Trigger for hunger? For me, I find a cup of black coffee suppresses my evening appetite... unfortunately I don't like decaf, so I have to remember not to drink it too late or I'll struggle to fall asleep at a decent hour.
i have hot cocoa almost everynight. but i make it from scratch. unsweetened cocoa powder, little vanilla, little salt, low fat milk and if i need to sweeten i'll add a dash of splenda. the key is no sugar. it's delicious and rich!
I always make from scratch using raw cacao powder, but yes it triggers my hunger in a way that tea does not. I am allergic to artificial sweeteners & stevia. Coffee doesn't bother me but I hate decaf. In the winter months I like something warm to drink at night.
