Clean & Steamy Hot Cocoa

It's COLD outside!! Is anybody else tired of the brutal winter winds & snowdrifts?! Looks like another winter storm is around the corner. Hot cocoa is in order! Now I normally make hot cocoa with full fat milk, dab of cream, & even a touch of butter melted in there. (It's terribly unhealthy but soooo good!) Here's a healthy alternative that can be ready in minutes.

Dad must have liked it - this makes two days in a row that he hasn't asked for pie!



1 cup skim milk
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp sucanat
1 tsp light sour cream
Few drops of pure vanilla

In a microwaveable mug, combine cocoa, sucanat, & 2 tbsp of the milk. Microwave for 30 seconds & mix well with a fork. Add the rest of the milk, stir, and add sour cream. Heat for another 30 seconds. Stir & heat for 30 seconds more. Stir and add vanilla. Continue heating in 30 second spurts till heated.

This is 137 calories per cup.
