 1/4 cup of milk or cold water with a scoop of protein.  Using a shaker cup works fine for this, but if you give it a good zazz in the magic bullet it makes your hot chocolate nice and frothy!   To make candy cane hot chocolate vs. regular hot chocolate, add 2-3 drops of peppermint flavouring.  Careful!! Peppermint flavouring is VERY strong, a little goes a long way!  Put this mixture into your mug and once your water is boiled, top up the cup with hot water, stir, and enjoy!  If feeling extra indulgent (once again, like I did) top off with some fat free whipped cream.

**TIP**  NEVER put hot water into your shaker and think you can get a good hot protein beverage by shaking it up the same as a cold shake.  Instead what you get is a big mess all over your kitchen counter, walls, and self, due to an exploding beverage.  I learned this the hard way and I am passing this advice on to you!!


Enjoy your hot chocolate and your weekend!  Happy Friday! :)

    Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Finding the time
    and actual effort to generate a really good article… but what can I
    say… I put things off a whole lot and don't manage to get anything done.

    Greetings, I think your site could be having internet browser compatibility problems.
    When I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, when
    opening in Internet Explorer, it's got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, wonderful website!

    biz member, Ed Bankos' personal invitation, I invite you to check out the site. There are alternatives to having a skin tag froze, burned or cut off. This method typically involves some pain or discomfort.

    Does your website have a contact page? I'm having problems locating it
    but, I'd like to shoot you an e-mail. I've got some recommendations for your
    blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and
    I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
