    Default Cocoa/hot chocolate

    hello

    I drink about 3- 4 cups of rice milk and cocoa a day! lol
    its naturally sweet so i do not need sugar like with tea.

    not sure if it is very healthy? But its yummsy :P

    anyone else love rice milk n cocoa!?

    I've only had rice milk about once, I think. I tend to get soya milk very infrequently as I struggle to use it all before it goes off, but if I have cocoa it's either made with soya milk or watered down coconut milk

    Default Re: hot cocoa / rice milk

    I love cocoa especially on cold evenings. I use rice milk or oat milk depending on what I've got to hand. It goes really thick and creamy with the oat milk.

    I like a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.

    Sometimes I mix hershey's syrup with rice milk and heat it up. Does that count?

    Default Alternative to Hot Chocolate

    You know that Hazelnut and Almond Rice Dream? It's really nice heated up! I think I actually prefer it to hot chocolate.

    What about making hot chocolate with that milk? That must be good, kinda praline flavour.

    It IS nice in hot chocolate Then my boyfriend got addicted to hot chocolate and started getting palpitations from the caffeine! So we missed out the chocolate part! The problem is what to call it. I think we're going with 'Not Chocolate'

    Mmm, I'm not sure I've even tried hazelnut and almond Rice Dream - is it widely available? One way to find out...

    it's really hard to get the hazelnut and almond Rice Dream near me, most shops don't sell it and Holland & Barrett are always out of stock.

    So of course this thread has given me a craving and I looked for that rice dream at the store yesterday. They didn't have it, but I will persevere!

    I saw some in my local H&B today, but I really can't justify £1.99 a carton while I'm looking for work

    Soon as I'm earning though, I'm buying some

    This stuff might not even be available in the US....horrors! I did find almond milk and hazelnut milk. I thought about buying them and mixing them but didn't.

    Okay, I'm obviously suggestible because I got some today! So some of you just heat it and drink it as is and some of you add chocolate powder to it? What shall I do?!

    I thought that, too, but it's too thin and not strong enough to work with alcohol added to it.

    Ohh, I've never had Hazelnut and Almond Rice Dream...that sounds amazing...though I do also love the idea of making hot chocolate with that...I'll have to try it ASAP! Though I'll need to find the H&ARD first...maybe I'll be lucky at Holland and Barett!

    So I tried it and thought it was pretty horrid (on it's own and with chocolate powder).

    I can't dinf Hazelnut and Almond Rice Dream anywhere *sigh*

    Am going to trapise over to the massive Sainsburys in the next town over soon, though! They have a much bigger FreeFrom range, and hopefully more Rice Dream!

    Oh, I love them.

    Now that the weather is cooling down a bit I may have to start drinking a nice cup of cocoa with nutmeg before bed.

    Mmm, I was amazed to come accross the Hazelnut & Almond Rice Dream in H&B yesterday...have tried it, but I have to admit that I wasn't overly impressed! It's nice...but I wouldn't use it as a substitute for Hot Chocolate
