Never deprive yourself of chocolate
New York City's Serendipity 3 is famous for serving decadent desserts with rich toppings. The portions are outrageous! The cafe's a fun place to satisfy a sweet tooth for locals and tourists alike. The Frrrozen Hot Chocolate
, its signature drink, was featured on The Early Show and Oprah, and extolled as something chocolate lovers must try before they die. Well, that is a tall order ... but ... I think I've come up with a chocolaty and equally satisfying low-fat-low-calorie version that you can make at home. My healthy shake is loaded with vitamins, minerals and protein, the building blocks of the body. And it's delicious! I love smoothies and cold, slurpy drinks, especially on hot summer days. My taste-alike-drink definitely takes care of a chocolate craving. It's so simple to prepare and costs a lot less too.

Here's my Frozen Hot Chocolate recipe:
1 envelope Carnation Dark Chocolate Instant Breakfast
10 oz skim milk
4 ice cubes
1 teaspoon sugar, or sweetener
[Optional: Add an extra teaspoon of real cocoa powder. However, it's chocolate rich without it.]
Throw all the ingredients into a blender. Blend for a few minutes until the ice is crushed, and the chocolate mixture is smooth. Pour into a tall glass and serve.
You can top with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder and whipped cream, if you like. The extras are between you and your waistline. Enjoy!
