Nutrition: 2.5g net carbs, calculated without cream topping.
I don't add sweetener, but add 1 tsp or more of powdered sweetener if you prefer.
For a more traditional hot chocolate, replace 2 tbsp of almond milk with double / heavy cream or coconut cream and omit the mct oil. (changes the nutrition to 2.8g net carbs per serving)
