Yummy low calorie, fat free caramel mocha



Recommended Posts

I love the expensive (high calorie) drinks at coffee shops. One of my favorites is a caramel cafe mocha. Problem is, even a medium one at McDonalds is a whopping 280 calories. So I have been experimenting and I have finally perfected a homemade one that is simply yummy. Honestly, it's so good I don't even want a calories ridden coffee shop one anymore.

Swiss Miss makes a diet hot chocolate. Now, they also make a no sugar added one, and it's not the same thing. In fact, the no sugar added one DOES still have sugar and it's 60 calories per serving whereas the diet is only 25 calories per serving. So, you need the diet Swiss Miss hot chocolate

Cafe al Fresco makes a 0 calorie, 0 fat caramel shot. It's only $2 for a bottle and it's so good. It comes it many flavors like english toffee, vanilla, bailys, hazelnut, etc. so you could use whatever flavor you like.

-1/4 cup skim milk

-2 tbsp Cafe al Fresco caramel Syrup

-1 packet Stevia

-1 packet Swiss Miss diet hot chocolate

-cofee

Combine the milk, caramel syrup, Stevia, and hot chocolate in a big mug and mix it well. Then, simply fill the mug the rest of the way with coffee. That's it! A yummy caramel mocha and the entire thing is only 46 calories and zero fat!!

Also, if you're looking for a way to jazz up your Protein Shakes, you can substitute your favorite Protein shake for the hot chocolate. I've done this with powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Chocolate Splendor and it's really good!

Enjoy!

I will have to try this! Where do you find those syrups by the way? I was looking for them recently at the grocery store and couldn't find them. I am in the Chicago area so we have everything here and I should be able to get them easily.

I buy it in the coffee aisle of Walmart.< /p>

If you live close to a Jewel, you may want to check there too if there isn't a Walmart nearby.

(I grew up in the Chicago burbs so I know the area/stores well lol)

I found the Syrup and diet hot chocolate and made this... it was very yummy!!! :) I even got fancy and added a squirt of canned whipped cream (only 15 cal for 2 T). It was more for the visual aspect. ;) But I like it just fine w/ out too. I found the syrup at Target.

Now just add some expresso powder and crank it up a notch and I may try it, I am such a coffee snob,

I'm in Southern NJ and just bought two bottles yesterday from a discount store (Ollie's), caramel and hazelnut...$1.99 a bottle. I'm pre-op, so I cleaned out my cupboards, freezer and fridge and stocking up on post-op goodies.

      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.
