Rich, sweet hot chocolate. Isn’t it the best? I usually steer clear of regular hot chocolate simply because of the amount of sugar it contains. Its like drinking a chocolate bar! So I played around and figured out how to make it taste great, and use one of my favorite no-cal sweeteners….stevia! I should also mention, this was a hit with my 4-year old too!

Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 20 drops liquid stevia (I used NuNaturals vanilla stevia)

- *Optional* 4 Tbsp light whipped cream from aerosol can (add 30 cals, 1.5 g fat, 10mg sodium, 3 g carbs, 2 g sugar)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, liquid stevia and almond milk until it forms into a paste. I use a spoon or fork. It will take a couple minutes to come together.
