Low Cal Sugar Free Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate is one heck of a delicious cold night comfort- HOWEVER it's laden with calories from saturated fat and sugar- two huge no-no's to those of us out there watching our figures!

My solution? My recipe for Low Cal Sugar Free Hot Chocolate....granted it's not going to be the "liquid chocolate in a cup" you might be able to get from the double chocolate triple fudge at the coffee shop around the corner- but it's got enough chocolate punch to satisfy any chocolate craving and the warm beverage keeps you hot and happy on cool nights!!

LOW CAL SUGAR FREE HOT CHOCOLATE
  • 1 cup boiling water (OR for creamier flavor use 1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk)
  • 2 TBSP Unsweetened Hershey's Cocoa
  • 2 TSP Fat Free Coffeemate
  • Stevia to taste ( I use more then usual in mine to give it some extra sweetness)

Bring the water or milk to a boil (I just microwave mine on high for about 3 minutes), then stir in the cocoa, coffeemate, and stevia.

Each cup made with water packs NEXT to NOTHING in Calories (approx 10) and if you add the unsweetened almond milk you're looking at about 40-45 calories per cup depending on the brand of Almond Milk you use!
