- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Thickening Agent:

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and cornstarch over medium heat.

- For a lower-calorie option, substitute maple syrup with stevia or another low-calorie sweetener.
