    I've never tried the Nestle cocoa powder or the other brands. Maybe I'll give those a try

    I just recenlty bought the nesquick but it isn't as low in cal. So this is better.

    I have an aversion to this stuff because, as a kid, when we would run out of Nestle Quik, we would try to make it with this stuff...

    ...and that just does not work. Oh, sure, there may be a way to do it, but in our dozens of attempts, we didn't find it...

    ...which left us with something completely undrinkable.

    :sad:

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

    My mouth just started watering. I have to try this!!!

    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

    WHA????

    Yummy! I make mugcakes with the stuff. Very low-cal mugcakes, and sometimes not so low. I add it to chocolatey things that are not chocolatey enough.

    Hersheys makes me want to smash my face on something. So many other, better types of chocolate and chocolate powder.

    Agree. Droste is not bad for a store brand. Trader Joe's is good too. The thing about coco powder is to watch the sugar calories added to make it palatable.

    I make a Mocha with one heaping teaspoon coco powder, two teaspoons Splenda, one teaspoon instant espresso powder and almond milk. Satisfies the chocolate craving.

    i wish we had this in the UK :( haha I'll have to look around for an alternative!
    thanks for sharing though :)

    We do. It's bog standard cocoa powder and a load of Americans are acting as if it's something new and strange.

    Really? Is plain cocoa powder really a revelation to so many Americans?

    I've found, when not sweetening it (eg for my overnight oats), a little cinnamon helps take off the bitter edge.

    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!

    What's your recipe? I love cheesecake.

    I hunted her down. The recipe is toward the bottom of the page. I had forgotten all about that thread! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/461619-ny-cheesecake-morph?page=7

    umm i have this stuff and it tastes awful to me. i have tried it in many things and it does not satisfy any chocolate cravings. no sugar= no thanks, but that's just me!

    You gotta add some sweetener! Otherwise it just tastes bitter by itself because it's just all natural cocoa. I use Truvia and it tastes like I'm eating real chocolate

    You guys can look on youtube for cheesecake recipes. There are a lot of good ones on there. Doesn't have to be that one person's recipe

    This...Oishii... the green and blacks stuff is nice, as is good old bournville! A few other good brands out there too... Green and Black's is my fave though! ;) Plus they do the Maya Gold chocolate which to me is like chocolate orgasm divine!
