Easy Non-Dairy Hot Cocoa
Of course, you can just heat up your favorite chocolate-flavored soymilk, but if you have only plain soymilk in the house you can flavor it in different ways. For a dark, rich-tasting brew, use Dutch cocoa; for a milder drink, use regular cocoa powder. Soy protein isolate powder makes this very creamy.
Ingredients
1 cup very hot soymilk
½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon unbleached sugar
1 tablespoon GeniSoy Natural Chocolate Shake Powder
¼ teaspoon vanilla, or ⅛ teaspoon almond or peppermint extract
Directions
Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Remove the plastic center part of the blender lid, and cover it with a folded tea towel before blending. This prevents steam build-up inside the blender which can cause hot liquid to explode. Blend until smooth. Pour into a mug and serve immediately.
Microwave Option:
Use cold soymilk. Pour all the ingredients into a large microwave-safe mug (large enough to prevent boil-overs), and microwave on high for 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Whisk before serving.
Yield: 1 serving
