CAN I HAVE HOT COCOA MADE OUT OF HERSHEYS PURE COCOA WITH ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER AND SKIM MILK? WOULD IT BE COUNTED AS A CARBO?
Technically, cocoa is a Funky Food and should be eliminated on Level One. Cocoa has caffeine, which can spike insulin levels. But if you’re going to have hot chocolate, the recipe you devised would create the least amount of imbalance, and yes, it would be considered a carbohydrate. Look for my Somersize Hot Cocoa, too.
