Hi Anna,

Diet Swiss Miss is a hot cocoa mix. Each packet makes 6oz. of fat free cocoa when you add hot water, and it's ONLY 25 calories per packet. Most of the time I'll get 2 packets and my tall mug and for 50 calories I have a nice warm "snack" that actually does take my appetite for a few hours between meals! And for a special treat some days I'll put a scoop of cool whip free on top and "yyyuuuuummmmmm!!!!"

Donna,

It sounds lush :9 - the UK diet hot chocolates are vile :-hmmm (I wish we had a smiley icon depicting yuk !). I have to go for the Horlicks/Ovaltine type drinks for a warming drink - a comfort drink , 25 calories a cup - that is pretty good going for a chocolatey drink.

Wrap up warm !

Have you ever come across a drink called "Milo" I used to think it was just amongst the afro caribbean community who used it but I have seen it in Sainsburys, and Tesco.

If it is available try with soya milk and sprinkle with nutmeg really doesn't need any added sugar.

Just a suggestion.

On some things I don't go for the reduced calorie options because 1 they often put artifical sweetners in 2. they often taste dreadful. So I allow myself to drink normal drinks and just try to make it as healthy as I can.

Also I used to drink coffee as a hot milk drink which was my mothers way of introducing us to coffee.
