Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or sugar substitute
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, stevia or sugar substitute, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in about 1/4 cup of the low-fat milk to form a smooth paste. This prevents lumps from forming.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and gradually whisk in the remaining milk.
Step 4
Heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling, stirring continuously to prevent the milk from scorching.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Let the chocolate milk mixture cool for a few minutes, enough to prevent the ice cubes from melting too quickly.
Step 7
Fill a blender with the ice cubes and the cooled chocolate milk mixture. Blend on high speed until the ice is crushed and the mixture is frothy.
Step 8
Pour the iced chocolate drink into tall glasses.
Step 9
Garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious low-fat treat.
