Advantages: Low in calories
Disadvantages: Not great tasting

Due to my attempts to try things a little more healthy and less fattening, i decided to look into hot chocolates which would be a little more healthy for me. I went to my local supermarket and found the tea, coffee and other various other hot drinks isle which is rather unconvieniently situated next to the high calorie alchohol isle, i started to browse through the hot and malted drinks. After dithering about for about 15 minutes i decided on the ... Read review

Advantages: low calories but great taste
Disadvantages: can be difficult to get rid of the lumps

I've been drinking these gorgeous chocolate drinks for quite a few years now and although they can be quite expensive around 22p per sachet if you buy them separately or around £1.99 for a 12 pack selection they are worth it for the occasional treat. There are many flavours you can try - all belgian chocolate - but with hints of orange, mint, irish cream, turkish delight, hazelnut, vanilla and toffee. So you never get bored of the same drink all ... Read review

Advantages: low calories! Tasty!

I have to say " ME LOVES CHOCOLATE!" and " ME REALLY LOVES HOT CHOC"! :-) So when I started dieting I thought ok thats it no more hot choc for me! BUT >>>>>> I walking along the supermarket isle to be greeted with Options only 40 cals! YAY!This for those of you doing WW's = 1 point per sachet except for the toffee ones there more! ( of course this is minus any sugar or full fat milk that you may add!). But how fab are they especially when you ... Read review

Advantages: Easy and quick to make
Disadvantages: can be watery and have floaty lumps

When it comes to instant hot chocolate drinks, this is probably one of the better ones that I've tasted. It comes in a variety of different flavours (eg. mint chocolate, chocolate orange, irish cream etc) and the chocolate taste doesn't die out in any of them. I find it can sometimes be a bit on the sweet side, and often not as thick as I'd like. I usually completely ignore the instructions on the side of the attractively designed pot and put in an ...

Advantages: Quick, easy, yummy
Disadvantages: bit clumpy, sometimes a bit malty, but that could be my poor stirring effort!

I spotted these a little while back shopping in my local Sainsbury's. The ones I buy usually come in a two sachet pack, and come in a variety of flavours such as orange, mint, ordinary chocolate, the limited edition turkish delight and white chocolate. They are about 39p for two cups, which I think is great value for money as you get two drinks. Ocassionally there may be an offer where you can buy three sachets for a pound, but that it doesn't ...

Advantages: Creamy, tasty
Disadvantages: lumpy if you don't watch it

This is the best instant hot chocolate in the world. You can gourmet stuff for god knows what price in Harvey Nichols that takes 10 minutes to make and happens to be utterly orgasmic tasting, but if you want a mug of tasty hot chocolate in about a minute flat then this is not just the best option - it's the only option. Very simple to make - while the kettle's boiling you put two (not three like the jar says) heaped tea spoonfuls of the fab smelling ... Read review

Advantages: packaging, taste, convienence.
Disadvantages: not that many flavours

...all, compared to options anyway. Cadbury's options has many delicious flavours including Orange, Mint, Belgian Chocolate, Turkish Delight and Irish Cream, all contain all 40 calories by cup.
