Healthy Homemade Hot Chocolate

Hey Food Finders!

OMG A giant mug of sweet, rich, and creamy hot chocolate during the chilly holiday season, and ALL winter long is one of life’s greatest pleasures! A few years ago, I came up with such a quick and simple recipe that satisfies my hot cocoa craving every time for only 1 SP and 35 calories for the entire mug including the whipped cream!

Guilt Free Indulgence

If you want a peppermint hot cocoa just add a little peppermint extract, or a crushed mini candy cane atop your whipped cream.  If you’d like a mocha, just add a little coffee. Mini marshmallows are also a fun add-in, just be sure to adjust the points/cals! Just pick from the above delicious add-in ingredient list.
