What is your yummy treat you've discovered on HCG? Mine is Guayaki Yerba Mate Tea with Vanilla Stevia. Yummy!!! (http://guayaki.com/). Simple pleasures!

I am looking forward to trying some of the flavorful teas out there (yerba and yogi come to mind) next time I have a chance to shop in the states, but for now I'm making up my own drinks and have recently rediscovered the joys of cocoa powder. I am still on P2 so I am choosing to avoid stuff like cocoa crack even though many do fine, but I decided to try a little bit of cocoa powder mixed in with my club soda with some vanilla stevia drops to sweeten it up and it was like a chocolate soda, soooo yummy and filling. My only issue was that the cocoa floats and doesn't mix well so 1st time I did this I, having a very blond moment, decided to shake it up with a covered cup, which worked except for the exploding liquid that sprayed out the top. So today I put a little hot water and cocoa in my cup and whisked real well till blended and then poured my club and stevia in and it was just as good and lot let mess to clean up!!!

My other yummy is to take strawberries (all I can get right now are frozen) and add a little water and a bunch of powdered stevia to a pot and boil the heck out of it (simmer) until it makes a strawberry "syrup". I put the chunks of strawberries in the freezer and let my syrup cool and then add my strawberry ice cubes and syrup to club/seltzer and its like strawberry soda.

I've just been introduced to flavored Stevia this round, wasn't available to me last time. The Hazelnut is Awesome!! I feel like I'm having some indulgent coffee when I drink one.

I didn't get a chance to try the flavored stevia until 1/2 through or so and am sooo glad I found them! I can see me drinking my own "sodas" for the rest of my life, weightloss needed or not, they are sooo good and so much better than real soda!
I only have vanilla and english toffee right now (but ordered lemon drop and rootbeer) and I like to mix equal parts of toffee/vanilla with seltzer and it takes very similar to a cream soda, yum! And also I take club soda, add in some fresh or concentrate lime and lemon juice and then some vanilla stevia (if I had plain liquid I'm sure that would be fine too), and once you figure out the right amounts of each to use I swear it tastes EXACTLY like Sprite!

My favorite 'treat', is cubing my apple, sprinkling with ground clove, cinnamon (dash of natural vanilla extract optional), and stevia, then nuking 2-3 mins (prefer not to nuke, but refuse to turn on the oven for one apple). Like apple pie w/o the crust.

My favorite treat is to slice strawberries thin and toss with stevia, cinnamon, and a little bit of water so it makes a nice sweet syrup. Yum!
