Nesquik Chocolate Milk Nutrition Fact List
Flavored milk contains the same nutrients as unflavored milk. According to the National Dairy Council, flavored milk is a palatable alternative that helps ensure children consume adequate amounts of calcium each day. The main concern regarding flavored milks is their sugar content. On average each 8-oz serving of flavored milk contains 56 more calories than its unflavored counterpart. Flavoring milk with Nesquik makes milk attractive to children and those who would otherwise skip milk, and its nutrient-fortified varieties provide additional vitamins and minerals.
Powder
Nesquik Chocolate Powder is sold in multiserving containers. To make chocolate milk, mix 2 tbsp. of the powder with approximately 1 cup of milk. A 2 tbsp. serving of Nesquik powder contains 60 calories, 5 of which come from fat, 0.5g of fat and no cholesterol. Each serving also contains 30mg of cholesterol and 14g of carbohydrates. Nesquik provides 10 percent of the USDA recommended daily allowance of calcium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, biotin, zinc copper and manganese.
