This 3-ingredient Protein White Hot Chocolate recipe is too easy not to share. I always make it. I always go there on cold nights!
High Protein White Hot Chocolate
When I want hot chocolate, I usually eat white hot chocolate. One night, while trying to meet my protein goal, I made this simple, protein-packed white hot chocolate. I happily microwaved it and it immediately became my favorite dish to eat on cold nights. You can also boil it on the stove. It gives you a cozy feeling while satisfying all your sweet and protein goals in one cozy cup! For more festive drinks, try the Frozen Hot Chocolate, Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Pomegranate Martini.
Why you’ll love this high-protein snack
Call me weird, but I prefer white hot chocolate to traditional hot cocoa. I don’t like caffeine, but when I want something hot and sweet, I like Starbucks’ white chocolate hot chocolate. So I really loved this Homemade White Hot Chocolate with Premade Vanilla Protein Shake. (Don’t use powder here, it won’t taste good)!

white hot chocolate ingredients
This simple white hot chocolate recipe requires just three ingredients to create a warm and cozy treat. See recipe card for exact measurements.
- Vanilla Protein Shake: The taste of this drink will depend on the vanilla protein shake you choose, so choose your favorite. I do not recommend using protein powder. This is because it tends to be too rough and doesn’t blend well. I tested several liquid protein shakes and found that Fairlife Nutrition Plan Vanilla and Orgain Clean Protein Shake in Vanilla Bean worked best.
- White Chocolate Chips: I use Lily’s sugar-free white chocolate chips to cut down on carbs, but any brand will work, including chopping up a white chocolate bar.
- spices: Add some warming spices like cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
- Optional toppings: Top your mug with white chocolate chips, white chocolate shavings, mini marshmallows, whipped cream or crushed candy canes for a festive look.
