Skinny Cow Hot Chocolate

Cost: £1-£2 Availability: In most supermarkets and food shops About I decided to try Skinny Cow hot chocolate drink because when I was doing my shopping in Tesco it was on offer and cheaper than the other hot chocolate drinks on the shelf, and as it was lower in calories I thought I'd try it. I was quite disappointed with this hot chocolate drink, I don't ever expect any lower calorie alternative to taste as good as the tastier calorific originals but I found this drink really bland and boring to drink. The hot chocolate drink had a very weak chocolate taste and wasn't very sweet. However the ... more

As I am on a diet, and am trying to cut out chocolate and other sweet things, i have been having hot chocolate at work as a substitute. The picture in the review title shows a big tub of this chocolate powder, but what i actually got was five 10g sachets for £1. These are supposed to be the perfect amount for a mug of hot chocolate. At only 20 pence each, they work out cheaper than the coffee machine in my office so it was worth a go. Per serving of this, there are only 37 calories - compared to Galaxy drinking chocolate, that has 98!! A serving has only 1.5grams of fat too which is low. So ... more

I don't usually go in for low calorie drinks as such. I tend to find them rather lacking in flavour and if I have a drink of one I tend not to like them. However, my mother in law does and last time she was with us, she left a tub of this virtually full. I do like to try a wide range of hot choc drinks, and so I greeted this one eagerly, knowing that I wasn't going to have wasted any money if I didn't like it. A tub of this will set you back around the £3 mark, and you get approximately 18 servings out of it. You put two heaped teaspoonfuls of the powder in a mug, and add hot water. The tub ... more

**Originally posted on dooyoo in 2008 The Skinny Cow Hot Chocolate I have always been a fan of instant hot chocolate and after previously trying Skinny Cow Ice Lollies when I saw this Skinny Cow Hot Chocolate I couldn't resist trying it. It costs around the same price as other low fat instant hot chocolate drinks at £2.79 pence and although it might be slightly more I think the taste is well worth it. It comes in two flavours mint or chocolate but I don't really fancy trying the mint flavour. To make the drink itself is very simple n that you out to heaped teaspoons into a mug and add hot, but ... more

Well it's certainly notcold weather just now but a Hot Choc is nice any time in my view. 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 ... more
