I don’t even know how this ended up in our house. Chocolate I can take or leave but Nutella is a different thing altogether, I have very fond memories of sitting in front of Platoon and eating a whole tub of it as a kid. So no sooner was it in the house than I was having to sample it with a spoon. It’s without doubt the nicest chocolaty type thing you can buy, but just how healthy is it?
Looking at the raw calories Nutella should be the devils food. Each small tub contains over 2500 calories! But it’s made with like 5,000 hazelnuts, nuts are good right? As they put it, lots of nuts, some sugar, milk and a bit of cocoa. How can that possibly be bad for you. This is where the secret is to Nutella and any other treats for that matter. In moderation there is absolutely nothing with Nutella, it’s even advertised as being part of a child friendly breakfast. The problem comes with Nutella addiction, basically it’s so bloody nice that once you start you can’t stop.
Eating Nutella by the spoonful is not a good idea, for me though just having Nutella in the house is not a good idea full stop!
