So I am on my pre op diet. My surgery is on Monday! But, I was REALLY craving hot chocolate. It's EXTREMELY cold outside. But, since I'm really not allowed to have hot chocolate... or do I have any Reduced Sugar kind to even try to sneak it I improvised!

I warmed up some milk.... and put in my Carnation Instant Start (Sugar Free) that I'm allowed to have! And, YUM!

Tastes JUST like hot chocolate.

Thank you for that tip. I drink Carnation every morning on my way to work. Right now it is really cold outside when I go so I appreciate your tip - now I can have it warm instead of cold. I can't imagine why I didn't think of that. Nice way to start the morning.!!!!

I will have to try that! I have been wanting hot cocoa!

You can make Protein hot chocolate out of any Protein powder.

Just mix up a scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder in a little bit of room temp. Water. Wisk is well.

Get a coffee mug and make the water very hot. Then wisk together your protein powder water and it's yummy!

Yeah, I've been trying a lot of new things lately. This has inspired some creativity.

Thanks for the tip!!! I will have to go buy some. I have been wanting hot chocolate SO bad. I drink the Premier protein shakes from Costco but I think they would be nasty if I heated them up. I will have to try the carnation.
