Shopping Tips
Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Breeze (Almond Coconut Blend) can be found in most supermarkets in the refrigerated section near the milk. I also buy it at Target. It’s so yummy and has only 40 calories per cup! Or use your favorite unsweetened, non-dairy drink such as vanilla almond or vanilla coconut milk. Be sure to buy a good quality, unsweetened cocoa. I like ones like Ghirardelli, Droste or Scharffen Berger. For gluten-free, use brands such as Scharffen Berger or Hershey’s dark. These cocoas are usually found in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips.
