You can mix the hot chocolate hot or cold, however, we suggest adding boiling water first to ensure it mixes properly.
We have also had customers mix the powders into smoothies, yoghurt and protein balls.

Thaumatin is a natural sweetener and flavour enhancer derived from the katemfe fruit, a plant native to West Africa. It's one of the sweetest substances known — roughly 2,000–3,000 times sweeter than sugar by weight, so only a tiny amount is needed and despite its sweetness, it's actually a protein, which makes it unique among sweeteners.
-
We have not added gluten to our products, however we cannot declare gluten free without testing. This is something we are working on, over the next batch releases.

You may find the stevia in our products too sweet. We are currently working on taking it out and relying solely on thaumatin to keep the sweetness, while maintaining the flavors and disguising some of the bitter flavors of the raw materials. In the meantime, you may split dose the products - ½ scoop, twice per day, so that you still get your daily dose over the day.
