MAJOR ED LIFE HACK: Hot Chocolate
Idk how it took me this long to discover this but I just made amazing hot chocolate and it was only 57 cals for a whole mug!!! LIFE HACK OF THE YEAR
Craving something sweet? Want to feel full at a low cost? Need something warm? HOT CHOCOLATE BABEY
I Used Low cal plant milk/almond milk to make mine and of course calorie-free Stevia/sweetener instead of sugar.
Most cocoa powders are between 300-400 calories per 100 grams but you only need like 10-20 grams for a mug depending how thick and rich you want it. So that’s like 30-50 calories at most.
Also BONUS POINTS if you have a milk foamer/steamer, frothing the milk adds SO much dimension to the texture + easily heats up your milk.
Here’s my REIPE FOR LOW CAL HOT CHOCOLATE!!!
Recipe:
10 grams hot chocolate or cocoa powder (approx. 36 cals for 10 g)
Almond milk/your favorite plant milk ~ 100-200mL or as much as you desire ofc (approx. 44 cal per 200 mL for almond milk)
Low calorie Sweeteners e.g stevia, saccharine (0-5 cals)
Spices i.e cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla (optional)!
Milk foamer/steamer
Total cals: 50-80 cals per serving depending on amounts and products used
The Process:
Add desired amount of cocoa powder into your favorite tall mug
Pour in your milk of choice
Steam or froth your milk with the cocoa powder to heat it up and make it velvety
Add in sweetener to dissolve well + froth some more to mix it in
Add hot water (if more volume/less thickness is desired)
Add spices (optional)
Voilà - ENJOY!!!

The pain of putting a hot beverage into a thermos only to realize that you put your drink in too hot, and now you can only 1. drink in pain and sadness or 2. wait for your drink to very slowly cool down.
