Yummy low calorie, fat free caramel mocha



Recommended Posts

I love the expensive (high calorie) drinks at coffee shops. One of my favorites is a caramel cafe mocha. Problem is, even a medium one at McDonalds is a whopping 280 calories. So I have been experimenting and I have finally perfected a homemade one that is simply yummy. Honestly, it's so good I don't even want a calories ridden coffee shop one anymore.

Swiss Miss makes a diet hot chocolate. Now, they also make a no sugar added one, and it's not the same thing. In fact, the no sugar added one DOES still have sugar and it's 60 calories per serving whereas the diet is only 25 calories per serving. So, you need the diet Swiss Miss hot chocolate

Cafe al Fresco makes a 0 calorie, 0 fat caramel shot. It's only $2 for a bottle and it's so good. It comes it many flavors like english toffee, vanilla, bailys, hazelnut, etc. so you could use whatever flavor you like.

-1/4 cup skim milk

-2 tbsp Cafe al Fresco caramel Syrup

-1 packet Stevia

-1 packet Swiss Miss diet hot chocolate

-cofee

Combine the milk, caramel syrup, Stevia, and hot chocolate in a big mug and mix it well. Then, simply fill the mug the rest of the way with coffee. That's it! A yummy caramel mocha and the entire thing is only 46 calories and zero fat!!

Also, if you're looking for a way to jazz up your Protein Shakes, you can substitute your favorite Protein shake for the hot chocolate. I've done this with powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Chocolate Splendor and it's really good!

Enjoy!

I will have to try this! Where do you find those syrups by the way? I was looking for them recently at the grocery store and couldn't find them. I am in the Chicago area so we have everything here and I should be able to get them easily.

I buy it in the coffee aisle of Walmart.< /p>

If you live close to a Jewel, you may want to check there too if there isn't a Walmart nearby.

(I grew up in the Chicago burbs so I know the area/stores well lol)

I found the Syrup and diet hot chocolate and made this... it was very yummy!!! :) I even got fancy and added a squirt of canned whipped cream (only 15 cal for 2 T). It was more for the visual aspect. ;) But I like it just fine w/ out too. I found the syrup at Target.

Now just add some expresso powder and crank it up a notch and I may try it, I am such a coffee snob,

I'm in Southern NJ and just bought two bottles yesterday from a discount store (Ollie's), caramel and hazelnut...$1.99 a bottle. I'm pre-op, so I cleaned out my cupboards, freezer and fridge and stocking up on post-op goodies.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
