This is my favorite alternative to milk-based hot cocoa!
2-3 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 cup vanilla-flavored soy milk (I use Vita Soy lite)
1. Pour the soy milk into a microwaveable mug and microwave on high for 1 minute.
2. Add the cocoa powder and sugar and stir well to combine.
3. Note: If using plain soy or rice milk, you can add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. I've also added almond extract with wonderful results!
4. The amounts can be tweaked depending on how chocolatey you like your cocoa!
5. Enjoy!

Try mixing the sugar and cocoa in the cup before adding the hot liquid.....or............a hand held emersion blender works good once it's made and you still can't get it smooth.

Kree,
My son just noticed your new picture and says that you look younger than in your other picture. Wish they could say the same about me!

Kandee has a good idea. I actually have started mixing together the cocoa and sugar and then adding the milk since posting this, because it does dissolve a lot better! I had some trouble with the same thing at first.

Lol, I don't know if that's a good thing or not! I know someday I'll be thankful that I look younger than my age, but at this point it would be nice to not be mistaken for a high school student (which I was once my senior year of college. sigh.)
