Hot Carob Drink Healthier Than Hot Cocoa

Since going through the ER Fat Burn and ER Detox programs I'm extra careful about what food we eat. I stopped all coffee. Drink tons of herbal teas and water everyday.

I live in Minnesota, the frozen tundra. When it's 6 degrees I want hot chocolate but after reading the ingredients on the Swiss Miss I knew it wasn't an option for my family.

Here are the ingredients:
sugar, corn syrup, modified whey, cocoa (processed with alkali), hydrogenated coconut oil, marshmallows (sugar, corn syrup, modified corn starch, gelatin, artificial flavor), nonfat milk, calcium carbonate, less than 2% of: salt, dipotassium phosphate, mono - and diglycerides, artificial flavor, carrageenan.

OK, here's my hot chocolate drink:
1 cup milk (raw if you can find it, at least non-homogenized)
1 tablespoon Carob powder
1 tablespoon raw honey
1/2 teaspoon organic pure real vanilla extract.

Mix all ingredients, heat until hot, DO NOT BOIL.

Drink up and enjoy. It is very good and good for you.

Carob powder has no caffeine, no chocolate, no added sugar, it's naturally sweet.

I have a soft spot for hot cocoa, so I'll give this a try and let you know what I think.

This sounds yummy! Fortunately our Trader Joe's has non-homogenized whole milk, so I'll give this recipe a try as soon as I get some. Thanks, Robin.
