Options Outrageous Orange

One of my favourite low fat hot chocolate drinks is the Options Outrageous Orange flavour, I try other brands and flavours but I always have a tub of this in the cupboard - which is testament to how much I love it as I strictly stick to sachets when it comes to hot chocolate as I am easily bored. This orange one never bores me though, it's an old favourite I return to again and again. Of course it's a thinner drink than a rich hot chocolate made with milk, but it's for dieters and frankly it tastes so good that I'll happily lose a little richness and save a lot of calories! It's made with water that has been allow to come off the boil for a few ...  Read the complete review

As I sit and write this review, I have just made myself (another) cup of lovely Options Outrageous Orange, it is a hot chocolate drink that is also low fat/low calorie. It is available in jars, as shown in the picture above, however I have got it in individual sachets of 11g each, and they cost me £1.00 for 5 at my local Asda. The wrapper is a rectangular foil sachet, sky blue with brown and orange picture and writing on it: The information panel tells me that it contains only 33 calories per drink, which is pretty good for chocolate. The title "Outrageous Orange" is bizarrely surrounded by the rest of a seemingly ...  Read the complete review

I've been a little absent from Dooyoo as late, which isn't good, I miss you guys! With everything that's been going on in my "real" life, I've barely had time to do everything I need to, let alone write any reviews. I will definitely get around to reviewing everything on my up and coming list, and if there is anything you particularly want to read about (if you're planning to buy) then let me know and I'll try to make it a priority. However for this review at least I'm abandoning the list, and telling you all about chocolate orange hot chocolate - mmm yummy! Basically because, it's much quicker to write about than my beauty reviews which can be quite ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought a few different flavours of Options hot chocolate to try, one of which was the outrageous orange flavour. ~About Options~ Options make several different flavours of hot chocolate, including Mint, Orange, Toffee, Belgian Chocolate and Vanilla to name just a few. They come in small single sachets, and some of the more popular flavours also come in a jar. ~Packaging~ Outrageous Orange is one of the flavours which comes in either jar or sachet form. I bought the sachet, as I had never tried it before, so didn't want to splash out on a jar in case I didn't like it. The sachets are small with an easy to tear ...  Read the complete review

I've been making my way recently through the range of Options chocolate drinks trying to find my favourite, the white one is the worst and tastes like hot milk so I would avoid that one if you ever see it in the supermarket. As for the rest I would definitely say that the Outrageous Orange flavour is my fave, so far at least! (I havent tried the banana one yet) Each serving of Options, whichever flavour, contains only 40 calories yet has all the taste and creaminess of more indulgent chocolate drinks and beverages. The Orange one has a saintly 33 calories so is perfect for anyone watching their weight but still wants something a bit different to tea and ...  Read the complete review
