Equipment
- milk frother or whisk
- large microwave safe mug
- measuring spoons
- spoon
- microwave
- grater optional
Ingredients
- 2 tsp hot chocolate mix
- 2 tbsp chocolate collagen powder
- 6 oz 2% milk
- 4 oz water
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- whipped cream, marshamallows, or cold foam optional
Instructions
Heat the Milk in the Microwave:
- Pour 6–8 oz of milk into a large, microwave-safe mug (big enough to prevent sloshing). Heat on high for 1–1.5 minutes, or until hot but not boiling. Add water at this stage if desired.
Add Powders on Top:
- Sprinkle the hot chocolate mix and chocolate collagen powder directly onto the hot milk.
Blend with a Milk Frother:
- Use a milk frother to mix everything until smooth and creamy. Tip: Use a gentle motion to avoid splashing if your mug isn’t large enough.
Optional: Add Sea Salt:
- Stir or froth in 1/4 tsp sea salt for a sweet-salty twist.
Optional Top with Whipped Cream, Marshmallows, or Cold Foam:
- For whipped cream: Add a dollop on top of the hot chocolate. For cold foam: Froth 1–2 tbsp milk or heavy cream in a frother, then gently spoon it over the drink.
