I feel seriously deprived.
I’ve never actually had frozen hot chocolate, so I can’t honestly claim to be an expert.
But I really, really, really want to try it. Does that count?
Can someone please teleport me to New York City so I can taste the famous Serendipity frozen hot chocolate?
And while you’re at it, please take me to buy Christian Louboutin shoes, a stylish purse, and maybe a very generous companion.
Sorry, Mr. How Sweet – I clearly need a little help. It would save us both some money, I promise.
See? I’m full of ideas.
Can I just take a moment to gush about how incredible this frozen hot chocolate is?
I promise I’m not usually this over-the-top in person.
(Though ask different family members and you might get different answers.)
It has protein. It has chocolate. It tastes like a little bite of heaven — and it isn’t loaded with hundreds of unnecessary calories.
I’m in love.
Frozen Hot Chocolate – A Healthier Version
Ingredients:
- 1 cup skim milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, frozen (freeze 1–2 hours)
- 2–3 tablespoons organic cocoa powder
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon organic sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon reduced-fat chocolate syrup
- 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
- 1/4 cup crushed ice
- Whipped cream or whipped topping, for serving
Instructions:
Freeze a cup of Greek yogurt for at least 1–2 hours. When the yogurt is firm, add all ingredients except the whipped cream to a blender. Blend on high for 1–2 minutes, or until smooth and well combined. Pour into a glass and top with whipped cream if desired.
I’ll be right back — I need to go water my money tree in the backyard.
