Healthy Spin on Cocoa and Mocha's!

I recently posted this on my facebook but figured I would add it here as well. I have a little trick to a quick and healthy version of a mocha for the mornings or hot cocoa you can sip after dinner to satisfy your sweet cravings in the cold weather! Here it is!




Ingredients:

Quick/Healthy Mocha Substitute:                                             
  • One package of Swiss Miss 25 calorie hot cocoa            
  • 8-12 ounces of brewed black coffee
  • 1 tbsp of Soy half&half creamer
  • 2 tbsp of fat free cool whip/whipped topping
  • Cinnamon sprinkled on top
Total Calories: 65 !
 *For hot cocoa subtract coffee and creamer and you have a delicious drink for only 40 calories!*
