Hot Chocolate

I made my hot chocolate this morning and took a picture of it because it looked so nice.
Tasted wonderful too.
Zero calories syrup - chocolate orange flavour, with 1 teaspoon of 100% cocoa powder, hot water almost up to the top and a splash of double cream. I used my milk frother to mix it all up and got a lovely head of froth.

I really like Pam Ayres. She's a sort of more even Larkin, who i also think is great though he can be a bit grim eg Mr Bleaney's Room.
 
Hi everyone!! I've always have a hot chocolate after I take my tablets at night in bed, but havent been due to diabetes!! Do any of you drink hot chocolate? If yes what do you drink?
Thank you

Or you could save it until your about to mow the lawns/ sweep up the leaves. A bit of gardening really burns a hole in your blood sugar. Quite handy if you're a bit high ( no hot choccy then though :-( )
 
Good ideas there. I've just bought a milk frother and find that adding frothed milk to the cocoa powder and sweetener really helps. Cream would be nice but I have high cholesterol so have to avoid saturated fats.

I had early onset non alcoholic fatty liver disease and high cholesterol and gall bladder problems. I tried low fat and it got worse. I went onto keto - very low carb and high fat and my liver is now healthy and I haven't had a peep from my gall bladder in two years - cholesterol also fine on last check and blood pressure also good.
