Mine is the options chocolate orange 👌

Just get cocoa powder and sugar. All the branded ones are full of crap - thickeners, potato starch, emulsifiers, milk powder... Eben the posh ones. There should be two ingredients on the label really and it tastes so much nicer!

Costa hot chocolate powder is lovely! Vegan friendly too if you're avoiding dairy for whatever reason.

I like the clippers instant hot chocolate, the best instant I have tried. I am also using the M&S drinking chocolate at the minute which is very good!

WhiskersPete · 08/11/2022 17:09

You need drinking chocolate (with milk) rather than hot chocolate (with water).

Cadbury is horrible now - so sickly. I second M&S drinking chocolate. Think I've probably had one a day through this pregnancy. Blush

I usually go for options but I would definitely NOT recommend the Galaxy Gingerbread one if things like that take your fancy. It's not good!

White options is yum and all flavours on offer at waitrose at the moment.

Cocoa, sugar, milk - far better than any hot chocolate

That's all very well, but when you're exhausted and want hot chocolate quickly, then it's good to know which instant types are decent!

I used to get the vegan options hot choc but tbh at £4.50 a tub I don't think I'll be bothering much anymore!

This is the best Hot Chocolate ever

Malteasers hot chocolate has seen me through the last few weeks of my pregnancy.

Daisychainsx · 08/11/2022 17:53

Scoop(s) of Nutella and hot milk or grated chocolate bar in hot milk are both handy ways of making hot chocolate if you haven't got any of the powder!
I've got a hotel chocolat mix and it's to die for 😍

Galaxy instant hot chocolate is so lovely

Roselilly36 · 08/11/2022 18:03

I am not pregnant btw 😂

Luna42 · 08/11/2022 18:11

Lidl deluxe is really good, almost between milk and dark so not too sweet and proper chocolatey

Are you allowed to drink/eat sugary things like that when preggo?

...why wouldn't you be?

JL642 · 08/11/2022 19:13

Options hot chocolate!

ruralwanderer · 08/11/2022 19:16

Options is the best - but only the plain stuff. All the flavoured ones are rank.

Cakecakecheese · 08/11/2022 19:18

Green & Black's.

😂no, you should only eat organic vegetables you grew yourself. of course you can eat sugary things in pregnancy. just like at any other time in life, everything in moderation.

Cocoa powder and sugar is pretty instant! Just add to hot milk

Boating123 · 08/11/2022 22:11

I have tried loads of different ones and have come to the conclusion a heaped teaspoon of cocoa and a heaped teaspoon of sugar with hot milk is the best.
I warm the milk up in a little saucepan on the hob and mix in the cocoa and sugar once it's hot.
The whole process takes less than 5 minutes. Yes - you may end up with some little lumps of cocoa that won't dissolve perfectly, but it doesn't matter.

Galaxy bubbly

It really is bubbly!

The bubbles definitely make it taste better! 😂
