Feeling upset that you may not be able to enjoy your cocoa this winter? Fear not! I have found the solution.

1.5 cups silk almond milk, unsweetened
1 cup torani sugar free chocolate syrup

steam milk in sauce pan, pour in to cup, add syrup to taste.

total damage: 53 cals.

You're welcome, Happy Holidays! ;)

    Thanks. I'll have to try the sugar free syryp. I use:

    1 cup Blue Diamond Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla milk
    1 tbsp unsweetened coco powder
    1-2 packages of spenda to sweeten

    50 calories. Yummy

    I'm really lazy. I go for Nestle Fat Free- 20 cals. This sounds good though!

    Thats good! Here's Mine:

    instant cocoa mix/store in airtight container or plastic zip lock bag -- 22 servings -- 94 calories (with white granulated sugar)

    3.5 cups dry milk powder
    3/4 cups cocoa powder
    2 tsp salt (optional, but it does help the taste)
    1.5 cups suger (substitute fake if you want, I tried it and I hate fake)

    3 heaping tsp in a cup of hot water.

    Totally worth the calories, and it's my dairy serving. It doesn't make my stomach gurgle like brand name instants.

    This is one of the best threads I've ever seen on this site. I feel it my DUTY to try each and every one of these through the month of December... purely for scientific reasons. :-)

    Yes you should. Don't forget to add in flavors like peppermint and vanilla, or coffee.

    You can also get several complimentary flavors from the torani line in sugar free variety. I am loving their stuff!

    Yep, that is my recipe too!!! Except I use 2 T. Hershey's special dark cocoa powder and 2 packets of Stevia. :) If I'm feeling extra chocolately, I add 1 Dove Special dark chocolate promise (42 cals!) to it. DELICIOUS!!
