This Low Calorie Hot Chocolate is just 53 calories and made with metabolism boosting almond milk! Best of all, I added real chocolate chips to the skinny hot chocolate, so it’s the real thing, and so much better than hot chocolate packets!

Ingredients You’ll Need:

¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
1 tablespoon All-Natural Zero Calorie Sugar (see recipe card below)

Storage: Will hold in the pantry for 1 month. And the fridge for 2 months.
Serving: Add 2 tablespoons to the heated almond milk and mix well.
