🥤 Protein-Packed Chocolate Milk (Microwave Method)

☕️ Got a microwave and a craving? Here's a quick and cosy way to whip up a chocolate milk drink right at your desk:

🧪 Ingredients (Single Serving)​

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½–1 teaspoon sweetener (stevia, erythritol, or maple syrup — adjust to taste)
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat)
  • Optional: pinch of salt, ¼ tsp vanilla extract, cinnamon

🔥 Microwave Instructions​

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, mix cocoa powder, sweetener, and a splash of milk to form a smooth paste.
  2. Stir in the protein powder until well combined.
  3. Add the rest of the milk and stir thoroughly.
  4. Microwave for 1–1½ minutes, watching closely to avoid boiling over.
  5. Stir again and enjoy warm — or chill it for a cold version!

💡 Tips & Variations​

  • For a frothy finish, stir vigorously or shake in a sealed jar after heating.
  • Want it creamier? Add a teaspoon of nut butter or a splash of cream.
  • For a plant-based boost, use pea or soy protein and oat milk.

This version gives you a satisfying chocolate fix with less sugar and more protein — perfect for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or post-lunch recharge.
