Swiss Miss no added sugar hot cocoa?
| Thu, 03-11-2004 - 7:55pm |
I have a box of Swiss Miss No Sugar Added instant hot cocoa - - nutrition label says: calories: 60; total fat: 1 g; total carbohydrate: 10g and sugars: 7g. As I'm writing this I'm realizing that it's probably not okay on phase 1 (or any phase for that matter) but I wanted to check with what others think.
Thanks very much. -Ellen

What are the ingredients? Sometimes the nutritional information is not quite as important as the ingredient list.
Thanks,

Anyone know about s/f hot chocolate that you mix with hot water?
Hi dragonmamma, it's very important to read the labels. Most of the packets list ingredients that aren't good, especially partially-hydrogenated oil (it's in most of them). I know that sounds strange being a dry powder product, but it's in there, somehow. Also, they do have sugars in them. For example, I'm reading the label right now on Nestle' "no sugar added" reduced-calorie hot cocoa mix, and it has 9 grams of sugar in it.
Personally, I wouldn't use this product on Phase 1, but if I found a good-quality hot cocoa with less sugars, I might use it occasionally on Phase 2 if I found one that was trans-fat free (with no partially-hydrogenated oil). So, be a label-reader if you want to find the best choice you can. :)
Hope that helps,

Heat 1 C skim milk in microwave.
Stir in 2-3 tsp. unsweeted cocoa powder and 2T splenda. mmmmmmmmm If I really need a treat I put a little light Reddi-Whip on top. Heaven.

Rachel, I'm really glad to see you here on the board today, looking for recipes and reading the threads.
I've been drinking sugar free hot chocolate all along (2 months) because the book said we could have it. Now I'm really upset because it's not actually okay. It's been a real help to me during chocolate cravings. I've had at least one cup per day with water. Maybe that's why I'm losing so slowly! Darn!
Hi Rhonda, I don't remember seeing in the book that instant hot chocolate was a good thing to have on South Beach.
