Cacao drink

I wanted to ask if according to the Rosedale diet this would be allowed.

I really enjoy drinking chocolate and I'm currently taking one or two times per day (in the morning and in the night) this preparation:

- 0,25 liters of unsweetened coconut-rice milk (carbohydrates: 12.5g, of which 6.5g sugars, per 100ml)
- 10-15g of cocoa pulver (100% raw organic). Carbohydrates: 19g, of which 4g sugars, per 100g.
- A nibble of cinnamon
- A nibble of vanilla

This is my last whim, as I already cut out pasta, rice, potatoes, yams, legumes, most of the fruit, dairy, ...

Thanks to the people that maintain and support this website,

Joseph

   The coconut-rice milk has 0.7g of saturated fat per 100ml

   The cacao powder has 7g of saturated fat per 100g

   Sorry, a bit more of information:
   The coconut-rice milk has 0.2g fiber per 100ml
   The cocoa powder has 35g of fiber per 100g

   General Rule: carbohydrates minus any fiber equals sugar

   ---

   • example:

   25g carbohydrates,
   minus 10g fiber,
   equals 15g sugar

   Any sugar/glucose that may be required by the body can be manufactured from the protein and healthy fat we eat.

   Personally I would do without the cacao drink, the fruit and dairy you mention.
