Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups vanilla protein shake
- ½ ounce Lily’s sugar free white chocolate chips (or finely chopped white chocolate)
Toppings (optional)
- Grated nutmeg or cinnamon
- White chocolate shavings
- Mini marshmallows
- Whipped cream
- Crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Heat the shake on stovetop: In a small pot, heat the vanilla protein shake over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Warm it until it is hot but not boiling, which usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate: Reduce the heat to low and add the sugar-free white chocolate chips to the warm shake. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth; this should take about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Alternative microwave method: Pour the vanilla protein shake and white chocolate chips into a large microwave-safe mug. Microwave for 1 ½ minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beverage is heated thoroughly and the chocolate is melted smoothly.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into a large mug if not already in one. Top with optional whipped cream and a sprinkle of grated nutmeg or cinnamon. Add additional toppings like white chocolate shavings, mini marshmallows, or crushed candy canes if desired.
Notes
- Use sugar-free white chocolate chips to keep the drink low in sugar.
- Heating slowly on the stove helps prevent the protein shake from scorching.
- The microwave method is faster and convenient but be careful not to overheat and curdle the protein shake.
- Optional toppings add flavor and festive presentation.
- Adjust sweetness by choosing different protein shakes or sweeteners.
