Fenugreek Chocolate Drink

Mommy has been always looking for healthy nutritional drinks for Eeanne, it is not easy to find some beverage that really able to meet Eeanne's choosy buds. Mommy had tried few which personally mommy feels they are quite tasty with rich nutrition but Eeanne just doesn't like it.

Mommy had thought of chocolate some time ago but most of the chocolate drink in the market are too sweet.

Finally mommy thought of giving a try to this brand Dr's Choice Fenugreek Chocolate drink....and Eeanne likes it!! Actually mommy loves it too...:-)

Some facts on this products:

- it taste smooth, not really thick and not as sweet as normal chocolate drink

- most importantly it is sugar-free, the sweetener used is sucralose (from cane sugar). One thing good about sucralose is, its chlorinated molecular structure is not able to be recognized by our bodies and will not be absorbed, the whole substance will be just excreted out without any metabolites left in our bodies. Futhermore sucralose is zero-calories. It is safe even for diabetic

- about the fenugreek benefits, of course there is no proven clinical benefits, but its traditional used is widely recognized for alleviating common illness such as lowering sugar and cholesterol level, digestion problem, ezcema, female reproductive problem and many many more...

Of course there is no scientific proven benefits of fenugreek in children, but in this product, fenugreek is not the main ingredient, is more as an adjunct benefits to chocolate drink for its fibre contents and other insignificant effects as above.

So why mommy choose this beverage for Eeanne:

- the fullness effect from fenugreek fibre which mommy will give only at night before sleep to sustain the longer sleep hour and less milk feeding interval (until now Eeanne still has her milk fed around 5-6am and this really affect mommy & daddy's sleep quality..:-P)

- it is sugar-free and doesn't taste too sweet even with the suralose

- its mucilage effect when reaching the stomach, will form a protecting lining and reduce the acid reflux, thus reduces the regurgitation in children especially at night time.

The packaging is 20g/sachet and each box has only 8 sachets

Retail price = RM 12.90/bx (which think is still reasonable with its benefits offered)
