This stuff is heavenly; 1 serving (1tbsp)= 10 calories; 3g carbs, .5g fat, 1g protein, and 2g of fiber

Mix it in oatmeal and you have chocolate oatmeal
Mix it in protein shakes for chocolate flavor
Use it for protein cake or other homemade protein recipes
Use it for homemade cookies, pancakes, etc.

Use it in just about anything


Carries micronutrients as well. Here's an article about benefits of unsweetened cocoa if you care: http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefits-unsweetened-cocoa-powder-5662.html

Just thought I'd make you aware if you weren't. Go pick this up on your next grocery run and you'll thank me

    The dark chocolate is fantastic! Love it in oatmeal, with unsweetened shredded coconut, half a banana, almonds, vanilla, almond milk. Yummy!

    I use it to make chocolate peanut butter cheesecake that has around 30 grams of protein per serving and less than 350 calories in each slice with lower fat and moderate carb content. Tastes awesome!

    Forgot to mention you should add some sweetener (I use Truvia) and that makes a huge difference. I use 1tbsp of the cocoa and 1 packet of truvia sweetener and the oatmeal is bangin

    I like adding a spoonful to a peanut butter banana shake. Even better if you use a really high quality cocoa powder <3

    I seriously thought you meant you were straight up eating it out of the container at first. Jeez. I use it a lot, but I never thought of using it in oatmeal. :) Thanks for the idea.

    I used the special dark one. It's fabulous.
  • Hersheys makes me want to smash my face on something. So many other, better types of chocolate and chocolate powder.

    Yes! I made a protein shake that was AMAZING tonight to bump up my calories (I was under). Milk, PB, cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, ice and a packet of stevia blended. It tastes like a Reese's PB cup milkshake! Yum!:happy:


    I'll also add I used nestle toll house cocoa powder, not Hershey's. I prefer it over Hershey's personally.
