Why Little Joys Nutrimix Chocolate Drink Mix scores [L]AD4

How we score →

A

Exceptional nutrient density

Protein

Vitamins and minerals
23 declared
Energy
365 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why A

Protein is 26.45 g per 100 g, 5.3 g in one 20 g sachet, from milk and plant proteins. Fibre is 3.35 g per 100 g, so a sachet adds under 1 g.

A long list of vitamins and minerals is declared, including calcium at 1,223 mg, vitamin A at 1,147 mcg and vitamin D at 44 mcg per 100 g. That micronutrient bonus lifts the grade to an A.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

None

02 Ingredient integrity: why D

The list is mostly whole-food based: milk powder, pulses, nuts, jaggery, dates, cocoa and millets, with added minerals and vitamins at the end. No percentages are declared for any of the blends.

The product name says chocolate and no chocolate is listed. The taste comes from cocoa powder and a nature-identical chocolate flavour, which costs ingredient points as a hollow label promise and sets the [L].

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk1 to 5

High risk

Added sugar

Sodium
147.1 mg
Saturated fat
0.75 g
Trans fat
0 g

03 Load risk: why 4

Added sugar is the main driver: 35 g per 100 g, about 7 g in a sachet. It makes up most of the risk number, which lands on a 4.

Energy (364.6 kcal per 100 g) adds a little. Sodium at 147 mg and saturated fat at 0.75 g per 100 g add very little, and trans fat is 0 g.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.

Does Little Joys Nutrimix Chocolate Drink Mix live up to its claims?

The chocolate in the name does not hold: none is listed. The protein, calcium and no-preservatives claims hold, and naturally sweetened still means 7 g added sugar per sachet.

  • Product name

    “Chocolate Drink Mix”

    Misleading

    No chocolate is listed as an ingredient. The taste comes from cocoa powder and a nature-identical chocolate flavour.

  • On the pack

    “Naturally Sweetened”

    Be careful

    The sweetness is from jaggery and dates, with no artificial sweeteners. It is still 35 g added sugar per 100 g, about 7 g per sachet.

  • On the pack

    “4+ Protein Blend”

    Holds

    The blend lists seven sources, led by skim milk powder and milk protein concentrate. Protein is 26.45 g per 100 g, 5.3 g per sachet.

  • On the pack

    “Calcium Supports Bone Health”

    Holds

    Calcium is declared at 245 mg per 20 g sachet, from tribasic calcium phosphate and the milk powder.

  • Retail listing

    “Added sugar on the page”

    Be careful

    The retailer page shows 11.9 g unrefined added sugar, the pack shows 7 g per 20 g sachet. The pack figure is the one scored.

What's in Little Joys Nutrimix Chocolate Drink Mix?

Skim milk powder and other proteins lead the list, with jaggery, dates and cocoa after them. No percentages are declared, and the flavour is nature-identical.

How we rate additives →

0 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.

The ingredient list, read for you

A protein blend of skim milk powder, milk protein concentrate, pea protein isolate, brown rice protein, almond, walnut and moong dal leads the list. Jaggery and dates sweeten it, and cocoa powder and a nature-identical chocolate flavour give the taste. A fibre blend (oats fibre, chia, flax, ragi, bajra), algal DHA, a digestive enzyme mix called Digezyme, and added minerals and vitamins follow. None of the blends carries a declared percentage.

The label numbers, read for you

The number that decides the risk grade is added sugar: 35 g per 100 g, 7 g in a 20 g sachet, with total sugar at 9.1 g per sachet. Energy is 364.6 kcal per 100 g, about 73 kcal per sachet, before the milk. Protein is 26.45 g per 100 g, 5.3 g per sachet, while fibre is small at 0.67 g per sachet. Sodium is 29 mg per sachet.

The panel declares 23 vitamins and minerals plus algal DHA. Per sachet that includes 245 mg calcium, 229 mcg vitamin A, 8.8 mcg vitamin D, 12.8 mg vitamin C and 11.8 mg DHA. Fat is low at 0.49 g per sachet.

What it doesn’t have

  • No percentages are declared for the protein blend, the sweetener blend, the cocoa or the fibre blend, so the share of jaggery and dates against protein is not shown.

What to know about Little Joys Nutrimix Chocolate Drink Mix

Protein-rich and fortified, but 35 g added sugar

Little Joys Nutrimix Chocolate Drink Mix is a powder sold in a box of six 20 g sachets, aimed at children aged 7 and over. It is built on a protein blend (skim milk powder, milk protein concentrate, pea protein isolate, brown rice protein, almond, walnut and moong dal), sweetened with jaggery and dates, then flavoured with cocoa powder and a nature-identical chocolate flavour. A fibre blend of oats fibre, chia, flax, ragi and bajra, algal DHA, a digestive enzyme mix, and added minerals and vitamins complete it. No percentages are declared. One sachet is stirred into a glass of milk.

Per 100 g the powder has 364.6 kcal, 26.45 g protein, 3.35 g fibre and 35 g added sugar. In one 20 g sachet that is about 73 kcal, 5.3 g protein, 0.67 g fibre and 7 g added sugar, with 245 mg calcium and 229 mcg vitamin A. The sugar is the cost: it comes from jaggery and dates, but it still counts as added sugar on the panel.

The name promises a chocolate drink mix, and the ingredient list has no chocolate. The taste comes from cocoa powder and a nature-identical chocolate flavour, and that sets the [L] flag. The claims on sweetening, protein and no preservatives are easier to support. CleanPlate scores it [L]AD4.
