Dark Chocolate Pro-Co-Coa

Dark Chocolate Pro-Co-Coa

A variation on the recipe I use the most, this deep, dark chocolate drink is one of many different variations I will be posting over the next few weeks. For all the basics on tips and how to make my Pro-Co-Coas, make sure to read the original recipe. The Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa is an essential part of this recipe. Not only does it make for a rich, dark chocolate flavor – it makes the cocoa a dark, dark almost black brown color.

2 cups hot water
1 1/2 scoops chocolate protein powder (for testing we used Unjury Chocolate Splendor Whey Protein Powder (150 calories, 30 grams protein)
1 1/2 tablespoons Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa (30 calories, 1.5 grams protein)
1 tablespoon chocolate sugar free syrup (Torani or DaVinci)
Dash vanilla extract
Mix everything together in a 20-ounce or larger mug or cup. Enjoy hot.

Makes one serving.
