A refreshing but nourishing drink. Cocoa has nearly twice the anti-oxidants of red wine and up to 3 times those found in green tea. Cocoa has about 1/3 of a gram of fat per one cup serving compared with 8g of fat in 40g chocolate bar.
So it is time to enjoy this healthy drink from your own pantry and skip those pre-packed mixes from your supermarket . They're laden with too much sugar and other additives your body does not need. You can also use low fat milk for this recipe.
