Skinny Samoa Hot Chocolate

 Skinny Samoa Hot Chocolate is a delicious hot drink that is so rich and creamy you won’t know its healthier for you! The perfect way to indulge….without any of the guilt!

I don’t know about you, but I think it might be time for a Bachelor update! Are you watching? Did you see the 3-in-a-row marathon? Do you have any thoughts? I’ll keep the specifics to a minimum, since I’m sure many of you have no idea what I’m talking about…..but I can’t help myself! The Bachelor must be discussed!

 Let me just say I’m so sad to see Carly go…..I loved her tell it like it is attitude and sense of humor, and I’m pretty sure she was my front runner at this point in the game. I didn’t care one way or another about Britt, although there’s no WAY I could have seen her in Arlington, so Chris was smart to boot her. And I loved what he said to her about honesty and respect and the type of person he wants as a wife. (NOT her!) As for those remaining, my clear favorite is Kaitlyn…..not that it matters……

 It’s funny. Every new season I tell myself I think I might be getting too old for The Bachelor. But every new season I keep watching….and sooner or later I realize that age doesn’t matter when it comes to indulgence. Because indulgence is not about making sense. It’s about treating yourself to something you totally don’t need…..but just really want!

Skinny Samoa Hot Chocolate – Heaven in a glass!

I am definitely fully indulging in The Bachelor this season and having no regrets about it. When it comes to sweet treats, though, the whole “no regrets” thing isn’t as easy to come by. Of course I still want to indulge, but it can’t be at the expense of everything else! Which is why this Skinny Samoa Hot Chocolate made with Truvia® is my new best friend. Not only is it skinny…..but it’s absolutely delicious! So you can treat yourself to a Skinny Samoa Hot Chocolate and never give it a second thought. Which really frees you up to give more time and attention to The Bachelor……or then again, maybe not!
