Hot Chocolate


When the weather's cold, we all fancy something nice to warm us through. Why deprive yourself of the luxury of mug of hot chocolate before bed, when there are so many low calorie instant drinks available. Find out what our panel think…  


Pleasure, Instant Hot Chocolate Drink, Options*

The panel's favourite. This was a rich chocolate drink with a velvety brown colour. It looks good and tastes good - the best by far! .

Caffe Latte, High Lights, Cadbury*

If you like coffee - you'll like this caffe latte from Cadbury's. A smooth, creamy and rich chocolate/coffee drink - and only 40 kcals a mug.

Chocolatey Ovaltine Light, Hi-Malt Instant Drink, Ovaltine*

If you're more of a malt addict you'll like this chocolate malted drink from Ovaltine. It has a nice appearance and flavoursome taste.

Instant Hot Chocolate Drink, Be Good to Yourself, Sainsbury's*

A watery appearance and a watery consistency. There wasn't much chocolate in this one - and it had a artificial sweet after taste. Not recommended.

Conclusion

Option's Pleasure was the outstanding hot chocolate drink. Notably the chocolate/coffee and chocolate/malt drinks were also greatly favoured - depending on taste. The panel were surprised that Sainsbury's and Asda's - which were watery and lacking in chocolate taste - were the highest in calories!

 

"I would like to add Clipper Organic Double Chocolate ... high in kcal at 98 for the sachet, but very chocolatey in flavour and not too sweet. It has no aftertaste as there is no artificial sweetener, just sugar. It's more expensive than the twin sachets, but I feel it's nicer and therefore justifies the cost!" MINDY
