Wait till you see what I have for you today! It’s unbelievable Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate and it’s SKINNY! Scrumptious hot chocolate, yet it’s light and waistline-friendly.
You did hear me right! This deliciousness is skinny!
Please don’t take the fact that it’s skinny to mean that it doesn’t taste good. It is full of chocolate and salted caramel flavors. It’s just made with light, fat free and sugar free ingredients.
Even my husband, who doesn’t like light and fat free foods, loved this hot chocolate. He saw me take pictures of it, of course it looks gorgeous, but he didn’t realize that it was skinny.
Hubby: “Didn’t you make one for me?”
Me: “Ummm, I would have but you know it’s skinny, right?”
Him: “Well let me just take a little sip and see it I like it.”
Takes a little sip…
Takes another sip…
Takes another sip…
Him: “I guess I’ll just take half since you only made one!”
Who knew that my husband would eat or drink anything with a word “skinny” in it?! This Skinny Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate really IS that good!

This sounds incredibly good. So I am assuming that this drink would be great for diabetics as well? I have a pinboard where I am gathering all recipes for people suffering from Diabetes and I would then pin this up. Regards – Ishita š
lyuba says
Ishita, I’m not sure what kind of sugar substitutes are allowed for people with diabetes but you can any sugar substitute in here. The caramel is sugar free but store bought. So no real sugar, I would assume that it’s safe for diabetics but I am not an expert on the subject!!
Thank you!
