5 INGREDIENT FROZEN HOT COCOA
(High Protein / Gluten-Free / Quick & Easy)

If you grew up on hot chocolate packets, you know the nostalgia — and the sugar crash that usually followed. This Frozen Hot Chocolate Protein Drink is a modern upgrade that keeps the cozy chocolate flavor but skips the ingredient overload.

Rich, creamy, and surprisingly refreshing, this recipe comes together in about two minutes and feels like a treat that actually satisfies. By using MariGold’s Rich Chocolate Malt Whey Isolate, you get real protein that helps keep you full, balanced energy, and that classic chocolatey comfort — just colder.

It’s perfect for those days when you want something festive but light, indulgent but functional. Whether you’re team hot cocoa or frozen drinks year-round, this one hits the sweet spot without overdoing the sugar.

If you want a cozy HOT cocoa, try our Hot Cocoa Collagen Peptides, which can be enjoyed hot or cold!

Recipe from @lifewith.deedee

I love all things apple flavored for fall so I knew I had to make some apple pie protein yogurts. These are perfect for meal prep too! Here’s how I made this

1 c greek yogurt
1 tbsp sf cheesecake pudding mix
1 scoop vanilla protein powder @marigoldfoodstx
Mix together until smooth and refrigerate
When ready to serve add 1/3 c sf apple pie filling. You can top with apple pie spice, whipped cream & caramel, sometimes I add graham cracker crumbs or granola too
