Howdy, I am interested in trying the bark recipes and have a question about the use of cocoa powder. Is this ok to use on Phase 1 and is there a limit? I was at local health food store where they sell it in bulk, where you measure out the amount you want with a little scoop and put it in a bag, it is organic. I think the brand is Frontier. I did note that the label said 2 carbs and it didn't appear to have any sugar, but I can't recall for what serving size that was. I didn't buy any until I find out more information. What are your thoughts on cocoa powder?
For me, I would probably stay away from Hershey's or that type of cocoa powder, without even looking I'm guessing they have added sugars.
Last Xmas I went way off my eating plan because I found "peppermint bark ice cream", you know, that chocolate peppermint bark you see around the holidays broken up in vanilla ice cream and I thought this is what having an addition to crack must be like! I am looking for any suggestions how to incorporate either IP products, or alternative products to best duplicate this somehow, so any ideas are most appreciated. I must be armed and ready this holiday season..dunno maybe something with vanilla pudding, choco soy puffs and peppermint oil
