Share
When the weather calls for a warm, comforting drink, this high-protein Chunky Monkey Hot Cocoa delivers all the cozy vibes with a twist. Delicious peanut butter, rich chocolate, and a hint of banana essence come together in one dreamy, protein-packed mug to satisfy your cravings while keeping things indulgent and guilt-free.
This isn’t just hot cocoa—it’s an experience. Packed with protein and full of flavour, it’s the perfect way to unwind after a long day or to fuel your afternoon with a little extra sweetness. Think of it as dessert, your pick-me-up, or even your new winter ritual.
Here's How
- 1 cup milk of choice (we recommend Fairlife for the extra protein)
- 3 tbsp HelloAmino Cocoa mix
- 1 tbsp peanut butter powder (can also be found in organic grocery store aisle)
- 1/4 tsp banana extract (or 30g banana, mashed)
Instructions:
In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, cocoa mix and peanut butter powder over medium heat until warm (but not boiling). Alternatively heat it in an electric frother or microwave at 30 second intervals just until warm.
Add in the banana extract and stir until combined. If using real banana pour the mixture into a blender with the mashed banana and blend until smooth. This will give a thicker texture.
Pour into a mug, top with your favourite garnish, and sip your way to happiness.

(If you have a peanut allergy you can use almond butter but it will increase the fat and change the texture)
