The least caloric

Dark chocolate, Pleasure Newtree What's in it? The first ingredient is glucose, then whole milk. 304 calories per 100g. The opinion of the dietitian. “This dough is less fatty and caloric than the others. Too bad that glucose is the main ingredient and that others are less noble, such as invert sugar syrup. On the other hand, thanks to inulin, a fiber that gives consistency for a low caloric intake, this dough is less fatty and caloric than the others. It is also rich in fiber which calms the appetite. " And it's good ? It's more of a thick chocolate cream. €3.50 for a 250g jar, Franprix and on www.newtree.fr. * Aud rey Aveaux, director of Nutritionnellement www.nutritionnellement.fr
