Many friends inboxed us question on our post 30 Days Pinned...Tummy In that eating dinner early before 8 and then sleeping late invokes urge to eat something late night.
I cannot agree more. Its very hard to stick to a plan after 30 days and to me its not even practically possible, for most. So I keep finding ideas that are healthy and yet let me indulge.
I don't know about my sweet tooth as I can go without explicit sugar all day but crave something rich and sweet after dinner. Late nights, its tough! I have got a perfect solution:)
I indulge myself in a cup of thick rich hot chocolate "under 100 cal"
Made myself hot chocolate many times with the 1% or non fat milk and duh! The rich and thick texture of whole milk or half-n-half was missing. So this is what i did......
Recipe
1 cup fat free or 1% milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
sugar to taste
1/3 Tbsp cornstarch
I like mine spiced up so add cinnamon, cayenne pepper and orange zest occasionally.
Put everything together in a saucepan, bring to boil on medium high as you whisk it away.
And Ta Da! Rich Thick Luxurious Hot Chocolate Under 100 cal Night Delight.
