Worked out from the ingredients. How we work out our numbers
Ingredients
- 250 ml Whole milk
- 30 g Whey protein powder (or plant)
- 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 1 whole Medjool dates (pitted)
- 0.3 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract
Method
- 1
Tear the 1 pitted Medjool date into small pieces so it will break down easily in the blender.
- 2
Whisk 1 tbsp of cocoa powder into 250ml of whole milk in a small saucepan while it is still cold, so it does not clump. Set it over medium-low heat and warm for 5 minutes, whisking, until it steams and the cocoa has fully dissolved. Keep it below a boil.
- 3
Take the pan off the heat and let it stand for 1 minute, then pour it into a blender with the torn date, 30g of whey protein powder, a quarter teaspoon of ground cinnamon and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend for 30 seconds until completely smooth. Adding the protein once the milk has stopped steaming is what stops it turning grainy.

Pour into a mug and drink while it is still warm.
