Hoff Thoughts: You may be in love with Hoff's Mmmmm Chocolate Shake!, I know I was until I started doing some investigating and discovered that one serving was resulting in over 17 grams of sugar!  Yes, that's a lot - especially if you're trying to lose or control weight.  So, I re-created this awesome recipe to be a lot more figure friendly.  Instead of turning to artificial sweeteners to combat the sugar, I turned to natural, whole ingredients instead - cacao powder, nibs and dates! Just as good as the original, if not better!
