Skinny Cow Hot Chocolate

Whilst on a diet (one of many) I decided that a great way to give me my chocolate fix after dinner, without taking in loads of extra calories, would be to try hot chocolate. Having tried the Skinny Cow ice-creams, and been fairly impressed, I decided to give the hot chocolate a go. This stuff comes in plastic, screw-top jars with 200g of powder in it. The outside is patterned in the usual cow design, with a skinny-looking cow on the front of it. The instructions on the jar state that you should have two heaped teaspoons of chocolate powder for each mug. Then you simply add hot, but not boiling, water. I have found that the recommended amount of powder per mug ...  Read the complete review

Well it's certainly getting into the cold weather, and since i'm not much of a Hot Drink person, I tend to stock up on the only Hot Drink I really like, which is Hot Chocolate. I normally stuck to Options, but seeing the Skinny Cow range recently, I ended up getting a few sachets. For those of you not familiar with the Skinny Cow range, i've only seen the branding on Ice Creams. They are low fat and low calorie treats that can be enjoyed as part of a calorie controlled diet. You can buy this drink in 10g sachets, which cost about 35p. Each sachet is 1 serving. You can also get this in a 200g plastic tub which costs around the £2 mark. I've tried the ...  Read the complete review

If you saw me walking down the street, 'Skinny cow' would not be the first thing your mind would conjure, of that i am certain. However, the intention to be a skinny cow is one i very much have, and was what i had in mind when i brought these hot chocolates. Now, lets face it. Hot chocolate is best with lashings of whipped cream, pieces of flake and marshmallows. However, in the calorie crazed world we all need to keep the intake down every now and again, and these might be just the thing. Packaging ~~~~~~~ Skinny cow hot chocolate comes in a 200g container which is shaped a little like an hourglass. The lid is sealed both on the ...  Read the complete review

With winter drawing on I decided to try out a new hot chocolate when I saw it in the supermarket the other week, being as I had enjoyed other Skinny Cow products. The company, specialising in low fat but not low taste products, have brought out two new flavours of hot chocolate to warm you up whilst keeping your waistline trim. I am pretty much ALWAYS cold, as I write this I am battling against my (menopausal) coworkers to shut the windows and wishing they would turn the heating on for the year already. My hands are cold, my nose is cold, I'm swaddled in layers, and almost didn't write this review just because it is making me crave a Skinny Cow Hot Choc ...  Read the complete review

I'm not one for counting calories at all but we couldn't get the car out of the car park to do the normal Sainsburys shop because of 10 inches of frozen snow so ended up donning our wellies and walking a mile to the little shop nearest to us. This was the only hot chocolate they had which cost under £4 and that's the only reason I bought it. Huddersfield is the worst hit town in the country with snow this last couple of days and yes that's where I live :) Last night they gave out a severe weather warning for the rest of the country but a special 'Extremely severe warning' for us lol. There's nearly a foot and then last night it all froze. What do I crave ...  Read the complete review
