Small Changes Make Big Difference

When you add them up, small changes can make a big difference in your health.
Here's one for the chilly days we're having:
Brrr – it’s getting cold and your kids want hot chocolate. Instead of buying the prefilled packets, get a no sugar added variety that comes in a cardboard can. Then, try using half the recommended amount of cocoa. Fill the cup 2/3 to 3/4 full with hot water, and fill the rest with low fat milk. If this does not work for your kids, add more cocoa until it tastes good to them (so far so good with half in my household).
Not only is this less sugar and more milk, it’s much CHEAPER than buying the packets (even if you use the full amount of cocoa). I originally used packets and split each one into 2 cups of cocoa, but my kids busted me. This way they don’t know the difference.
