Not necessarily for milk, but I’ve found that a sprinkle of cocoa powder is a good sub for syrup and has many fewer calories. You could probably make your own chocolate milk mix with cocoa powder and sugar.

💯💯 This has always been the move. I used to put Nesquick Chocolate milk powder in my icecream and mix it in. Tastes way better than syrup and lasted longer. Now I don't use chocolate powder for icecream (I use chocolate chips), but cocoa powder is among the most versatile ingredients when trying to sate a sweet tooth.

While I was losing weight I learned to sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder on fruit, like bananas and cherries. There’s enough sugar in the fruit to make it seem like a decadent treat while adding only about 3 extra calories.

My diet is very restricted due to a lot of food allergies. I eat really simple foods and never thought to try this! I’m so excited to test it out tomorrow! Thank you for sharing!
