I don't know that the powdered soy really does a whole lot, to be honest. Made it a bit more creamy, maybe with the full amount. Hey, so long as there's enough chocolate flavor, I'm good to go!

I agree; it's nice to have something different to drink besides water or herbal tea.

Is this recipe meant to be used with boiling water or hot soy milk?

I use it with water, but it might be worth a try with soy milk. Let us know how it tastes.

How much of the mixture do you put in a mug of water?

I notice most recipes here include sugar. While sugar is not a trigger food, it's still unhealthy, for everyone, not just IBS users. Artificial sweeteners are just as bad if not worse. I recommend agave nectar, which is the juice of the agave cactus plant. I use it everywhere I want sweetening. It has a very low glycemic index, which means it doesn't produce sugar spikes (i.e. cravings) and requires far fewer calories to burn off. Just thought I'd contribute something, here, since I'm asking for so much help on these boards.

We fight about sugar all the time on here. I'm in the "sugar is fine" camp, other people are in the "avoid it like the plague" camp.

Thanks for your suggestion of agave nectar. Artificial sweeteners are really bad for IBS so I know those who want to avoid sugar are always grateful for alternatives. Stevia also seems to be a popular sweetener around here.
