Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate (11g Protein!)

This is not your average hot chocolate! With the addition of pumpkin spice, True Sea Moss Gel in Pumpkin flavour, cacao powder, high protein soy milk, and just a touch of unrefined coconut sugar this pumpkin spice hot chocolate is SO good for you! Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and 11g of protein per serving. 

In addition to being as healthy as a protein shake, this protein hot chocolate also only takes 5 minutes to make! While also getting the fun add-on options like marshmallows or coconut whip!

If you've ever bought pre-made hot chocolate mix (let's be honest we all have), let this be your sign to never do so again. Those box mixes are made with low quality, processed ingredients, and have more sugar than you really need to get your hot chocolate fix. Once you try this pumpkin spice hot chocolate I promise, you'll never go back!
