On a scale of 1(low) to ten (very bad) how bad really is Nutella?

[DrNortherner]

Cause for supper my ds (aged 7) is having Nutella, on wholemeal bread with a glass of milk.

Is that really so bad?

I eat it by the jarful spoonful. It is fabulous. I wish I had some now.

It is not bad. It is edible, it is food, it tastes nice. Starving to death is bad. Going to bed hungry is bad. Food poisoning is quite bad. Nutella is neutral.

So, a 1 in my book!

-5

It's got nuts in it - surely that counts as protein... would you feel as guilty if it were peanut butter? (Not that I've compared the labels of each, I'm guessing peanut butter has more nuts than nutella...).

Better than the average peanut butter, I think.

Shocking. I'm amazed you can do tht to your child. Chocolate spread on wholemeal bread with milk? Good lord.

At 7 she should only be eating rice cakes and raw fruit.

(I'd give it a 5 though, since you ask)

oooh use to make a great pudding for kids i babysat for, slice of bread spread with nutella, then covered in hundreds of thousands, mmmmmm yummy

I have to confess to having Nutella on white toast recently and it was very, very nice.

Nuts = protein
chocolate = milk = calcium

Positively good for you

Hm, the main ingredient is sugar.
But it is delicious.

surely with all those hazel nuts and cocoa beans it counts as one if not two portions of fruit or veg?

5

Put some banana with it to make it healthier.
Mmmm banana and nutella toastie!

Sugar and oil are main ingredients but hey. It's not evil once in a while. My DS has it for breakfast.
Small amount of milk. Nuts get waved at it.

I would say 6. I make my own which is healthier (plus even more delicious).

Recipe please

Not bad at all. Nuts are a valuable source of lots of good things, I'm sure of it.

oodles - how?

Nutella is very good for you, as is all chocolate, it releases endorphins and is therefore a health food..... that is a scientific fact that I have just made up

once in a while - 1
every meal - 10

1 large darkish bar of chocolate-melted
1 biggish tin of condensed milk
lots of hazelnuts 3-400g -blended

stir together

eat.

And keep in the fridge if you are going to keep it longer than a couple of weeks.

I do have the proper quantities somewhere. I'll look later.

I'd give it a 5. Peanut butter jar says less than 2% sugar-nutella jar says sugar is the main ingredient.

As far as nutritiona goes it's crap, possible good for energy is all. But that's not why we eat it is it???
