Optimum Nutrition fans that have ventured around the world, outside of the US, will likely be aware that the selection of supplements available in different countries is not the same. That isn’t a tailored collection; the legacy sports nutrition company makes entirely separate products for other markets, especially in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. Those in the UK have been treated to another exclusive innovation this month as winter rolls in with Protein Hot Chocolate.
Optimum Nutrition Protein Hot Chocolate is a supplement only available in the United Kingdom and Europe, and it is exactly what it’s titled with a powder that can be turned into a hot chocolate that’s high in protein. The brand makes the product with high-end hydrolyzed whey concentrate and skimmed milk powder, providing 20g of protein per serving alongside a sizeable 6.5g of carbohydrates, 2.6g of that sugar, 2.3g of fat, and a protein powder-like calorie count of 128.
One of the things Optimum Nutrition tends to get right most of the time at launch is taste and we have to imagine that remains the case for the all-new Protein Hot Chocolate in the United Kingdom and Europe. It comes in two flavors, Chocolate and Chocolate Hazelnut, and you prepare them the same as you would traditional hot chocolate by throwing in four rounded dessert spoons into a mug, pour in some hot water, stir, and then you’ve got a lean high-protein beverage.
Those of you in the United Kingdom and Europe can get your hands on Optimum Nutrition Protein Hot Chocolate from your usual stockist or go directly through the legacy sports nutrition brand’s online store. The price is rather high for a protein powder, but what would you expect from a functional supplement that can be made into a unique and nostalgic hot chocolate at £21.99 (28.69 USD) for a tub of ten servings.
