Recipes for High Protein Hot Chocolate and Cappuccino!

Here are 4 new recipes for High Protein Hot Chocolate and High Protein Cappuccino! They are made using the high protein hot chocolate or vanilla cappuccino packets in our office (15 grams of protein for only 80 calories, and super-simple,  they dissolve easily, available on SeacoastNutrition.com), but you can get a similar effect by substituting 1 1/2 scoops of whey protein, 1 tsp cocoa powder or instant coffee depending on the recipe, and sweetener of your choice, such as 1-2 packets of a stevia-based or monk fruit-based calorie-free sweetener. If you'd like to try a packet, stop by the office, we'll give you one!
