Options Belgian Chocolate 220g

I bought this hot chocolate after reading a great review of it here on Dooyoo. I'm not trying to lose weight (I'm pregnant) and I usually steer well clear of "light" hot chocolates because they always seem watery and tasteless, however it had got sucha great review that I decided to give it a go. This is an "instant" hot chocolate, which means you just add water to it. Most instant drinks like this are a total dissapointment in my opinion and require the addition of a lot of milk and sugar to make them drinkable. However in order to test this one I followed the instructions and used just 3 teaspoons of powder (I generally use at least 4 ...  Read the complete review

My mother told me about Options Belgian Chocolate a few months ago when I was complaining that my chocolate cravings were getting in the way of any attempt I was making to diet. I wasn't too interested at first because I thought the flavour would be terrible given the low calorie count. I finally broke down and got some of this last month and I'm so glad I did. It's my favourite treat now to have throughout the day. I generally have a big mug of it mid-morning and another one mid-afternoon. After drinking this I feel my chocolate cravings have been completely satisfied and I wouldn't even want to eat a kit-kat or what have you afterwards. So a great ...  Read the complete review

I love hot chocolate drinks, especially in the winter on a cold night, curled up in front of the television with my hands wrapped around a mug of steaming hot chocolate. I usually have a milky drink of hot chocolate before going to bed and use the traditional drinking chocolate powder for this. However, sometimes during the day at home or work , especially if it is cold, I fancy a hot chocolate and find the milky variety a bit heavy in the day so I usually keep a jar of Options Belgian Chocolate drink which is made up with hot water. This drink is a low calorie alternative to the normal drinking chocolate and at only 37 calories per serving (made with 200ml ...  Read the complete review

I tend to drink quite a lot of tea and coffee throughout the day however at night time I try and lay off this after seven o'clock In the evening as the caffeine tends to keep me up half the night as well. After this time I tend to stick to herbal drinks, horlicks and if I am feeling particularly cold tired and miserable hot chocolate. I have tried a number of versions of this drink over the years which have considerably varied in taste and ease of preparation. I was in my local supermarket and they had an offer on a tub of the options hot chocolate drinks. I hadn't actually tried this particular brand so I decided that I would give it a try. The particular ...  Read the complete review

Upon starting my new dieting regime I was wondering around the 99p shop on Saturday and walked past the hot drinks section, in addition to the usual was a large pot of Options - Belgian Chocolate. I do get chocolate cravings and usually I resist by having a biscuit instead - which is not really helpful. So in an effort to be good I looked at the pot of options. Appetising pale blue pot dark brown chocolate colour on it to represent the product with a screw top lid. Helpfully the nutritional information is plain to see and this is not a 'too good to be true' product. A single serving 3 teaspoons - with 200ml water has 37 calories and 0.7g of ...  Read the complete review
