Sugar-Free drinking chocolate! Yes Please! :)

For all the hot Chocolate drinking lovers, like me! :) Vitarium 100% naturally (http://www.vitarium.com.au/product/premium-chocolate/) created a fantastic no added sugar hot chocolate powder! Vitarium’s Chocolate drink mix is sweetened with Natvia, a 100% natural sweetener derived from the best part of the stevia plant making it sugar free and great tasting. This chocolate mix has 85% fewer calories than other sugar filled alternatives and still has the same great taste.


I usually mix it with a tsp of Nescafe greenblend (http://www.nescafe.com/product_details_en_com.axcms?Id=73) and one drop of Better Stevia french Vanilla liquid sweetener (http://www.iherb.com/now-foods-better-stevia-liquid-sweetener-french-vanilla-2-fl-oz-60-ml/16558) and it is like being in paradise!
