Skinny Christmas Hot Chocolate

Published on by zoemollie2 Comments

Its that time of year again, where food and drink gets 10x more tastier and my waist gets 10 inches wider. One of my favourite things to drink during the winter is hot chocolate, with marshmallows and lots and lots of cream. This year, i decided to try and make a slightly healthier version of the ever so scrumptious warm drink. Im not saying we all need to be healthier over christmas, but for anyone who doesn’t want to add any unwanted lbs to the scale, here is a delicious festive hot chocolate that you can enjoy without feeling guilty!

Hot chocolate is all about the taste (obviously), so this year i have opted for 3 flavours that suit the festive season. I chose mint, orange and salted caramel as each of these flavours have a gorgeous taste. These hot chocolates only contain 39 calories per sachet, which is amazing! Especially if you use water instead of milk. By choosing a different flavour of hot chocolate, it turns the normal warm beverage into a festive one that you can enjoy throughout christmas! Im sure you all know how to make a mug of hot chocolate, but heres how i make mine, just incase you are interested.

  1. I chose to make a Mint Chocolate hot chocolate, as i LOVE the peppermint hot chocolates from Starbucks so i thought i may aswell try to recreate my own healthier version. I poured the sachet into my mug and boiled the kettle.
  2. Next, i simply poured the hot water into my mug and filled it to the top, then stirred. And there you have it, a super easy and quick but also healthier peppermint hot chocolate!
  3. To add extra taste, i sprayed some light whipped cream onto the top of my drink.
  4. I then added 3 little marshmallows on the top, as nothing tastes better than marshmallows dipped into hot chocolate!
  5. And finally, i enjoyed my drink with some Terry’s chocolate orange cookies (recipe coming soon!), which i know aren’t the healthiest, but theres nothing wrong with a little treat!

I hope you enjoyed this small post, and let me know if you try this hot chocolate and what you think of it!
