Drinking chocolate, powder, reduced fat

Reduced-fat drinking chocolate powder is a dry mixture used to make a chocolate-flavoured drink. The figures here describe the powder before it is mixed with milk or water. Per 100g, it provides 1507 kJ of energy, 82g of sugars, 2.3g of fat and 6.4g of protein. Sugars account for all of its carbohydrate content.

The reduced-fat description does not mean that the powder is low in sugar or energy, which is worth noting for people monitoring these intakes. The nutritional content of the prepared drink depends on the amount of powder used and whether milk or water is added. Full nutrient figures for the powder are in the tables below.
