Dark and dreary day here in az with a high of 54 right now... all I want to do is stay under the covers but I've got work to do.

So today I was going through the forums and found the "protein" post and while I was giving advice and recipes I got some inspiration on this cold day.. HOT CHOCOLATE!!

Yumm yumm yumm!!!

I could improve it but it was good for the first try..

4oz skim milk

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

pinch of cinnamon

1 scoop designer whey chocolate protein powder

I made it like old fashioned Hot Chocolate on the stove.. milk, then dumped eveything else in and stirred until it started to bubble.

I could have made it creamier by adding some yogurt or non-dairy creamer, and the sugar free chocolate pudding but honestly the way I made it is good too. And I won't feel guilty when I go back for more later HA! lol

Ok in other news... It's official!!! My surgery is now back on the 18th, better day, better number, more recovery time! WOOHOO and I may, may just be able to eat something come Christmas LOL... But now this puts me EXACTLY where I want to be. I'm SO excited! YAY ME!!!

I miss hot chocolate! Here in cold, gloomy Missouri where it's going to be 10 degrees Wednesday night. Thanks so much for the recipe. I will definately try this!

You're welcome! let me know how you like it! :sneaky:

I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. Its been cold here in Georgia, too. Sounds good.

Congrats on your Surgery Date!
