3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 ounce dark chocolate, cut into small pieces

2-1/2 cups fat-free milk

 

Combine all the ingredients except for the milk into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil and add the milk gradually as you stir. Boil for one minute and continue to stir, then remove it from the heat, let it cool and refrigerate it before eating.

To make this recipe even healthier, swap out the fat-free milk for some almond milk and substitute the sugar for raw honey or organic maple syrup. We also recommend topping this tasty treat with fresh fruits like blueberries and strawberries!
