For example, cow\u2019s milk (such as skim or whole milk) and soymilk contain much more protein than unfortified almond milk or oat milk.<\/p>\n<p>Different brands and types of chocolate protein powders will also give you varying amounts of protein. Compare brands at the store to find your preference.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite way to add both protein and thickness is to stir in a spoonful of heart healthy peanut butter when making hot chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>You can also sprinkle some chia seeds on top for added iron, calcium, protein, fiber, and other nutritional benefits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"1155\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Hot Chocolate Protein Mix Recipe (Dairy Free, Sugar Free)\" class=\"wp-image-113084\" title=\"Hot Chocolate Protein Mix Recipe (Dairy Free, Sugar Free)\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/chocolatecoveredkatie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Hot-Chocolate-Protein-Mix-Recipe-Dairy-Free-Sugar-Free.png 550w, https:\/\/chocolatecoveredkatie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Hot-Chocolate-Protein-Mix-Recipe-Dairy-Free-Sugar-Free-143x300.png 143w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/chocolatecoveredkatie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Hot-Chocolate-Protein-Mix-Recipe-Dairy-Free-Sugar-Free.png\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"1155\" src=\"https:\/\/chocolatecoveredkatie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Hot-Chocolate-Protein-Mix-Recipe-Dairy-Free-Sugar-Free.png\" alt=\"Hot Chocolate Protein Mix Recipe (Dairy Free, Sugar Free)\" class=\"wp-image-113084\" title=\"Hot Chocolate Protein Mix Recipe (Dairy Free, Sugar Free)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chocolatecoveredkatie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Hot-Chocolate-Protein-Mix-Recipe-Dairy-Free-Sugar-Free.png 550w, https:\/\/chocolatecoveredkatie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Hot-Chocolate-Protein-Mix-Recipe-Dairy-Free-Sugar-Free-143x300.png 143w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The recipe was adapted from my <a href=\"https:\/\/chocolatecoveredkatie.com\/vegan-hot-chocolate-recipe\/\">Vegan Hot Chocolate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-112944\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"112944\" data-servings=\"0\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-cck-food\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredients-container wprm-recipe-ingredients-no-images wprm-recipe-112944-ingredients-container wprm-block-text-normal wprm-ingredient-style-regular wprm-recipe-images-before\" data-recipe=\"112944\" data-servings=\"0\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-group\">\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredients\">\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" style=\"list-style-type: disc;\" data-uid=\"3\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">milk<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes-normal\">of choice<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" style=\"list-style-type: disc;\" data-uid=\"0\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1\/4<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">cup<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">chocolate protein powder<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes-normal\">(30g)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" style=\"list-style-type: disc;\" data-uid=\"1\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">tbsp<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">cocoa powder<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient\" style=\"list-style-type: disc;\" data-uid=\"2\"><span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-amount\">1<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-unit\">tbsp<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-name\">pure maple syrup<\/span> <span class=\"wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes wprm-recipe-ingredient-notes-normal\">or sweetener of choice<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions-container wprm-recipe-112944-instructions-container wprm-block-text-normal\" data-recipe=\"112944\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\">\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\">\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-112944-step-0-0\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-text\"><span style=\"display: block;\">Stir the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, milk of choice, and sweetener in a small saucepan.
