Can anyone tell me where I can buy unsweetened cocoa powder as normal stuff has quite a few carbs?
Can anyone tell me where I can buy unsweetened cocoa powder as normal stuff has quite a few carbs?
Are you sure of those numbers? The G&B one in my supermarket was higher than the Cadburys when I compared them? I may be missing a trick.I have Green & Black's organic cocoa 125g tub, which is 12.5g carbs per 100g, of which 0.4g is sugars and there's no added sugar.
They sell it in Sainsbury's, Ocado, (currently on offer at 1.76), Tesco, Morrisons and Waitrose. Unless on offer, Morrisons sells it generally around a few pence cheaper.
It's really good, just make sure you buy the cocoa not the hot chocolate because if in a hurry you could pick up the hot chocolate instead.
For anyone in the USA. I recommend the Hershey's 100% natural unsweetened cocoa too. Before I found Green & Black's I used to buy that.
That's weird. This is the one my local sells. Apart from the spacing of the lettering on the tin, I can't see any difference in the name of the product. The carbs on this one are 19g
Cheers, missusBut what does it actually say on the tin?? I'll go and check on mine in a minute...

ETA: 19 g carbs of which 0g sugars, and Tesco says 1 teaspoonful is 4g weight, which is 0.76g carbs. so pretty trivial unless you add milk and sugar....
Mix cream with water and add cocoa and sweetener.Okay, I lurve hot choc but I haven't worked out how to make it without milk which spikes me. So I haven't had any since I started LCMF. Any ideas?
My favourite green and blacksCan anyone tell me where I can buy unsweetened cocoa powder as normal stuff has quite a few carbs?
I actually saw a green & blacks hot choc in sainsburys the other day which seemed to have more sugar that the g&b cocoa powder I usually get so be sure you're getting the right one!Are you sure of those numbers?

I was very disappointed with morrisons on Sunday website said it had all sorts on offer including coconut oil and when arrived there was nothing, said all stores don't have so id check first if ur making a special tripMorrisons have the G&B Cocoa on offer at £1.73. Their website shows the carbs as 19g per 100g, with 0g sugar. I am going there shortly and will check the tin.
