Drinking Chocolate

Cadbury’s Drinking Chocolate is an instant cocoa‑based beverage powder packaged in a 450 g metal can, intended to be mixed with milk or water. Classified as a NOVA 4 ultra‑processed product with a Nutri‑Score of E, it contains very high amounts of sugar (≈143 g), fat (≈23 g) and salt (≈1.6 g) per 100 g, far exceeding typical values for similar drinks. Although it provides about 7 g of protein per serving and 21 % cocoa solids for a rich chocolate taste, the excessive sugar, saturated fat and overall energy (≈1010 kcal/100 g) mean it should be treated as an occasional treat.
