The Best 10 Drinks You Can Enjoy if You Have Diabetes

#6 – Hot Chocolate

© Chowhound

Hot chocolate is one of the best mood-lifting drinks. Unfortunately, the coffeehouse versions of this heart-melting classic are loaded with carbs you certainly don’t need. Just a medium hot chocolate with low-fat milk has 60 grams!

The great news is that you can easily make your own satisfying mug for less than half of those carbs. Combine 1 cup of low-fat milk with 2 squares of 70% or more dark chocolate, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and a bit of cinnamon.

Melt the mixture in a saucepan, and enjoy your tasty heartwarming hot chocolate for only 23 g of carbs.
