Instant drinks powder, chocolate, low calorie

This is a chocolate-flavoured instant drink powder described as low calorie. The figures are for the dry powder, not the prepared drink. Per 100g, it provides 52g of carbohydrate, including 34g of sugars, 16g of protein and 8.1g of saturated fat. It also contains minerals, including calcium.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. Despite the low-calorie description, the powder contains sugars, saturated fat and salt. The amounts in a prepared drink depend on how much powder is used and whether it is mixed with water or milk. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
