Gestational Diabetes Friendly Hot Chocolate
When I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 28 weeks pregnant, I had to find a way to enjoy my night-time "sweet treat" WITHOUT spiking my sugar. I developed this low(er) carb hot chocolate with only 13 grams carbs, 21 grams fat, and 3-13 grams of protein (depending on if you add the collagen or not). I hope you enjoy!
