I love chocolate milk, I’m terrible for it. Whenever I’m out and see the option of chocolate milkshakes, or even in my local corner shop, I just can’t resist it. Luckily I can behave a bit more at home, as we never have any milk in as my mum’s lactose intolerant, so a rare chocolate milk is quite a treat. So when I was asked if I wanted to review Cocio’s chocolate milk of course I said yes, what sort of chocolate milk lover would I be if I said no!
Cocio’s chocolate milk is unlike other chocolate milks in the UK, because it’s not from the UK, it’s Danish! I had no idea what to expect before I tried this, as I’ve never tried anything from there (other than Danish pastries…). Cocio is best enjoyed ice cold, and drunk straight from the bottle. It’s made from a simple blend of milk, cocoa, and sugar. As I’m meant to be watching what I eat I was happy to see they do a slightly better for you version, the Cocio One, with only 130 calories per bottle. I usually find that these versions don’t taste as nice as the original, but I was happy as it still tasted just as creamy and luxurious, just without the extra calories and only 1% fat and 1% added sugar.

I really enjoyed my Cocio One Chocolate Milk, and I’m happy to see it’s now available at my local Waitrose. I think it’s safe to say I have a new chocolate milk addiction. You can read more about Cocio here.
A while ago I blogged about how I wanted to give up sugar with the help of Healthy Sugar Habits 6 week detox programme. My detox programme ended on the 2nd March so I thought it was time to update on how I got on. I mentioned in my first post that I’m a complete and utter sugar addict….
Recently my mum has become low fodmap, meaning there’s a whole load of food she can’t have anymore. Two things happen to be gluten and dairy. This is making meal times a bit more interesting, and as I live at home I sort of follow the low fodmap diet, although dairy and gluten are two…
At the weekend I went to stay in London as an early birthday treat from my parents. While my dad had uni on the Saturday, my mum said she’d take me to see anything I wanted to see while we were there, I chose a visit to Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium. Mum really couldn’t understand…
Since I bought my little flat last year I’ve had a little obsession with all things interior design. The minute we started looking for our own place I started annoying Chris with clippings from home magazines, and by the time the sale had gone through, I had a whole Pinterest board full of ideas of…
Now that our days are (finally) brightening up and becoming warmer there’s nothing I crave more than sitting in outside in the sunshine with something cold to drink. One thing that appealed to me was iced tea. I’ve always been a big fan of iced tea, but I’ve never got around to making it myself….
Around this time of year I’m an absolute addict to Pumpkin Spiced Latte’s from Starbucks. Unfortunately living in small village there isn’t a Starbucks near to me, and the closest one is still a good 30 minutes drive away, so I’ll have to make do without. Although when the lovely people at Bluebird Tea Co sent me…
