The Best Low Calorie Cocoa's
Satisfy those late night chocolate cravings with a cup of low-calorie cocoa. If you enjoy whipped cream on your cocoa -- just remember to go light or fat free! Fitness magazine rated brands to see how they measured up and here are the per-cup results:
Swiss Miss
No Sugar Added with Calcium and Marshmallows: 60 calories, 1 gram of fat and 30 percent RDA for calcium.
"Simply the best" said one taste tester.
America's Choice
Reduced calorie Milk Chocolate Flavor: 50 calories, 1 gram of fat, 10 percent RDA for calcium.
"Rich and chocolatey" declared most tasters.
Weight Watchers
70 calories, 0 grams of fat, 25 percent RDA for calcium.
Most tasters enjoyed the "rich, strong aroma" but left one taster with a somewhat bitter aftertaste.
Nestle Carnation
No Sugar Added: 70 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, 15 percent RDA for calcium.
This one was not very popular. One taster asked, "did you follow the instructions?" The complaint was it tasted too watered down.
*Calcium percentages are based on a 2,000 calorie a day diet.
