With the revised food list including non fat and low fat milk for all phases, I mixed up a hot chocolate mix that I keep at work, for the days that I want a little something sweet (I'm not a coffee drinker). I noticed that the s/f chocolate mixes had modified food starch so I wanted to avoid them. The ingredients below don't.

I'm going under the assumption that this is suitable for Phase I. I'm 4 days in and 4 pounds down. Yay!

1 cup carnation nonfat powdered milk
3 TB dutch processed cocoa (I use penzeys - www.penzeys.com)
2-3 TB your favorite pourable sugar substitute (I used Equal)

Mix all ingredients together in an airtight container and shake vigorously to combine. Add 2 TB to a mug and fill with hot water. Enjoy!

I made this awhile back and the flavor is pretty good BUT...the cocoa doesn't dissolve very well when I had hot water. I've tried several ways, add a little bit of water and stir the dickens out of it, then add more water; place it in a jar with hot water and shake the dickens out of it.

I would say about half to 2/3 of the cocoa dissolves and the other is pretty nasty if you get it in your mouth. I used the dutch cocoa form Trader Joes.

Any hints, should I run it through the flour sifter or something?

I'm wanting to make some of this to give as gifts for Christmas, but not until I get the undisolved problem taken care of.

I use my Keurig machine with the insert that you normally put your own coffee in, it comes out perfectly that way

has anyone tried making hot chocolate using chocolate syrup made out of agave syrup and raw cocoa?
