Is hot chocolate considered good for you?!


Question:

Is hot chocolate considered good for you?


Answers:
Yes, a little bit is great for you!

Yes, it is.

For sure :-p

It all depends on the kind of hot chocolate you use. Regular cocoa has sugar and whole milk. You can exchange the whole milk for skim but you still have the calories. Or you can get the no sugar and add skim milk. Anything with milk gives you calcium but you have to be careful about the sugar grams and fat content.

good luck!

the way I make it is.maybe not the pouch ones
you make with water thou.

It has a lot of sugar, unless you use sugar free cocoa, so I guess its not particularly healthy. But chocolate does contain some healthful benefits, so its not as bad as drinking soda or something.

No, not really.

Real hot chocolate is very high in fat. I bought a container from Harry London after Christmas and the saturated fat is15% of your daily fat. Very high. The only way I see it is good is that chocolate is good for people who have asthma, which I used to have. Whenever I would have an asthma attack, I'd drink my hot chocolate and my wheezing and coughing would go away within minutes. So it's bad fat wise, but good for asthmatics.

real cocoa is okay
hot chocolate packs are just sugar

Absolutely!

I would say so.
