Protein Sparing Frozen Hot Chocolate
One of my favorite movies to watch during the holiday season is Serendipity. It is a cute romantic comedy about how life is serendipitous. I love watching the characters Jonathan and Sara gallivant around New York City during Christmas as they start to fall in love. One place they stop at is Serendipity for a frozen hot chocolate. Here is a short clip:
I often dream of owning a cute place like Serendipity where I would sell my healthy desserts like this protein sparing Frozen Hot Chocolate recipe!
Someday I hope to take my boys to New York during the holidays to see all the magic. But in the meantime we will enjoy the magic in our home.
