Keto Orange Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate sounds perfect as it is, but when combined with just a small amount of orange, the result is absolutely amazing. Although oranges are not typically recommended on the Keto diet, a small amount of orange juice doesn't have enough carbs to make much difference. This warm drink is an amazing treat for cold winter days or when you're craving something sweet and satisfying. It takes only 15 minutes to create a cup of this fantastic creamy drink you'll love.
Can I use orange extract instead of orange juice?
Yes, you can definitely add a few drops of orange extract or even use orange-flavored dark chocolate.
**Can I use another type of milk? **
Any type of Keto-friendly milk will work perfectly for this recipe. Our second choice would be unsweetened coconut milk.

I threw this out. It was too thick and not sweet at all. Waste of calories.

I use the "Well Naturally" No sugar added range. They have a range of flavours to choose from too, so a dark-chocolate-mint hot chocolate is also an option. Think there's also a salted caramel. I've only tried a few but they don't disappoint!
