February 12, 2018Reviewer: A guest* Can't tell the difference between this low carb cocoa and the regular cocoa
-
January 01, 2018Reviewer: A customer in Texas* Taste is really good!!
-
December 17, 2017Reviewer: A customer in Connecticut* Very good prepared as directed. Detected the artificial sweetener taste a bit but overall creamy and delicious!
-
December 12, 2017Reviewer: Karen in Wisconsin* Delicious! Add heavy whipping cream to make it richer, a couple of drops of peppermint flavoring and top with whipping cream and it's even better and still low carb.
-
July 11, 2017Reviewer: Vicki in California* Love this stuff in coffee.
-
March 28, 2017Reviewer: Judith in California* Simply yummy and worth every penny. I like to add a little organic coconut oil to it. A two pound canister lasts us quite a long time now that we are empty nesters.
-
October 18, 2015Reviewer: Christina in California* Great taste, very low carb, this is a great choice for hot chocolate. You get the real taste of chocolate without added sugar.
-
March 23, 2015Reviewer: Crystal in Virginia* I have searched for a long time and this is one of the best low carb hot chocolates I have found--as long as you follow the directions. I actually use my coffee creamer for the 1 oz. cream and it gives it a richer flavor. The creamer I use is CoffeeMate Italian Sweet Cream.

November 02, 2014Reviewer: Teri in Wisconsin* Oh my...it is better than I thought it was going to be!
I added 1 creamer, and it was the bomb!

February 26, 2013Reviewer: Doug in Michigan* This is really, really good. I am particularly happy that Big Train uses erythritol and no maltitol (evil stuff I think is the primary cause behind failed low carb diets).
It tastes great and is quite low in carbs. I use heavy cream instead of half & half as it is lower in carbs and you don't need to use as much. I recommend adding the cream directly to the hot chocolate mix and mixing it into a consistent slurry before adding the hot water. This really helps eliminate floating clumps.
The only negative I can mention is that it does settle out more quickly than regular hot chocolate mix, so just get in the habit of giving it a stir every few sips.
I also really love this added to coffee for a very nice mocha treat.

July 16, 2012Reviewer: clyde in Michigan* When added to hot coffee, this product makes incredibly delicious CAFE MOCHA. I am totally addicted to this wonderful flavor addition to my coffee. Beats the competition at ST*******! Product used by Clyde's wife, Wendy.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 05, 2012Reviewer: B in Oklahoma* I've been enjoying this hot cocoa for several years now and have never had a better tasting cocoa. Occasionally I will add a package to a large cup of coffee and have a wonderful hot mocha drink that's lightly sweet and rich with flavor. None of the Big Trane products spike my blood sugar so I'm hoping they hang around for a very long time. It's nice to have genuine comfort foods without the negative impacts on my health. Thanks for carrying these products.This review is specific to Low Carb Hot Chocolate Mix

I made it with almond milk and I can't believe how good it is. Do not hesitate to buy this product!This review is specific to Carb Conscious Hot Chocolate Mix
-
January 15, 2011Reviewer: Anne in New York* This mix is delicious, low-carb, low calorie and has no soy like a lot of low-carb products. You can make it with milk instead of water and it's even more delicious!
-
January 12, 2011Reviewer: Kelly in Virginia* I really wish that I had listened to the review that said go ahead and order the big can the first time. I love this product, it tastes great. I mix a half a scoop with coffee for a low carb mocha. Great stuff!This review is specific to Carb Conscious Hot Chocolate Mix
-
January 07, 2011Reviewer: A customer in Oregon* This is delicious Hot Chocolate and being low carb is does not mess up my blood sugar.
It can be a bit difficult to dissolve. Just let it sit for a little bit then stir again.
-
July 02, 2010Reviewer: Heidi in California* This is the best hot chocolate around, I like it better than all sugar-sweetened hot chocolate also, now that is saying something :) It makes a delicious iced mocha too!This review is specific to Carb Conscious Hot Chocolate Mix

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 25, 2010Reviewer: Linette in Michigan* Big Train has the BEST low carb products I have tried so far. I have been enjoying the hot cocoa mix since Feb. 2004 and I highly recommend it! The cocoa is not too sweet, no funny after taste and does not at all taste "diet" like. It has a fantastic flavor and I drink it even when I fall off the low carb wagon.
-
September 16, 2009Reviewer: B in Oklahoma* Love the taste but have found it necessary to heat it a little more than the directions indicate. I also add a splash of half n half just to get a little more richness in the taste. Keep it on hand throughout the winter. It's great for a quick warm up. I like the convenience of the individual packs also.This review is specific to Low Carb Hot Chocolate Mix

5 of 5 people found the following review helpfulJuly 27, 2009Reviewer: Elizabeth in Tennessee* I was shocked at how good the hot chocolate mix was.. I just re-ordered and opted for the 2 lb can. I took the mix to work with me for an afternoon treat :) I didn't even add the half-n-half but I'm sure that a dash of cream would make it even better. I did add one splenda to it because I like my drinks sweeter than it was originally. I would recommend this to everyone who is watching carbs or sugar. I've been on Atkins for about 2 1/2 years now and have discovered a lot of "keepers" here at Netrition. The Big Train hot cocoa was one of them!
-
April 03, 2009Reviewer: Justin in Wisconsin* I was surprised how much like real hot chocolate this tastes like. It tastes EXACTLY like real hot chocolate. Very, very good product!
-
March 30, 2009Reviewer: Joanna in California* The best low carb hot chocolate out there!! It is creamy and doesn't clump up. It is creamy and rich tasting even with just water. I mix with water or soy milk with a little creamer or sugar free hazelnut flavor. This is an awesome product. It sells more than any other product I sell in my health club nutrition store!This review is specific to Carb Conscious Hot Chocolate Mix

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulOctober 25, 2008Reviewer: A customer in Tennessee* This cocoa has a weird sickly-sweet aftertaste like a lot of the low-carb products. It is very chocolaty and much better than the other low-carb cocoa I tried in the past but I don't really like it very well. I am really kicking myself for buying it now, because I compared the nutrition label on the back of the box of cheap, store-brand cocoa my roommate has and I found out that it really wasn't necessary to order this for my low-carb diet. She buys the low-fat kind and it has 4 carbs, 3 grams of sugar, and no sugar alcohols per serving. The Big Train cocoa has 4 net carbs, 2 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of sugar alcohol per serving and costs 4 times as much for a smaller box. The store brand also makes a sugar-free version so I am going to check that out the next time I go to the store. Not being able to have cocoa when it's chilly is one of my downfalls on this diet so I'm really glad I found that out.

September 24, 2008Reviewer: Stephen M in Pennsylvania* This is a great low carb cocoa. I like it better than any brand of regular cocoa. It is rich and chocolaty even when made with water.
-
August 01, 2008Reviewer: Terry in Illinois* ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My picky 14 year old boy loves it, (he's on meds that make you gain weight). We both enjoy it. It's so rich and creamy. For a special treat we add extracts like almond and then top with the LA NOUBA brand no carb marshmallows (from netrition.com). Wonderful!

November 23, 2007Reviewer: Melissa in Florida* Great product. Tastes just like regular hot chocolate when you add some coffee creamer and whip cream! There's no reason to drink carb filled hot chocolate anymore.This review is specific to Low Carb Hot Chocolate Mix

November 22, 2007Reviewer: Amy in Minnesota* I like this low-carb hot chocolate- I love cocoa in the winter, so this is definitely a keeper. Just a little whip cream on top- tastes like the sugared ones!!!This review is specific to Low Carb Hot Chocolate Mix
-
November 11, 2007Reviewer: Dawn in Minnesota* Sweet, chocolatey and warm on a cold winters day...add great tasting, and you have a great hot cocoa mix. I add a scoop to my coffee for a mocha treat too. My kids love the taste. It has a mild coconut flavor to it, so try the 5pk box first to make sure you like it.This review is specific to Carb Conscious Hot Chocolate Mix
-
October 23, 2007Reviewer: Jon in Wyoming* This is a wonderful substitute for any kind of hot chocolate. My wife and I especially love to add flavor substitutes that are also low in carb counts. You can hardly taste the difference.
-
September 20, 2007Reviewer: Laurie in New York* Tastes like regular Hot Chocolate to me. I haven't tried a lot of the other low carb hot chocolate mixes and I likely won't - since I didn't notice the difference between this and sweetened brands. Of course I've been doing the low carb diet for a while - so I'm sure I've gotten used to sugar free products.
Buy it - I don't think you'll have any complaints!
-
September 18, 2007Reviewer: Melissa in Arizona* Mmmmmmm. I have been eating low carb since 2003 so it had been a long time since I had hot chocolate. We got this for Christmas last year and everyone agreed that Big Train's hot chocolate tasted just like regular hot chocolate -- even people who do not eat low carb! I thought it was especially good with a low carb marshmallow on top (also available on Netrition!).
-
August 24, 2007Reviewer: Judy in Texas* This hot chocolate mix is better than any type of mix I've ever tried! No need to add sweetener, it's already perfect as it is. For extra richness, add 1/4 cup of cream, and you'll think you've gone to heaven!This review is specific to Low Carb Hot Chocolate Mix
-
July 02, 2007Reviewer: Dave in California* Being diabetic, I have tried many varieties of sugar-free and low-carb hot chocolate. This is by far the tastiest and most satisfying. It's great by itself, or add a little Davinci syrup for a real treat!This review is specific to Low Carb Hot Chocolate Mix

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 04, 2007Reviewer: Deborah in New York* I really like Big Train Low Carb Hot Chocolate Mix. It has a great taste and is just the right amount of carbs. I mix mine with low carb milk instead of water to increase my protein intake. It does take some work to mix this product as it does not dissolve the way most hot chocolate mixes do. I have tried different methods and short of putting it in a blender, can not find an efficient way to make it mix together without the clumping. Over all, it is still the best low carb hot chocolate I have discovered.
-
March 20, 2007Reviewer: A customer in Ohio* I find this to be a really good low carb hot chocolate. I think it is better than any I have found in the store, even though some may be lower in carbs than this product. To me taste is much more important. This has a nice chocolate taste and no horrible aftertaste like some do. I also like the fact that it does have a little bit of fiber and store brands do not. I am buying more of this product.

October 14, 2006Reviewer: James in Connecticut* After I spent a year losing 110 pounds, some things I knew I could never have again...one of them was hot chocolate, well, along comes this Big Train company, and WOW!, I can have hot chocolate again, in the big scheme of life is it big? no, but it's nice to have on those cold winter nights.
