Precious Moments is sad to announce that we will will be closing down Precious Moms on October 30th. Precious Moms was a wonderful outlet for news and information of dedicated moms and the decision to close the site was not an easy one. If there is any information or content you wish to save, please copy and save the information to your computer by October 30th. We appreciate your past support and input on the site.

Oh, man! I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. It’s hard to believe something this soothing and delicious is fat-free and sugar-free too.
 
2 cups water
2 packets dry fat-free, sugar-free hot chocolate mix*
4 tablespoons nonfat dairy liquid creamer
2 individual packets Splenda
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
 
Heat the water in a microwave for 2 minutes.

Put the water, hot chocolate mix, creamer, Splenda, and almond extract in a blender. Cover the blender, leaving a slight space between the lid and the blender to let steam escape.

Process in the blender on highest speed for 20 to 30 seconds, or until the mix has a nice frothy top when the blender is turned off.

Pour into two mugs and serve immediately.
