I always enjoyed a little warm drink around the campfire, but I had a hard time finding a replacement for the good-old packages of hot chocolate mixes that have trans-fat in them.
NESTLE HOT COCOA INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, VEGETABLE OIL (PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED COCONUT OR PALM KERNEL AND HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN), DAIRY PRODUCT SOLIDS (FROM MILK), COCOA PROCESSED WITH ALKALI, AND LESS THAN 2% OF SALT, CELLULOSE GUM, SODIUM CASEINATE, POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM CITRATE, SODIUM ALUMINOSILICATE, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, GUAR GUM, ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, SUCRALOSE. MADE ON EQUIPMENT THAT ALSO PROCESSES SOY AND WHEAT.
Harvard scientists studied Trans-Fat vs. Saturated Fat. All they were studying was heart disease, they weren't even thinking about a weight gain issue.
?Group A and B consumed same calories and fat
?Group A = Trans-fat
?Group B = Saturated-fat
Surprised to find?Group A gained 3 times as much weight!!! »A calorie isn?t just a calorie!
Here is my solution:
1 chocolate hazelnut tea bag
Few drops of chocolate stevia
1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
If you wanted to make it "a quadruple" hot chocolate, you could also add a TBS of unsweetened cocoa powder!
NUTRITIONAL COMPARISON (per serving)
Swiss Miss "SUGAR FREE" = 60 calories, 10 carbs, 7g sugar (using WATER)
"Healthified" Hot Chocolate = 40 calories, 0 fat, 0 protein, 1 carb, 0 SUGAR
