Die-hard WLS folk are always looking for the most current raves... and I am all about sharing the wealth of information! One product that I have used is called Gosh That's Good!  However, it found its way to the backside of my cupboard, and I recently "resurrected" it!  It comes in sugar free mocha and sugar free white velvet. These can be made into both hot and cold drinks, or as additives in your other favorite foods/beverages. 

 

The line of products is not made by a bariatric marketing company or specifically for gastric bypass patients, but you will absolutely love them (guilt free)!  Here are a few benefits of using the sugar free products:

  • Low carb
  • No sugar
  • Chocolatey goodness
  • Deep, rich flavor
  • Will make your chocolate loving heart SING!
I opened the packet, and immediately the capturing aroma Pillsbury chocolate cake mix drifted out. Ahhhh, that smell was intoxicating! I almost went into a daze thinking about chocolate cake, piled high with chocolate icing! Snap out of it, Melinda!  And, the chocolate cake smell stays with the mixture, making it a much more pleasurable drinking experience.

Preparation:  I heated up 6 oz of nonfat milk/3 oz of water in the microwave, then dumped the powder on top. I started to stir and wondered, "Is this going to dissolve well?" Normally you are supposed to put the powder in, then pour the liquid on top... It started to dissolve fairly quickly as I stirred my spoon around and did not leave clumps! OK that gets an "A" in my book!

Finished product:  It still smelled like chocolate cake (the powder out of the box), and then chocolate cake batter! OH man alive heaven gee gosh pete! I love that smell... the color of the drink is very deep chocolate brown, and it is very satisfying. One cup was plenty and my desire for anything else was taken away. I have three words to describe the drink: LIQUID CHOCOLATEY GOODNESS!

I have been using another brand of hot chocolate but this is definitely coming out of the cabinet more frequently!  Now for those of you "protein divas" who must have protein in every single thing you eat or drink, you can also enhance the deep velvety chocolate goodness of your protein shakes.  Just cut back on the amount of protein powder (perhaps 3/4 scoop instead of one full) and add a few tblsp of Gosh That's Good Mocha powder.  This is definitely the making of another delicious protein drink.
