Hot Cocoa
Meal: 122 cal Protein: 1 g Carbs: 21 g Fat: 2 g
Our hot cocoa is less than half the calories of standard hot cocoa and with most of the calories from sugar and dairy fat. And you won't miss the calories or the sweetness because we'll replace it with plenty of other flavors. Here we've included many alternatives to the original.
DAIRY: 1% Cow’s Milk (better than non-fat because that has a lot of fillers/chemicals)
ALTERNAIVE DAIRY: Oat Milk, Almond Milk, Coconut Milk, Soy Milk, Hemp Milk, or Rice Milk
SWEETENER: Raw Sugar, Date Syrup, Maple Syrup, Agave Syrup, Honey
FLAVOR: The base has Vanilla Extract, but there are infinite options for FLAVOR
* ZEST– Citrus zest adds a ton of flavor; stay away from juice, it can curdle the texture
* COFFEE/ESPRESSO – Fine grind or packets (Avia from Starbucks are really good
* EXTRACTS/OILS - tangerine, peppermint, almond, and others
Some of My Favorite 2.5 FLAVOR Combos include:
* SALTED CARAMEL: Blackstrap Molasses & Sea Salt
* 50/50 Bar: Vanilla Extract, Orange Zest or Tangerine Oil
* PEPPERMINT: Peppermint Extract or Candy Stir Stick
* GREEN TEA LATTE: Matcha, Ginger, and Maple (for sweetener)
* CHOCOLATE LOVER: Cocoa Powder
* NIGHT OWL: Cocoa Powder & Espresso
* MEXICAN COCOA: Cocoa Powder & Cinnamon
* OLE MOLE: Cocoa, Orange Zest, Cinnamon, Ancho Chili Powder, Nutmeg, Cloves
