Nestle Skinny Cow Hot Chocolate Mint

There is nothing more relaxing after a late shift than coming home and relaxing on the sofa with a good TV program and a mug of hot chocolate - Bliss! I have always tended to buy Galaxy Hot Chocolate because of it's rich, creamy taste. However on a visit to Asda a few weeks ago I noticed that the Skinny Cow hot chocolate range was on offer at only £1 (usual price £1.99) for a 200g tub - a bargain too tempting to resist. I like the combination of mint and chocolate so naturally seleced the mint flavour hot chocolate, putting THREE tubs in my trolley (psychologically I'd convinced myself I'd like it and so best to stock up on the ...  Read the complete review

I do like a nice cup of hot chocolate in the evening but since I joined Weight Watchers last September I've been struggling a little to find a good quality lower fat version, I do like the Options range but the recipe seems to have changed recently and my favourite flavours are not as nice as they used to be.

I must confess I am a bit of a chocoholic but when I'm determined to stick to a diet plan I get my chocolate fix from skinny cow hot chocolate mint drink, while is isn't exactly a fair trade for my favourite areo mint chocolate bar it does make a reasonable substitute. It does in fact have a lovely blend of both mint and chocolate neither is too over powering and I prefer it to other brands of low cal hot drinks in fact it is my fave hot drink. You can buy it in a jar or in sachets I personally buy a jar as it works out a lot better value for money. Its less than 40 cals a mug which around the same as other low cal chocolate drinks and for 40cals you get an excellent ...  Read the complete review
