Ingredients

  • 1 scoop BetterDays Chocolate Protein Powder

Microwave Method:

  • Pour your milk into a mug and microwave 60–90 seconds until hot.
  • Whisk in 1 scoop of BetterDays chocolate protein powder until completely smooth.
  • Add peppermint extract a tiny bit at a time — a little goes a long way.
  • Add a pinch of salt and whisk again.
  • Top with whipped cream, crushed candy cane, or chocolate shavings.

Stovetop:

  • Warm your milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steamy (don’t boil).
  • Whisk in the protein powder until smooth.
  • Add peppermint extract + salt, whisk, and pour into a mug.
