7 Recipes For Apple Cider and Hazelnut Hot Chocolate Boost

The cold weather is rolling in, the holidays are coming, and there’s nothing better than putting on your best fuzzy socks and curling up with a yummy warm drink. Just imagine yourself wrapped in a blanket next to the fire with a mug of something hot and delicious.

All this sounds amazing to be sure, so what’s the downside? Well, usually all these drinks are loaded with calories. Drinking calories can make it really easy to go over your daily intake. Drinks like hot chocolate and cider can be as much as 600 calories!

That’s why we created Hazelnut Hot Chocolate IdealBoost and Autumn Apple Cider IdealBoost, 2 new seasonal IdealBoost drink mix flavors, that give you ALL of the yumminess without filling you with empty calories. They taste exactly like your regular hazelnut hot chocolate and cider.

Doesn’t get any better than that, right?

Just imagine yourself indulging in a cup of liquid Nutella every morning. Or a warm spicey cup of apple cider with your protein waffles.

Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? Yeah, we know! Literally, you’ll be living on this stuff because it’s so delicious! But that’s not even the best part!

Not only do these flavors taste AMAZING, they’re designed with ingredients to help give you a boost of energy and hunger control to help keep you on track during your busy days! Hazelnut Hot Chocolate IdealBoost and Autumn Apple Cider IdealBoost are so delicious on their own. Just mix a packet with water, shake it up, and you’re ready to go!
