I stumbled across these in Tesco tonight. The new flavour is delicious and only 9g of carbs per pot. They are on offer at the moment, 4 pots for £3.

Jazz music, science denial, and running out of coffee.

Looks good, but 0.24 g sodium per 100 mls may be above the recommended <120mg/100 g I think - but unsure how much 100 mls of it weighs. ref: Salt Matters
My peeve is that these proprietary food should be regulated to declare whether they contain gluten AND what the GI and GL are.

As I'm diet controlled, and even eggs cause a BG rise, this little treat is going to be a no no.

I didn’t take insulin for this and there was no rise. Eggs makes me rise too.

I tried an experiment with something called "Sweet Freedom" Choc Shot liquid chocolate. I weighed out 5 gms, therefore 2.5 gms carb (mostly sugar). It demonstrated how refined carbs react differently (quicker) to unrefined. It caused a peak which took some hours to return to normal. I didn't have a sweet tooth anyway, just wanted to try an experiment.

I use their Choc Pot spread in small amounts on 90 second bread with peanut butter. Gives me the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup vibe I miss so much! That was today’s lunch, in fact...
