What about a GOOD treat! Hot cocoa

I have been trying very hard to stay on track today. And for the most part I did REALLY good. We did have our usual supper out at our FAVORITE Mexican restaurant. And I had a few corn tortilla chips and some salsa and cheese dip. But NOT too many. Other than that I did good.

I did have a craving for something sweet. So I made my good treat... hot cocoa. My Nurse Practitioner had told me a nice little recipe for this treat. It is YUMMY!

Yummy Hot Cocoa!
1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
2 Tbsp. cocoa (unsweetened)
5-6 drops of stevia or 1 teaspoon Agave nectar

Heat your milk and then stir in the cocoa and sweetener of your choice. It is a GREAT little treat and very much OK on my ACD. :) ENJOY!

I am CONSTANTLY looking for sweets. I LOVE sweets and this ACD is NOT friendly to sweets :) But, I am learning that I don't have to have them all the time and I must enjoy a little here and there. I have made almond milk ice cream and it is REALLY good too. I did end up using Evaporated Cane Juice because I was leary of what it would taste like with a different sweetener. But I am going to keep working on the recipe and then I will share. Have a BLESSED week!
