Chocolate is the Achilles Heel of so many people when it comes to dieting. Even after you’ve had a fresh, satisfying meal, there’s a little nagging craving within that wants to round it off with something sweet.
However, even when you do indulge the enjoyment is stifled by the overriding sense of guilt telling you that you’ve failed in your quest for culinary sainthood.
But i’ll let you in on a little secret, if you venture beyond the eclectic middle aisle of Lidl and to the fridges you’ll find the Milbona High Protein Chocolate Pudding – an absolute cheat code when it comes to crushing cravings.
Let’s break down the macros, shall we?
Packing 20g of protein per pot, the velvety delight is a super convenient way to refuel post-workout. What’s more, each serving contains just 3g of fat (2g saturated), 10.4g of carbs – 8g of which comes from sugar, and 152 calories.
For reference, that’s 77% less sugar than your average chocolate pudding, 85% less fat, and a staggering 121% more protein.
Is it the perfect product? No. But I think we can all agree that it’s a pretty impressive substitution for full-fat chocolate.
Another huge upside is the price. Costing just £1.25 per pot, this pudding represents amazing value for money.
As many of you will have found out the hard way, there are plenty of brands on the market that charge nearly £3 more for bars and yoghurts with nearly identical macros.
Overall this pudding gets a huge thumbs up. It’s not as healthy as sourcing your protein from natural sources such as meat or fish, but it isn’t meant to be.
What it does represent, however, is a fantastic substitute for sugar-rich desserts that are draining your finances while adding to your waistline. Visit the Lidl website here to shop now.
