Hi -

I use Stevia or Agave Syrup in my hot cocoa.  They are both a natural alternative to the artificial sweetners.

I don't care for artificial sweetners. What if I use raw sugar? Is that a no-no?

Two teaspoons of cocoa undutched and splenda to taste I use 2 spoonfuls of splenda but my hubby only uses one and adds reddi whip on top. It will just depend on how you can handle dark chocolate my sister could not handle it so bitter and she only uses 1 teaspoon of cocoa in hers. Hope you enjoy!   Amy -----Original Message----- From: Goodmooddietclub@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:Goodmooddie tclub@yahoogroup s.com] On Behalf Of Julie Hart Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 9:16 AM To: Goodmooddietclub@ yahoogroups. com Subject: Re: [Goodmooddietclub] Re: My name is Julie - I'm new Thank you for the replys and the advise. I will move the egg to breakfast and add a half sandwich to lunch. I forgot to drink my vegtable juice yesterday. I printed off the good mood log from the website to help me stay on track.   How do you make your cocoa?   Julie --- On Mon, 6/16/08, blaufey <blaufey@yahoo. com> wrote: From: blaufey <blaufey@yahoo. com> Subject: [Goodmooddietclub] Re: My name is Julie - I'm new To: Goodmooddietclub@ yahoogroups. com Date: Monday, June 16, 2008, 7:48 AM Hi again Julie, I also wanted to mention not to skip the cocoa at night. I have found that during the day if I am tempted by a cookie or something knowing I will have that cocoa at the end of the day is enough to let me pass on the temptation. I also use that time to reflect on my day and journal. ~Terri --- In Goodmooddietclub@ yahoogroups. com, Julie Hart <writingcatscrochet @...> wrote: > > Hi All, > &nbsp; > I just wanted to introduce myself.
