I live in the boonies and our local Wal Mart doesn't carry everything and not even sugar free hot chocolate. Hope someone has a recipe as I am surely craving it! Thanks!

I would think just using milk, cocoa powder and sweetener of choice would be all that you would need. Easy peasy.

I've used the Hot Chocolate from the Bariatric Pal Store right here. Right now it's on sale for $13.99 for 7 packets.

Here's the info on the basic Chocolate. There are other flavors available.

This is what I do. I use 1 T unsweetened cocoa powder (like Hershey's or any brand), 1-2 packets of Splenda or whatever sweetener you like, and mix with 2 T milk (I use fairlife filtered skim milk for extra protein). Stir this in a small pot over low heat so the cocoa powder, sweetener, and milk are like a paste, then add more milk to equal one cup (or just add a cup of milk, no need to be exact!).

The reason I blend the cocoa powder with a small amount of milk first is that the cocoa can clump if you add it to all the milk at once first. Make sure you are using unsweetened cocoa, the kind used in baking, not hot chocolate mix!

I personally would stay away from Bariatric Pal hot cocoa... for some reason they add titanium dioxide to it, A known carcinogen!

I'd research the Titanium Dioxide that bariatric pal uses as well as other sugar free/bariatric hot chocolate. Its been banned in the UK for a reason. Its a known carcinogen ?. Its also found in so many things, food and topicals such as make up, powders, sunscreen etc. Its a micromolecule and gets into the blood, lungs etc.

Just a heads up.
