| Method | Mix, froth and top up with hot water |
| Flavour | Chocolatey and creamy; gently spiced if desired |
Ingredients
- 1 serving Mitchells Nutrition Chocolate Bone Broth Protein Powder (use the serving size on your pack)
- 1 serving Mitchells Nutrition Creavitalis® Creatine Monohydrate (for adults, follow the current label; the manufacturer specifies 5g)
- A little hot water to start, plus extra to fill your mug
- Milk of your choice, to taste
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or a little pure cacao powder
How to make it
- Start with a little liquid. Add a splash of hot water and some milk to the bottom of a heat-safe mug.
- Add your powders. Stir in the chocolate bone broth protein and the labelled serving of creatine. Add cinnamon or cacao if you enjoy a deeper chocolate flavour.
- Mix until smooth. Use a spoon or handheld milk frother. If using a frother, keep the whisk fully submerged and be careful with hot liquid and splashes.
- Top it up. Add more hot water until the drink reaches your preferred strength and consistency. Stir again if needed.
- Enjoy freshly made. Take a moment to savour a cosy, chocolatey mug.
Why combine these two Mitchells Nutrition products?
Chocolate bone broth protein gives the drink its chocolate flavour and contributes protein as part of your daily diet. Creatine monohydrate is a separate ingredient involved in the body's short-term ATP energy system; it has been researched most extensively for repeated high-intensity exercise and strength training. Creatine is not a caffeine-like stimulant.
Because Mitchells Creavitalis® is unflavoured, you can add it to a drink you already enjoy without creating a second competing flavour. These two products have different purposes; combining them is about convenience, not a claim that they work better together.
Little ways to make it your own
- Extra comforting: try cinnamon and a little more milk for a softer, creamier finish.
- Richer chocolate: add a little pure cacao powder, as suggested by Mitchells Nutrition.
- Simpler to portion: if you have the Mitchells Bone Broth Protein Powder sachets, choose the chocolate flavour and check its package serving directions.
- No frother? Stir the powders thoroughly with a small amount of liquid first, making a smooth paste, then slowly add the remaining water.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a coffee replacement?
It can be an alternative warm drink if you enjoy something different from coffee, but it is not intended to reproduce caffeine's immediate stimulant effect.
Do I need to drink it before or after exercising?
Mitchells Nutrition emphasises consistent daily creatine intake rather than a specific minute before or after training. Follow your product's label and your own professional health advice.
Can I make it without creatine?
Yes. Chocolate bone broth protein can be prepared as a warm drink by itself according to its pack directions.
