Calling all chocoholics: If you’re in the camp that firmly believes hot chocolate is to be consumed all-year-round, and not just in winter (us too) – you may want to give MyProtein’s protein hot chocolate a try.

It goes without saying that Myprotein is well known in the protein drinks arena, with many cool protein shakes and drinks in the brand’s line-up to try. But, if you’re after something a little more warming (yes, even in the summer) that’s made with your fitness goals and targets in mind, this could just hit the spot.

Together with fitness-focused food and drinks such as protein-packed pancakes for breakfast and protein-filled snacks, the chocolate powder is touted to help gym goers build and maintain their muscle mass, and could be perfect for satisfing a sweet tooth while boosting your gains.

Myprotein’s protein hot chocolate is made with, you guessed it, cocoa powder, but to make it a protein-packed alternative to other supermarket hot chocolate, it also contains a blend of milk protein concentrate (which Myprotein labels as PeptoPro) along with micellar casein. This means that the drink ends up with a generous 14g of protein per serving.

What’s more, if you’re trying to keep an eye on how much sugar you’re consuming, this protein hot chocolate is made with 70 per cent less of the sweet stuff, and less carbohydrates than typical hot chocolate powders you might find in the supermarket. Whether you’re going to plump for marshmallows and whipped cream or go without, this sounds like a delicious protein boost that we can certainly get on board with.
