Fairly sure this is an ATL! At least for this year.

Pair with a cup of half price almond milk for a 50 calorie treat.

  • Anyone tried this? any good?

    • Not bad for the price, drink too much and it'll have a laxative effect

        an avalanche effect, you could say

    • The sachets were better than the one in the tin IMO

      • They're also a lot more calories. Each serve of the tinned stuff is legitimately like 30kJ. It's insane. This stuff is incredible if you are cutting and want to keep the hunger at bay for a little bit.

        • The sachets taste good on their own without milk, the tinned stuff needs milk to taste decent. So in terms of calories and taste the sachets win for me

          • @Rain Cloud: shrugs I drink the tinned stuff fine without milk. The sachets are 15% more expensive a serve and 4.7x the calories. I won't argue they don't taste better, of course they do. Just not worth the trade off for me.

        Vaccines save lives though, Avalanche Drinking Chocolate doesn't

            @easternculture: COVID conspiracy is so 2020. Try a new one. Maybe flat earth?

          • @easternculture: ok but what about the Erythirol though, I don't think the chocolate milk powder is vaccinated against covid.

          • @easternculture: You know that degree from TikTok University isn't worth the video that it's played on, right?

      I tried Jarrah Hot Chocolate in the past but found out it uses Aspartame as the sweetener which is worse than Erythritol apparently… seems Erythritol is considered safe/fine in small qty's (which is what it will be).. So this might be better than others with Erythritol and Stevia being considered some of the better sweeteners from what I've read so far… keen to know if there is better options though…

    • linked to blood clots and risk of heart disease, study finds.

      Pop half of one of these with each hot chocolate you have and your still 55c in front.

      • better off shelving it….🤣

    • That article is a yo-yo, contradicts itself:

      "In response to the study, the Calorie Control Council, an industry association, told CNN that 30 years of science has shown erythritol to be a “proven safe and effective choice” for sugar and calorie reduction.

      “Consumers should interpret the results of this pilot with extreme caution. The limited number of participants, a total of 10, were given an excessive amount of erythritol, nearly quadruple the maximum amount approved in any single beverage in the United States,” the council’s president, Carla Saunders, said in an email.

      However, the amount of erythritol used in each drink in the study — 30 grams — was the equivalent of what is included in typical sugar-free sodas, ice creams or muffins, of which people often eat more than one, Hazen said.

      “This research raises some concerns that a standard serving of an erythritol-sweetened food or beverage may acutely stimulate a direct clot-forming effect,” said study coauthor Dr. Wai Hong Wilson Tang, research director for heart failure and cardiac transplantation at the Cleveland Clinic, in a statement."
