Notes
- If using milk - Choose your milk wisely: Opt for skim milk for the lowest calorie option, or if you prefer a creamier texture, use whole milk sparingly.
- Try Utilizing unsweetened cocoa powder: It's low in calories and adds rich chocolate flavor without the added sugar.
- Be mindful of Weight Watchers points: Consider the points value of each ingredient you add, especially if you're following the green, blue, or purple plan.
- Experiment with different plans: Depending on your plan, you may have more flexibility with certain ingredients like skim milk or chocolate chips.
- Incorporate vanilla extract: It adds depth of flavor without extra calories and complements the chocolate beautifully.
- Opt for artificial sweetener or sweetener of choice: Reduce added sugar by using a sugar substitute like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit.
- Choose the right sweetener: If using a liquid sweetener, like maple syrup, be cautious of the added sugar content and adjust the amount accordingly.
- Whip up some Cool Whip: Use light or fat-free Cool Whip as a low-calorie topping for added creaminess without the guilt.
- Keep an eye on portion sizes: Even low-calorie ingredients can add up if you're not mindful of portions, especially with toppings like chocolate chips.
- Mix it up with different plans: Depending on your plan, you might have more leeway with certain ingredients. For example, the green plan may allow for more chocolate chips than the blue or purple plans.
- Balance flavors carefully: Adjust the sweetness level to your taste preferences without compromising on flavor.
- Enjoy the creamy hot cocoa: Use a frother or blender to mix your ingredients thoroughly for a creamy texture.
- Consider the chocolate milk option: If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider using chocolate milk instead of adding extra sweeteners.
- Monitor added sugar: Pay attention to the ingredients you're using to avoid unnecessary added sugars.
- Don't forget to track your points: Keep track of the points value of your hot chocolate cold brew to stay within your daily allowance and reach your weight loss goals.
