Thats funny..lol..I was just thinking of trying that last night but I was worried wether the cocoa had caffeine in it. Whats the carb count on it?

[G2Gunner]

The natural caffine affect of cocoa won't hurt you at all unless you're having cups of it.
Generally 1 tablespoon of cocoa has 2g of carbs but also has 2g of fiber = 0g net carbs, so don't count it towards your daily carbs. Cocoa is a better choice because it's full of antioxodiants and a natural fat burner.

Wow thanks for that info, I couldint find nothing on the can.

Oh my--I must try this one!

Is this ok on induction? The ice, cream and sugar free (carb free) jello mix.

It's okay (I believe) as long as you count the cream as your 2-3 oz limit for the day, and don't forget to count the allowed Splenda (or alternative) limit of 2 packets a day. I think with the Jello, you're going to have to make some adjustments during the day if you want to stay true to keeping the carbs low. It's all about keeping score, moderation, and having fun with your food. And let me tell you, thanks for bumping this one up (I think...LOL)!

The Jello we have is zero carb Jello....the only downfall to it is that it's sweetened with Aspartame. I find my body handles aspartame ok, I never crave anything after I have it and I don't think my blood sugar spikes. So if it's zero carb Jello then I was thinking it would be ok for induction, aside from the aspartame.

Well I am disappointed.. I tried making G2Gunner's Recipe and the recipe at the top.. Neither one turned out right In a way I am glad...cause I don't need to get addicted to anything else... But I was looking forward to it. One of the issues was that my blender wasn't breaking up the ice.. Which I don't understand. Its a pretty new blender..only been used a couple of times...

I didn't have any sugar free jello on hand so I filled up a huge glass with ice and water, dumped it in the blender and then dumped two tbs of heavy cream in. I had some Crystal Light lemonade so I poured one packet of that in and blended it up! It was like a lemonade slushie. DBF liked it so much that he made him one with the Hawaii Punch sugarfree packets(Its like Crystal Light and comes in the little packets too with zero carbs). It tasted just like a cherry slushie to me. He loved it and he doesn't even eat low carb! I thought it was great!

Sandy - I had that problem too! My blender is fairly new and rarely used. DBF had to come in the kitchen and try getting it to break up the ice for me, but it still left big chunks of ice.

If it wasn't so chilly out, I'd make this..can't wait for summer!
