This tastes better to me when done on the stove, frothy and yummy, but the microwave still delivers a warm, delicious cup of sweet comfort. I think it's way better than the packaged stuff, plus you get the benefits of the flavanoids by using actual cocoa powder.
2 Tbsp. sugar, or equivalent amount of other sweetener (we use Splenda)
3 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1 cup milk (we use 1%)
1/4 tsp. vanilla
Microwave: Mix dry ingredients in a large mug. Heat milk separately, 1-2 minutes until hot. Slowly stir in to dry ingredients, add vanilla.
Stove top: Heat all ingredients, except vanilla, over medium heat, whisking regularly. When heated through, stir in vanilla.
Fitness, food, & writing are my passions, so of course, a blog. As a certified personal trainer in Napa, where food is an art form, I want to eat it, enjoy it, & still be able to get in to my jeans. Anti diet, pro healthy lifestyle. I've spent the last 20 yrs teaching about food & fitness, researching, & writing about it, so I've got a lot to say. I believe in balance; don't forget to do your pushups, & if you love 'em, by all means, enjoy some pancakes!
