Hot Chocolate
Moderate nutritional value
Homemade hot cocoa made with milk, cocoa powder and sugar.
Hot cocoa is cocoa powder and sugar whisked into hot milk and served in a mug. A 250 ml mug has about 203 kcal, 9 g of protein and 26 g of sugar, and is high in calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B12 and phosphorus, with copper from the cocoa. Part of the sugar is lactose from the milk and the rest is added; instant mixes made with water have much less protein and calcium.
