Flavoured Chocolate Syrup (Nestle)

Nestle Flavoured Syrup: Nutrition and Guide

This entry represents a commercial flavoured syrup product associated with the Nestle brand — most likely a chocolate or flavoured milk syrup such as Nesquik chocolate syrup or a similar product used for flavouring milk drinks and desserts. At 269 kcal and 67.2 g of carbohydrates per 100 g, the nutritional profile is consistent with a concentrated sugar-based flavouring syrup with a significant sugar content but without the fat that would be present in a chocolate sauce made with cream or butter. Commercial flavoured syrups of this type are used primarily for making flavoured milk drinks (chocolate milk is the most common application), for flavouring hot drinks (hot chocolate, mochas), for ice cream toppings, and as milkshake bases. The product is used in relatively small quantities (typically one to two tablespoons per serving), so the caloric contribution per typical use is modest — approximately 30–40 kcal per tablespoon serving.

Uses

Stir into cold or warm milk for chocolate milk or hot chocolate. Add to milkshakes. Drizzle over ice cream. Use as a base for mocha coffee drinks. Add to protein shakes for flavour. As with all flavoured commercial syrups, use in appropriate small quantities as part of a balanced diet.
