    2 large tbsp Hershey's cocoa powder; 1 tsp stevia; 8 oz water (yup, water.) ~ 20 calories.

    I make mine with unsweetened cacao powder, 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk and 2 packets of stevia, pretty much the only calories are from the almond milk so it's under 100 cal

    Yep, that's what I do as well. To make it, put the cocoa powder and stevia in a coffee mug. Pour the almond milk very slowly, stirring it well to make kind of a *paste* w/ the cocoa powder, then keep stirring and add the rest of the milk. Microwave a minute, stir, and if you really feel chocolatey, then add a Dove Dark promise or a few dark chocolate chips. Microwave again, stir, and enjoy!

    ...try warming up a cup of Almond Breeze milk chocolate Almond milk (unsweeten) and add stevia to taste. It's a really good treat and it's only 40 cals per cup.

    There's a dark chocolate kind too, but it's 120 cals per cup.
    Enjoy!

    I use 3 C. crushed ice and water (more water than ice) in blender with 2 Tbsp. Hershey's Coco powder and 6 or so packs of Stevia.

    I like the Scharffenberger 100% cocoa, but that's just me dissenting from the Hershey's folks. :)
