This drinking chocolate is a beverage made from drinking chocolate powder mixed with skimmed milk according to packet directions. The figures describe the prepared drink rather than the dry powder. It mainly provides carbohydrate and protein, along with minerals including calcium and iodine. Per 100g, it contains 11g carbohydrate, 11g sugars, 3.7g protein and 118mg calcium.
Calcium is needed to maintain bones and teeth, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Iodine is needed for the production of thyroid hormones. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar intake; total sugars include those naturally present in milk as well as those in the powder. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
