The state of ethical cocoa certification seems like kind of a mess, so I’m trying to figure out what else I can mix in my morning soy or whey protein powder hot drink to make it tasty, without having to worry that child slaves were beaten just so I could jumpstart my daily protein uptake without making a face. (Sweetness isn’t important either, I’ve been using plain unsweetened cocoa powder.)
There is no substitute for chocolate. I’d make a protein shake and blend in some fruit. Bananas and frozen berries are great.
