Warm Cocoa

This recipe is pretty simple. I drink a big glass (16 oz.) every morning to help me feel full and satisfied. Drinking this along with two scrambled eggs for breakfast is great for the low carb diet and helps so much with hunger pains.  I honestly don't get hungry until two or three in the afternoon.

16 ounces of warm water ( I use tap water at it's warmest)
1 tsp. baking cocoa
1/2 tsp. pure Vanilla
2 Tbs. Heavy Whipping Cream

Since I discovered the dangers of artificial sweeteners I don't add any and don't miss them, some people might like to add a packet or two.

Stir these ingredients together and enjoy!

Chocolate Frosty

I made some modifications to a Wendy's low calorie frosty that is absolutely delicious. This is perfect for an afternoon snack especially in the summertime when everyone else is having a milk shake or ice cream.

2 C crushed ice
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 C whipping cream
3/4 C water
3 Tbl. Dry sugar free chocolate pudding mix

Throw these ingredients together in a blender and let her rip. you may have to adjust the water for your desired thickness. Enjoy! I am right now!
