What is your favorite hot chocolate?



Recommended Posts

I would love an instant hot chocolate that we bansters can drink without killing our calories. This morning, I did have a regular cup as that is all I have and the sugar is CRAZY! But I have really been wanting chocolate, so it is my treat for the week. I helped a little by using mostly Water and FF dry milk to make it creamy.

With all the diet hot chocolate choices out there, what is your favorite? Do you do anything to them to make them an extra special treat?

Thanks!!!

I like either the Nestles or Swiss Miss...they are about 20-25 cals per packet. I actually carry them in my car for when I stop for coffee, I just mix a packet in and add some sugar free Caramel or Hazelnut Syrup. The Nestles actually comes in a canister that I use while at home. 2 Tbls = 25 cals.

I will also mix in my Benefiber

Kab....during the weightloss stage I drank this drink a few times a day. It really did stave off hunger and helped with the chocolate cravings.

I also found a hot drink product that I love. Alpine sugar free cider...just mixed with hot Water. 15 cals. For me, Hot Drinks got me through some tough hunger spots.

Im currently on liquids (post -op day5) but I went to the whole foods place my dietitian recommended and got hot chocolate with marshmallows that is 70 cal BUT 15g Protein. I know I wont need so much protein from a drink once my diet progresses but I love this stuff. Its a BariWise product. I was wondering earlier if I could use swiss miss or something else. Fantastic to know Im not the only one who NEEDS hot chocolate!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
