INGREDIENTS
•
2 tsp cocoa powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 tablespoons whipping cream OR 2 tablespoons half and half

1/3 cup low fat cottage cheese
•
1/2 tsp vanilla extract **
•
1/4 tsp rum extract **
•
1/4 tsp. orange extract**
•
2 tablespoons Gentle Sweet or 4 teaspoons Truvia or Pyure (or more, make this taste like a dessert to you)
•
1 tiny pinch of salt (when chocolate and stevia are involved I always use salt)
•
1/4 cup strong brewed and cooled coffee (I make it stronger than usual or just add in some instant espresso or good quality instant to get a stronger flavor)
•
OR just add 1 tsp espresso powder instead of the coffee for a quick fix
•
1/2 scoop (2 tablespoons) Pristine Whey Protein or on plan plain protein powder (I love THM’s)

Optional 1/4 tsp. xanthan gum
