Place the butter into a sauce pot and heat over high heat while whisking often. Stay close, the butter will froth up and turn brown. Immediately remove from heat.
Add the cocoa powder (or Equip chocolate protein powder), natural sweeteners, cinnamon and salt into a small pot. Heat over low heat and stir well to make a paste .
Slowly whisk in unsweetened almond milk. Heat over medium heat just until heated through. Do not boil. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Pour into 2 glasses and garnish with whipped cream if desired.
