Cocoa

[Dark Drake]

ok my dad came up with this recipe.

first you need to pull out the mixer. put in 2 eggs. grab some hersheys cocoa baking powder and put some in about 1/2 a cup... or more its your decision. the get some whip topping and put a serving size in. then grab 2 packs of splenda and pour in. next add a tsp of vanilla. mix it all together for about 2-3 minutes. then drink either cold of you can warm it up.

i drank it once and it was pretty good. but im too lazy to go through all those steps just for cocoa.

Here's a carb breakdown of that drink:

2 eggs = 1.2 net carbs
1/2 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder = 16 net carbs *
2 Splenda packets = 2 net carbs
Whipped topping (unspecified amount) = 1-2 net carbs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract = 0.5 net carbs

So that one serving of cocoa has about 20 net carbs.

Also are you sure you use the unsweetened baking cocoa, because unsweetened cocoa is very bitter and 2 packets of Splenda most likely won't render it drinkable.

*per the nutritional label 1 tablespoon of the cocoa contains 2 net carbs (3 total carbs, 1 fiber gram). There are 8 tablespoons in 1/2 cup.

Oh Megs I was thinking the same thing.

you can make low carb cocoa with 1-2 T of the powder. some of your cream allottment for the day if your Atkins and metabolism can handle cream a sweetner of your choice and water. the longer you do Atkins the less cream you will need and the more water you can uses instead. By my second yr I was down to no cream just cocoa powder and water.

Now, the cocoa didn't bother me but the raw eggs worried me. It sounds very good though and I bet we could teek it to make it induction friendly. Hummmmm

just whip Megs choclate pots 1T cocoa powder 1T cream and sweetner of choice it you let it sit it thinkend like pudding andI'd bet you could add a bit of water and whip you up agreat chocolate moose but those pots are addictive so be warned!

Raw eggs aren't a problem---as long as you are certain your eggs aren't contaminated.
