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.

I just put less water in.

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.

any one tried the galaxy hazelnut hot choc? that one is so nice, but bit more sinful than the options

kevvosa · « **Reply #9 on:** October 04, 2005, 06:17:58 pm »

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.

kevvosa · « **Reply #13 on:** November 21, 2006, 05:16:40 pm »

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.
