- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (or honey, or sugar-free sweetener)
Instructions

- Whisk all ingredients thoroughly until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Notes
- For added crunch and protein, optional toppings include crushed nuts or fresh fruit.
