42-Calorie Almond Milk Hot Chocolate

Read...


INGREDIENTS
  • 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3-4 packets Truvia, or other sweetener to taste
  • pinch of instant coffee (optional)
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (I used unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze)
DIRECTIONS
Fork method
  1. In the bottom of your mug, use a fork to whisk together the first 4 ingredients plus 1 Tbsp of the almond milk for 20-30 seconds. It takes a little effort to get the almond milk to incorporate, but you'll end up with a smooth paste.
  2. Add ¼ of the remaining almond milk and mix again until smooth. (Should look like chocolate syrup.)
  3. Add the rest of the almond milk and stir until smooth, being sure to scrape the sides.
  4. Microwave for 1-1½ minutes. Give it a final stir and enjoy!
Blender method
  1. Whiz all ingredients in a blender, transfer to a mug, and microwave 1-1½ minutes until hot.
