interesting !!.. and thanks for the recipe.. It never occured to me to

make a dry mix in advance. I ususally make just enough for one cup at a

time. Great idea.

Your welcome!

I really try to stay away from all " pre packaged " foods.

Not only is this cost effective.. you know what you are eating/drinking.

I sometimes add just a drop or 2 of cream... for that " special " treat!

Over the weekend I am going to make my own Sugar Free Jam using Splenda.. and

can it.

I want to make Sugar Free " Thumbprint " cookies with the Strawberry Jam filling

so I can take cookies to New Years Eve and have 1 or 2.

I have a couple of WLS friends whom I will make guinea pigs.. They all hate the

SF Jelly with Nutrasweet.

if I'm not mistaken.... coffee is an insuline releaser and I know regarding

me... that is part of the problem with coffee. I too limit my intake to once

small cup in the morning.

Re: Re: Make your own SF Hot Cocoa

cocoa does have some caffeine in it.. as does the store bought packages.

I drink 1 cup of caffeine coffee every night.. but that is also followed

by 8-10 oz of water.

I also take Prilosec 2x daily per my surgeon.

He said 1 cup a day was okay.

There is a coffee named KAVA that is 90% acid reduced - I drink it all the time

and I too have Acid Reflux and this coffee does not bother me one bit - just a

thought ;-)

Good, we have 2 votes from the docs to limit caffeine to 1 cup a day. Does

anyone know the reason to not have caffeine? I drink decaf coffee, 1 cup in

the a.m. and also decaf tea, so an occasional hot cocoa shouldn't be a

problem.

Ulcers!

Excessive caffeine can cause ulcers.

Since our new " tummys " can be prone to ulcers... less caffeine.
