As a chocoholic, I welcome any opportunity to take in chocolate in whatever shape or form. As long as it’s dark and rich without being completely devoid of sweetness, I welcome it in open arms!
Here’s a great recipe for a nice, rich hot chocolate drink that also benefits from being low in fat and sugar. (Sometimes when I want a bit of an extra kick I might throw in a tablespoon of whisky, but I’m just as good without it.)
INGREDIENTS – Serves 1
2 teaspoons truvia (or 2 tablespoons sugar)
2 tablespoons HERSHEY’S Cocoa
Dash salt
1 cup skimmed milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in large mug.
Heat milk in microwave at HIGH (100%) 1-1/2 minutes or until hot.
Gradually add hot milk to cocoa mixture in mug, stirring until well blended.
Stir in vanilla.
