Thanks! Just this week, I got a box of non-fat dry milk to replace my coffee creamer. I like the idea of using unsweetened almond milk or the "Silk" creamer too! I'll have to try those!

That is why I quit coffee for a while... I don't know if I would enjoy it without that yummy transfat and all the calories that go with it. I guess it is back to milk and sugar.

For intense chocolate urges, buy UNSWEETENED hot cocoa. Store brands such as Nestle or Swiss Miss = too weak/processed. Splurge for a high-quality brand: Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa is a lifesaver.
Add a dairy/non-dairy component and sweetener. Anything from Coffee-Mate to skim milk to milk powder to creamers. Just keep the total calories 200 and under. This completely erased my chocolate and food cravings all day.
MORE INFORMATION:
Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa is just one of the many brands of hot cocoa that will work. You don't need to go on a witch hunt to find that specific one. Just make sure that your powder cocoa is 1) unsweetened 2) 100 % pure natural cocoa, and 3) unprocessed. The darker the chocolate, the better!
