When can cocoa powder be added?
Where does it fall on the carb ladder?
|
Technically, cocoa comes from a bean and is in the legume family. That being said, on Atkins OWL, cocoa powder should not be added until Rung 6 of the carb ladder. There is some contraversy on this if you research different Atkins & low carb sites, some feel cocoa is a "spice" and feel unsweetened cocoa can be used during Induction. My personal feeling is, if Dr. Atkins didn't specifically include it on the acceptable foods list for Induction....its not allowed.

But after induction? would you wait til rung 6? im dying for some sugar free hot cocoa its negative 9 here today lol

I found this on a low carb site, tried it and really enjoyed it! 1 rounded teaspoon Hershey's Dutched Cocoa or other real cocoa powder (unsweetened) 2 cap fulls DaVinci Sugar Free Syrup of your choice. I used Caramel flavor. 1 cup boiling water 1 Tbsp. Heavy Cream Boil the water. Put the cocoa powder into a cup and stir in the sugar free syrup until it makes a nice paste. Gradually pour in the water while stirring to dissolve the cocoa. Fill almost to the top. Then lighten with the cream Approx. 3 carbs. |
Sounds yummy Kim thanks!
