Title: Options hot chocolate
Post by: kevvosa on October 03, 2005, 01:15:52 pm
Anyone else like these? They are very good if youre watching your
weight, but I always put 2 sachets into a cup rather than one,
otherwise it tastes too watery. The mint, orange and vanilla flavours
are lovely.

Half a cup of hot chocolate? I'd finish that in no time.

I always add some milk, even though it says not to - less calorific than using two sachets, but creamier than when made with just water.

i mix the powder with milk so it makes a paste, put it in the microwave for 20secs and then add milk and whisk it a bit. like the hazelnut one best

I always add milk and mix it into a paste too, but it's still watery if
you only use one sachet. I suppose it also depends on how big your
jugs...I mean, mugs are...

I use the jar rather than the sachets. Then three heaped teaspoons of powder makes a good mug full.


My favourite flavour is Go Bananas (although I can only find that in sachet form) I also like the Irish Cream flavour but haven't seen it for ages.

I think tehy may have stopped Irish Cream flavour, Im not sure though.
I will sometimes have white chocolate but its a bit sickly.

I have tried it and agree that it's nice. I dont like the Options hazelnut though.



They now also do a low-carb Flyte hot choc drink, it tastes horrible, even when you mix 2 sachets together.

I like Options and I tend to make it with warm skimmed milk. I like the
mint, vanilla and hazelnut ones. The white choc one is nice but not all
the time, like you said, it can be a bit sickly.



I do not like High Lights though. In my opinion it's like drinking sawdust

Where can you buy the go bananas flavour? My tesco doesn't appear to sell it.

Tesco seems to have a limited range of them. They don't do the Turkish Delight one either.


Has anyone tried the Cracking Hazelnut flavour? That's nice. I don't feel the need for milk with it either. Like Cherry, I tend to buy the tubs now so you can have that little bit more than you would in a sachet.

I usually buy 2 sachets and make one cup with them. One on its own is just too watery.

Havent seen the turkish delight one for a while either.

It tells you on the jar to have three spoonfulls so that should just be the standard 40 calories, shouldn't it? For me it makes a better mug full than a sachet.


I currently have a jar of Cadbury's plain chocolate highlights but I don't like it on its own (too bitter) so I am having two spoons of Options and one of Highlights and it is working well

I wish Options would do a dark chocolate version with a richer taste than the standard version.

You can get dark chocolate Highlights. It's only 35 calories a sachet.

Options are lovely...(except the Hazelnut and Cinnamon ones - they are undrinkable chemical filth).


My favourites are Turkish Delight, Go Bananas and Irish Cream. The Vanilla one's pretty nice too....
