Do you mean adding regular baking cocoa to make it more chocolately? If yes, cocoa is sugar free but may have a little naural fat. Best to ask your Nutritionist if it is okay.

If you mean cocoa powder, no, it's basically pure carbs.

I was allowed cocoa powder. It should say in your notes what you can and cannot have. I went a good 2 weeks on optifast with cocoa powder in it and it was amazing!

I am on day 4 and these are my current faves:

Chocolate Opti with hazelnut SF syrup (from Starbucks), SF cherry syrup from low carb grocer. I didn't care for the decaf coffee in it, but may work for you.

Vanilla Opti with tangerine Crystal light. I love this so much I barely try anything else. It's like an orange creamsicle. I have also tried the SF Peppermint Paddy syrup from low carb grocer. It's pretty good, but I find the syrups are so sweet and I would rather more of a strong mint flavour.

Good luck!
