@weighty.matters: Many people think drinking chocolate and cocoa powder are the same thing. They are not. Drinking chocolate is cocoa mixed with sugar, which is why the calories are much higher. Just 1 tablespoon: • Drinking chocolate → about 45 calories • Cocoa powder → about 10 calories That means drinking chocolate can have up to 4 times more calories. If you are trying to reduce sugar or manage your calorie intake, unsweetened cocoa powder is the better option. You can always sweeten it yourself and control how much sugar goes in. Small swaps like this can make a big difference over time. Which one do you usually buy, drinking chocolate or cocoa powder?
