Whether the weather is bleak or you're simply in need of a little sweet treat; a hot chocolate is a comforting choice any time of day.

A traditional hot chocolate comes loaded with sugar and topped with whipped cream, but our UP version is low in sugar and packed with protein - without skimping on taste! This recipe uses just three ingredients and takes three minutes to prepare.

We've steamed our milk to give a frothy, creamy texture paired with a white or milk chocolate whey protein to create a deliciously decadent hot chocolate recipe that won't derail your diet.

Ingredients:

• 200ml full-fat milk (you can use almond milk if you are lactose intolerant)
• 25g chocolate whey protein
• 1 scoop UP Chocotrients

Method:

1. Steam your milk in a saucepan or milk steamer, until it is hot, light and frothy.
2. Pour a little out into a small cup.
3. Add the whey protein and Chocotrients and stir well to combine.
4. Pour into a mug and top with the remaining frothy milk.
5. Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
