After much trial and error I have finally tweaked the Trim, Healthy Mama (THM) recipe to [my] perfection!

Recipe

  • 4 tsp up to 1/4 cup xylitol, ground OR 1-3 TB Homemade Sweet Blend (see recipe below)
  • A few shakes of NuNaturals Pure Stevia Extract Powder (do not add if using Homemade Sweet Blend)
  • 1/4 cup pure cocoa
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1Tb cream (or cream cheese will also do the trick!) – *optional
  • ยผ tsp.ย of salt

*Optional additions: coconut, berries, chopped nuts, berries, peanut paste, etc. Maybe even a squirt of Nirvana Stevia Chocolate Drops.

Note: I have the handy dandy shaker that came with the NuNaturals Stevia. I open the lid to only have the powder come out from three little circles. I then give the Stevia about 3 gentle shakes. However, it’s all personal taste learned through trial and error.

A Serving Size is about one third of this mix at each sitting.

I only buy pure cocoa. Cacao is too expensive for me, and I don’t particularly see much difference between it and pure cocoa. Simply check the back of the packet for the ingredient list to ensure you have pure or 100% cocoa. Some producers add all sorts of sweeteners and fillers to their cocoa so you don’t want this.

Addendum 11/03/2015: I was finding my own Skinny Chocolate tweaks to be missing the spot… ย and then I stumbled across a homemade sweet blend that does the trick perfectly.

  • I tsp. THM Pure Stevia Extract
  • 1 cup erythritol
  • 1 cup Xylitol

Blend together in processor or bullet. Use spoon for spoon.
