Looking for a low sugar version of hot chocolate so I bought Green and Blacks cocoa powder and made it with unsweetened almond milk and a small teaspoon of sweetener. Very lyfli indeed :thumbup: Hope my sugars don't suffer as a result but can't see it.

Me too - always use it on cereal nowadays. The drink was super and I think the good quality cocoa and only having to use a bit makes a difference.

Green and Blacks is the best cocoa I have ever tried. it tastes lovely for baking and making cream frosting. I need to try it for hot chocolate now!

Hello - it doesn't say on the tin. The ingredients just says organic cocoa powder. About to test sugars next. :crazy:

Blood sugars 7.4 two hours after supper and had the hot chocolate about 45 mins ago so result !!! Brilliant - so good when you find something indulgent and a bit naughty but doesn't send those sugars sky high. Happy bunny.

Have a look at the Winter Warmers thread for more soothing winter drink ideas; cream can be swaped for soya milk/almond milk.
