Having a stressful day? Here’s a tasty treat that’ll give you a big boost for just 42 little calories.
Of course, it involves chocolate. (Was there any question?)
Specifically, chocolate in the form of creamy, rich, satisfying almond milk hot cocoa. With an optional kick of coffee if you need a turbocharge.
I love this hot chocolate so much that I drink it every day. And sometimes twice a day, now that I’m knee deep in the dietetic internship application process.
What’s more, I can’t tell you how many times making a cup of this has kept me from going straight off the nutrition rails. You baked-goods addicts know what I’m talking about—one minute you’re feeling stressed or sad, and the next minute you’re at the bakery, buying a donut, with no recollection of how you got there.
(Okay, maybe you remember how you got there, but you get my point.)
Anyway, this hot chocolate is extremely good at preventing that. Just make a cup when cravings strike and watch them melt away as you bliss out. It’s right up there with my healthy chocolate frosting (you’ll never guess the secret ingredient) for being a great low-cal way to satisfy chocolate cravings.
In fact, I’ve actually been trying to figure out why I haven’t posted this hot cocoa before. Maybe because it’s so easy it doesn’t feel like a recipe? I mean, it only has 4 ingredients and takes all of 3 minutes to make. Which is exactly why I should have posted it sooner. Whoops.
So without further ado, here it is: mood-soothing, energy-boosting hot chocolate that’ll keep you out of the bakery—and in your favorite jeans.
