If you're searching for a sugar free sipping chocolate mix that actually tastes like premium European drinking chocolate - rich, thick, deeply cocoa-forward, and genuinely satisfying - you already know how hard that is to find at low carb macros.
Most keto hot chocolate mixes solve the sugar problem by loading up on sugar alcohols like erythritol or maltitol. They technically hit the "no added sugar" label, but they leave a cooling aftertaste, cause digestive distress, and in the case of maltitol, spike blood sugar almost as much as regular sugar.
This guide shows you how to make a genuinely clean low carb sipping chocolate - and how to use it six different ways beyond a basic hot cup. Whether you're looking for a keto sipping chocolate for your morning routine, a sugar free hot chocolate mix for the holidays, a low carb drinking chocolate for cold nights, or a diabetic-friendly chocolate drink that doesn't compromise on flavor - this guide covers it all.
One mix. Six recipes. 1.5g net carbs per serving every time.
What Is Sipping Chocolate? (And How Is It Different from Hot Chocolate?)
This is one of the most-searched questions in the category - and the answer matters when you're choosing a low carb chocolate drink mix.
Sipping chocolate vs. hot chocolate
Regular hot chocolate is typically made from cocoa powder, sugar, and milk, producing a lighter, thinner chocolate drink. Sipping chocolate - sometimes called drinking chocolate or European drinking chocolate - is thicker, richer, and more intensely chocolatey. It uses a higher ratio of cocoa to liquid and is designed to be sipped slowly rather than gulped quickly.
French drinking chocolate, Spanish hot chocolate, Belgian drinking chocolate, and Italian sipping chocolate all fall into this category - thick, luxurious, almost molten chocolate in a cup. That's the flavor and texture profile this mix is designed to replicate, just without the sugar and at 1.5g net carbs per serving.
What makes this sipping chocolate different from regular cocoa powder
| Feature | This Keto Sipping Chocolate Mix | Regular Cocoa Powder | Standard Hot Chocolate Mix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net Carbs per Serving | 1.5g | 1-2g (unsweetened) | 20-25g |
| Added Sugar | 0g | 0g | 15-20g |
| Fiber | 9g (32% DV) | 1-2g | 1g |
| Sweetener | Allulose + Monkfruit | None | Sugar |
| Sugar Alcohols | None | None | Often yes |
| Gluten Free | Yes | Usually yes | Often no |
| Grain Free | Yes | Yes | Often no |
| Ready to Mix | Yes | No | Yes |
The key difference from just using unsweetened cocoa powder: this mix already has the sweetener built in using allulose and monkfruit - the two cleanest, zero-glycemic natural sweeteners available - plus soluble tapioca fiber for texture and a legitimately high fiber count. You get café-quality drinking chocolate without measuring out separate sweeteners.
Is sipping chocolate good for you?
At 70 calories as prepared, 9g fiber (32% DV), 2g protein, 0g added sugar, and 1.5g net carbs per serving, this low carb sipping chocolate is significantly more nutritionally sound than any sugar-sweetened hot chocolate mix. Natural cocoa powder is rich in flavonoids - plant compounds with antioxidant properties. The allulose sweetener has zero glycemic impact and does not raise blood sugar. The soluble tapioca fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria. For a chocolate drink, this is about as clean as it gets.

| Nutrient | Per Serving (Mix) | As Prepared |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 30 | 70 |
| Total Fat | 0g | 3.5g |
| Total Carbs | 24g | 25g |

How net carbs work here: 24g total carbs - 9g fiber - allulose (not metabolized, does not count toward net carbs) = 1.5g net carbs per serving. Allulose is a rare natural sugar that passes through the body without being absorbed - it's why the glycemic impact is essentially zero despite the carb count on the label.

How to Make Classic Hot Keto Sipping Chocolate
This is the foundational recipe - rich, thick, warming drinking chocolate served hot. The base everything else builds from.
Recipe Details:
- Prep Time: 2 minutes
- Cook Time: 3-5 minutes
- Total Time: 7 minutes
- Servings: 1 cup
- Course: Drink, Dessert
- Cuisine: American, European-Inspired
- Diet: Keto, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Diabetic-Friendly, Sugar Free
- Difficulty: Easy
What You Need:
- 3 tablespoons (1 serving) Good Dee's Sipping Chocolate Keto Friendly Drink Mix
- 8 oz unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or whole milk (your preference)
- Optional: pinch of sea salt to enhance chocolate flavor
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make It:
- Heat your milk: Pour 8 oz of your chosen milk into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling - small bubbles around the edges, not a rolling boil.
- Whisk in the mix: Add 3 tablespoons of the sipping chocolate mix directly to the hot milk. Whisk continuously for 60-90 seconds until fully dissolved and smooth. No clumps.
- Optional thickness: For a thicker, European-style drinking chocolate, reduce heat to low and continue whisking for another 2 minutes. The mix will thicken slightly as it heats.
- Taste and adjust: Add a pinch of sea salt if desired - it dramatically deepens the chocolate flavor. Add vanilla extract for warmth.
- Pour and serve: Transfer to your mug immediately. Serve hot.
Makes: 1 serving Per cup: 1.5g net carbs, 2g protein, 9g fiber, 70 calories (as prepared with unsweetened almond milk) Total time: 7 minutes
How it tastes: The first thing you notice is the depth - this drinks like European sipping chocolate, not American hot cocoa. The Dutch cocoa powder creates an intensely rich, slightly bitter chocolate base that the allulose sweetens without any of the cooling aftertaste you get from erythritol. The texture is thicker than standard hot chocolate, with a velvety quality that coats the palate. There's no sugar alcohol aftertaste, no chemical sweetener note, and no thinness. This tastes like premium gourmet sipping chocolate that happens to be low carb.
Serving tip: Top with a tablespoon of unsweetened whipped cream dusted with a pinch of the dry mix. For holiday serving, add a few keto sprinkles or sugar free chocolate sprinkles on top of the whipped cream.
Cold Keto Drinking Chocolate (Chocolate Milk Alternative)
The same mix makes an excellent cold drinking chocolate - a genuinely satisfying low carb chocolate milk alternative that works as a post-workout drink, an afternoon snack, or a dessert.
Recipe Details:
- Prep Time: 3 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes (plus optional chill time)
- Servings: 1 glass
- Course: Drink, Snack
- Cuisine: American
- Diet: Keto, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Diabetic-Friendly
- Difficulty: Easy
Key Method for Cold Version:
- Mix the base: Add 3 tablespoons of the sipping chocolate mix to a small bowl or jar. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water first and whisk into a smooth paste. This step prevents clumping in cold liquid.
- Add cold milk: Pour 8 oz cold unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice) into a glass. Add the chocolate paste and stir or shake vigorously until fully combined.
- Ice it: Pour over a glass full of ice. Serve immediately.
- Blender method (smoother): Combine mix, 2 tablespoons warm water, and 8 oz cold milk in a blender. Blend 20 seconds. Pour over ice.
Makes: 1 serving Per glass: 1.5g net carbs Perfect for: Post-workout recovery, afternoon snack, keto-friendly breakfast drink, summer chocolate craving
Taste and texture: Cold sipping chocolate has a noticeably different character than hot - the cocoa flavor is cleaner and brighter, less intense but more refreshing. Over ice it drinks similarly to premium chocolate milk but without the 25g of sugar. The allulose sweetness comes through more distinctly when cold, which works in its favor - it's sweet enough to feel indulgent without any of the heaviness of hot drinking chocolate.
Keto Chocolate Mocha Recipe (Coffee + Sipping Chocolate)
One of the most popular uses for this mix: adding it to coffee for a low carb keto mocha. Better than most coffee shop versions and a fraction of the carbs.
Recipe Details:
- Prep Time: 3 minutes
- Cook Time: 2 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Servings: 1 drink
- Course: Drink, Breakfast
- Cuisine: American, Café-Style
- Diet: Keto, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Diabetic-Friendly
- Difficulty: Easy
What You Need:
- 3 tablespoons Good Dee's Sipping Chocolate Keto Friendly Drink Mix
- 1 shot espresso (or 4 oz strong brewed coffee)
- 6 oz steamed or heated unsweetened almond milk
- Optional: unsweetened whipped cream on top
How to Make It:
- Brew your coffee: Pull a shot of espresso or brew 4 oz of very strong coffee.
- Mix chocolate base: Whisk 3 tablespoons of the sipping chocolate mix into the hot espresso or coffee immediately. The heat dissolves the mix quickly and evenly.
- Add steamed milk: Pour 6 oz of steamed unsweetened almond milk over the chocolate coffee base. Stir to combine.
- Top and serve: Add unsweetened whipped cream if desired. A light dusting of the dry mix on top completes the café presentation.
Makes: 1 mocha Per drink: Approximately 1.5g net carbs (from the sipping chocolate mix portion) Perfect for: Keto-friendly breakfast, replacing expensive coffee shop drinks, afternoon pick-me-up
Taste and texture: This is legitimately better than most café mochas. The Dutch cocoa powder has more depth and complexity than the syrup-based chocolate flavoring most coffee shops use, and because there's no sugar syrup involved, the coffee flavor isn't drowned out. The allulose sweetness is clean and doesn't compete with the espresso. If you're spending $6-8 on a keto mocha at a coffee shop, this is the at-home version that costs a fraction of that per serving.
Iced mocha variation: Follow the same steps but use cold brew instead of hot espresso, skip the steaming, and pour everything over ice.
Keto Chocolate Smoothie (High Fiber, Low Carb)
Blend the sipping chocolate mix into a protein smoothie for a chocolate-forward, high-fiber keto breakfast that keeps you full for hours.
Recipe Details:
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Servings: 1 smoothie
- Course: Drink, Breakfast
- Cuisine: American
- Diet: Keto, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Diabetic-Friendly
- Difficulty: Easy
What You Need:
- 3 tablespoons Good Dee's Sipping Chocolate Keto Friendly Drink Mix
- 8 oz unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter (optional)
- 1/4 avocado (optional - adds creaminess and healthy fat)
- 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder (optional)
How to Make It:
- Add all ingredients to a blender
- Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth
- Taste - add more ice for thickness or a splash more milk for thinner consistency
- Pour and serve immediately
Makes: 1 smoothie Per smoothie: Approximately 2-3g net carbs (varies by optional additions) Perfect for: Keto-friendly breakfast ideas, post-workout, meal replacement, anyone needing high fiber in the morning
Taste and texture: With avocado added, this smoothie has a genuinely thick, milkshake-like quality - the avocado fat creates an almost ice cream-level creaminess without dairy. The Dutch cocoa flavor comes through clearly even blended with other ingredients. The 9g fiber from the mix makes this one of the highest-fiber breakfast drinks you can make at under 3g net carbs. A practical alternative for anyone following low carb baking mixes and low carb cooking who also wants a convenient grab-and-go morning drink.
Chocolate Whipped Cream & Dessert Topping (Sugar Free)
Stir the sipping chocolate mix directly into whipped cream for an instant chocolate topping that works on anything - keto brownies, low carb cakes, pancakes, and more.
Recipe Details:
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Servings: 4-6 tablespoons
- Course: Condiment, Dessert Topping

- Add 1 tablespoon of the sipping chocolate mix and vanilla extract if using
- Continue whipping until stiff peaks form - the mix will fully incorporate and turn the cream a rich chocolate color
- Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours
Makes: 4-6 tablespoons Per tablespoon: Approximately 0.5g net carbs Perfect for: Topping keto brownies, low carb cake mixes, keto pancake mix stacks, chia pudding, keto-friendly breakfast ideas
Taste and texture: The chocolate whipped cream that comes out of this is genuinely spectacular - silky, intensely chocolatey, sweet without being cloying, and stable enough to hold its shape for hours. Use it wherever you'd use any whipped cream topping. It pairs particularly well with Good Dee's keto baking mixes - dolloped on keto brownies, spread between cake layers from a low carb cake mix, or served alongside keto cookies.
Keto Chia Pudding with Sipping Chocolate
A high-fiber, make-ahead breakfast or dessert that comes together in minutes and refrigerates overnight. The sipping chocolate mix dissolves directly into the chia base for effortless chocolate flavor.
Recipe Details:
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Chill Time: 4 hours or overnight
- Total Time: 5 minutes active
- Servings: 2
- Course: Breakfast, Dessert
- Diet: Keto, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Diabetic-Friendly, Sugar Free
- Difficulty: Easy
What You Need:

Best Milk for Keto Sipping Chocolate (And How Each One Changes the Drink)
The milk you choose changes everything - the texture, the sweetness, the calorie count, and how keto-friendly the final drink actually is. Here's the honest breakdown.
Unsweetened Almond Milk (Best overall for keto)
- Net carbs per cup: 0-1g
- Calories per cup: 30-40
- Fat: 2.5g
- Result: The lightest, most neutral base - lets the cocoa flavor dominate without adding competing sweetness. Produces a thinner drinking chocolate, closer to European hot cocoa than thick sipping chocolate. Best for mochas, smoothies, and cold drinks.
- Verdict: Best default choice for strict keto and calorie-conscious drinkers.
Unsweetened Coconut Milk (carton, not canned) (Best for flavor)
- Net carbs per cup: 1-2g
- Calories per cup: 45-50
- Fat: 4.5g
- Result: Adds a subtle natural sweetness and creaminess that enhances the chocolate without overpowering it. The coconut fat creates a silkier mouthfeel than almond milk. Works exceptionally well hot.
- Verdict: Best choice if you want a richer, more luxurious sipping chocolate without going to full-fat dairy.
Full-Fat Canned Coconut Milk (Best for thick European-style sipping chocolate)
- Net carbs per cup: 6-8g (higher - factor into daily macros)
- Calories per cup: 400-445
- Fat: 43-48g
- Result: Produces the thickest, most indulgent drinking chocolate - closest to French or Spanish style thick hot chocolate. Genuinely rich and filling. Best used at half portions (4 oz canned coconut milk + 4 oz water) to control calories.
- Verdict: Best for a true gourmet sipping chocolate experience. Watch carb count if strict keto.
Whole Dairy Milk (Best for kids and non-keto family members)
- Net carbs per cup: 11-12g (highest - not strict keto)
- Calories per cup: 150
- Fat: 8g
- Result: The most familiar, creamy result - tastes closest to traditional hot chocolate. The natural sugars in dairy milk add sweetness that complements the sipping chocolate mix beautifully.
- Verdict: Great for family members not following keto. Not recommended for strict keto unless you have significant remaining carb budget.
Unsweetened Oat Milk (Good for texture, moderate carbs)
- Net carbs per cup: 7-9g (moderate)
- Calories per cup: 90-120
- Fat: 1.5-3g
- Result: Creamy, naturally sweet, and produces a very smooth drinking chocolate. The oat sweetness pairs well with cocoa. However, the carb count is significantly higher than almond or coconut milk.
- Verdict: Good choice if you're low carb but not strict keto, or if texture is your priority over macro precision.
Macadamia Milk (Best premium keto option)
- Net carbs per cup: 0-1g
- Calories per cup: 50-60
- Fat: 4.5g
- Result: Naturally buttery and rich, macadamia milk sits between almond milk and coconut milk in texture. Slightly sweet on its own, which complements the allulose sweetener without adding carbs.
- Verdict: Premium option for keto drinkers who want more richness than almond milk without the carbs of coconut milk.
Quick Reference: Best Milk for Keto Hot Chocolate
| Milk | Net Carbs | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Unsweetened Almond | 0-1g | Strict keto, mochas, cold drinks |
| Unsweetened Coconut (carton) | 1-2g | Rich hot drinking chocolate |
| Macadamia | 0-1g | Premium keto, creamy texture |
| Full-Fat Coconut (canned) | 6-8g | Thick European-style sipping chocolate |
| Unsweetened Oat | 7-9g | Low carb (not strict keto) |
| Whole Dairy | 11-12g | Family use, non-keto members |
Bottom line: For strict keto, unsweetened almond milk or macadamia milk are the lowest-carb choices. For the best-tasting sipping chocolate regardless of carb count, full-fat coconut milk is unmatched. For everyday use that balances flavor and macros, unsweetened carton coconut milk is the sweet spot.
Can Kids Drink Keto Sipping Chocolate?
This is a high-traffic question for parents managing their own keto or diabetic diet who want to know if the same drink is safe for their children - and the answer is nuanced.
The short answer: Yes, with context.
Good Dee's Sipping Chocolate Keto Friendly Drink Mix contains only three ingredients - Dutch cocoa powder, allulose and monkfruit sweetener blend, and soluble tapioca fiber. There are no artificial sweeteners, no caffeine, no sugar alcohols, and no ingredients that are inherently unsafe for children.
What parents should know:
Allulose and kids Allulose is a naturally occurring rare sugar found in figs, raisins, jackfruit, and maple syrup. It's been granted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status by the FDA. There are no age restrictions on allulose consumption. That said, large amounts of allulose in a single sitting can cause digestive discomfort in some people - including children - due to its fermentable properties. A single serving of the sipping chocolate mix is well within a comfortable range for most children over 3.
Monkfruit and kids Monkfruit sweetener has been used in Chinese traditional medicine for centuries and carries GRAS status in the USA, Canada, and most of Europe. It has no known adverse effects for children at normal consumption levels.
Soluble tapioca fiber and kids Tapioca fiber is derived from cassava root - a food eaten globally by billions of people including children. The 9g of fiber per serving is on the higher end for young children (the RDA for fiber for kids aged 4-8 is 19-25g per day). For children under 5, consider using half a serving to avoid excess fiber at once.
The cocoa consideration Natural cocoa powder contains small amounts of caffeine - approximately 12mg per tablespoon, compared to 95mg in a cup of coffee. One serving of this mix uses approximately 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, putting the caffeine content at roughly 12-15mg per prepared cup. For comparison, a can of Coca-Cola contains about 34mg. Most pediatric guidelines suggest limiting caffeine for children under 12 and avoiding it for children under 5. If you're making this for young children, consider that context.
Recommended approach by age:
| Age Group | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Under 2 | Not recommended - introduce cocoa cautiously |
| 2-5 years | Half serving maximum, use with whole milk, occasional use |
| 6-12 years | Full serving is fine, consider caffeine content |
| 12+ years | Full serving appropriate, same as adult use |
Why parents actually love this for older kids: Unlike regular hot chocolate mixes loaded with 20-25g of sugar per cup, this sipping chocolate mix gives kids the same chocolate experience at 1.5g net carbs and zero added sugar. For families managing a child's blood sugar, avoiding processed sugar, or simply trying to reduce sugar in the household, this is one of the best chocolate drink swaps available. Made with whole milk, it tastes identical to premium hot chocolate - kids don't notice the difference.
Pairing suggestion: Serve with a keto cookie mix treat or a low carb brownie mix square for a genuinely indulgent sugar-free after-school snack that parents feel good about.
Sipping Chocolate Meal Prep: 10 Servings, All Month
Batch prep approach: Unlike baking mixes, the sipping chocolate mix requires zero prep ahead of time - the dry mix stores perfectly in the bag for its full shelf life. What you can prep ahead:
Pre-portioned servings: Measure out 3-tablespoon portions into small zip bags or a spice jar. Label with the date. Pre-portioning makes it faster to make a morning cup and reduces the chance of over-measuring.
Mocha concentrate: Mix 3 tablespoons of the sipping chocolate mix with 2 oz hot espresso to make a chocolate coffee concentrate. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Add steamed or cold milk to activate each morning - 30 seconds total prep.
Chocolate whipped cream batch: Make a full batch of chocolate whipped cream (see recipe above) and refrigerate in an airtight container. Lasts 24-48 hours. Ready to top anything from keto pancake mix stacks to keto brownies throughout the week.
Results: A full month of low carb sipping chocolate from one bag, 10 servings total, at 1.5g net carbs per serving every time.
Storage & Freshness Guide
Dry mix (sealed bag):
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat
- Once opened, reseal tightly after each use
- Shelf life: follow the best-by date on the package
- Do not store near the stovetop or in humid environments - moisture causes clumping
Prepared hot drink:
- Best consumed immediately while hot
- Can be refrigerated and reheated - quality is slightly reduced but still good
- Reheat gently over low heat or in the microwave for 45-60 seconds, stir before drinking
Prepared cold drink:
- Drink immediately or within a few hours over ice
- Prepared cold chocolate milk (without ice) can be refrigerated up to 24 hours
- Shake or stir before drinking if stored - some settling is normal
Chocolate whipped cream:
- Refrigerate in an airtight container
- Best within 24-48 hours
- Do not freeze - texture becomes watery when thawed
Troubleshooting Common Keto Sipping Chocolate Problems
Why is my sipping chocolate lumpy? The mix is not fully dissolving before the liquid cools. Always add the mix to hot liquid and whisk immediately and continuously for at least 60 seconds. For cold drinks, create a paste first by mixing the powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water before adding cold milk. A milk frother works better than a spoon and creates a completely smooth drink in under 30 seconds.
Why does my sipping chocolate taste bitter? Natural Dutch cocoa powder has an inherently deep, slightly bitter flavor profile - this is what makes sipping chocolate taste rich and complex rather than sweet and flat. If it tastes too bitter for your palate: add a pinch of sea salt (counterintuitive but it reduces bitterness), use full-fat dairy or coconut milk instead of thin nut milks, or add a drop of vanilla extract. Do not add more mix - more cocoa will make it more bitter, not less.
Why is my drink not sweet enough? The allulose and monkfruit sweetness in this mix is calibrated for a moderately sweet drinking chocolate. If you prefer sweeter: add a drop of pure liquid monkfruit sweetener, or a pinch of pure stevia. Do not add sugar or regular sweeteners if you're managing carbs. The sweetness also varies depending on the milk you use - full-fat coconut milk adds natural sweetness while plain water produces the least sweet result.
Why is my cold sipping chocolate not mixing well? Cocoa powder and allulose don't dissolve easily in cold liquid - always make a warm paste first. Add the 3 tablespoons of mix to a mug with 2 tablespoons of just-boiled water. Whisk until completely smooth and paste-like. Then stir this paste into your cold milk. This two-step method eliminates all clumping every time.
Why does the drink taste different from regular hot chocolate? This is sipping chocolate, not hot cocoa - the flavor profile is intentionally more intense, less sweet, and more complex than American-style hot chocolate mixes. European drinking chocolate traditions (French, Italian, Belgian, Spanish) are all built around this richer, less sweet profile. If you're used to standard hot chocolate mixes loaded with sugar, the transition to a genuinely cocoa-forward drink takes one or two cups to appreciate. Most people find they prefer it quickly.
Why is there a slight cooling sensation? This mix uses no sugar alcohols, so if you're experiencing a cooling sensation, it may be the monkfruit component at higher concentrations. Monkfruit can occasionally create a slight cooling note for sensitive palates when consumed warm. This is a known property of monkfruit and not an indication of any problem. It diminishes significantly when the drink is served cold or when mixed with dairy rather than water-based milks.
Keto Sipping Chocolate FAQ
What exactly is in this mix and why just 3 ingredients? Good Dee's Sipping Chocolate Keto Friendly Drink Mix contains: Good Dee's Signature Sweetener Blend (Allulose and Monkfruit), Soluble Tapioca Fiber, and Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. That's it. No artificial flavors, no preservatives, no sugar alcohols, no fillers. The three-ingredient formula is intentional - the fewer ingredients in a keto drink mix, the cleaner the product. Most commercial sugar free sipping chocolate mixes contain 10-15 ingredients. This one contains three.
How does 24g total carbs equal only 1.5g net carbs? This is the most common confusion with allulose-sweetened products. The math:
- 24g total carbs per serving
- Minus 9g dietary fiber (not metabolized) = 15g remaining
- Minus allulose carbs (allulose is a rare natural sugar that passes through the body without being absorbed - it appears on the label as carbohydrates but has essentially zero metabolic impact)
- Result: 1.5g net carbs per serving
The FDA allows allulose to be excluded from total and added sugar counts on labels. It is not a sugar alcohol - it is a naturally occurring monosaccharide found in small amounts in figs, raisins, and maple syrup. Clinical studies show it has minimal impact on blood glucose or insulin.
Is this keto sipping chocolate safe for diabetics? Yes, this is one of the more diabetic-friendly chocolate drink options available:
Blood sugar impact:
- 1.5g net carbs creates minimal glucose response
- Allulose has been studied for its minimal impact on blood glucose compared to traditional sugar.
- Monkfruit has zero glycemic impact
- 9g fiber (32% DV) slows any carb absorption
- Zero added sugar, zero regular sugar, zero sugar alcohols
No maltitol risk: Many "sugar free" hot chocolate mixes use maltitol, which has a glycemic index of 52. This mix contains no maltitol, no erythritol, no sorbitol - the common sugar alcohols that cause digestive issues and, in the case of maltitol, genuinely raise blood sugar.
Monitoring note: Individual responses to allulose can vary. If you manage blood sugar with medication, check your glucose response after the first serving and consult your healthcare provider before making it a daily habit.
How does this compare to other sugar free hot chocolate mixes?
| Good Dee's Sipping Chocolate | Typical Sugar Free Hot Cocoa Mix | Regular Hot Chocolate Mix | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net Carbs | 1.5g | 3-8g | 20-25g |
| Sugar Alcohols | None | Usually erythritol or maltitol | None (uses sugar) |
| Sweetener | Allulose + Monkfruit | Erythritol / Stevia / Maltitol | Sugar |
| Fiber | 9g (32% DV) | 1-2g | 0-1g |
| Ingredients | 3 | 8-15 | 5-10 |
| Gluten Free | Yes | Varies | Often no |
| Grain Free | Yes | Varies | No |
Can I use this in keto baking recipes? Yes - and this is one of the most underused applications of the mix. It functions as a pre-sweetened cocoa powder substitute in any low carb baking:
- Stir into keto pancake mix batter for chocolate pancakes (add 1-2 tablespoons per batch)
- Fold into low carb brownie mix batter for double chocolate brownies
- Mix into keto cake mix batter for a deeper cocoa flavor
- Stir into whipped cream or frosting for chocolate frosting
- Add to keto cookie mix for mocha-flavored cookies
- Sprinkle dry over popcorn or nuts for chocolate coating
Because the sweetener is already built in, you don't need to adjust sugar in the recipe - just add the sipping chocolate mix as you would cocoa powder and reduce any separate sweetener slightly if needed.

Is This the Best Keto Sipping Chocolate for Your Diet? A Breakdown
For strict keto dieters (under 20g net carbs daily):
- 1.5g net carbs leaves maximum room for food throughout the day
