Here is an interesting blog posting from an Australian nutritionist:
http://foodwatch.com.au/blog/additives-and-labels/item/nutella-the-full-correct-list-of-ingredients.html

I wouldn't call that interesting. Not sue who would think of Nutella as a health food. It's a treat. Saturated fat isn't inherently bad so the nutritionist is just flat out wrong in that article.

Plus, I can get the nutrition facts right off of their website so I'm not sure what the hoopla is about it.

The ads empasize the healthy ingredients such as skim milk, hazelnuts and cocoa. To me that is marketing it as a healthy food to feed your children. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbmueS6sHPM

I don't know. They just say happy ingredients. I agree, those ingredients make me happy.

You have a lot more faith in the "enlightened consumer" than I do.

I like it. I like it plain, I like it on crackers, I like it on strawberries, in crepes, sandwiches, I've made the 5 ingredient Nutella cookies,and the Nutella filled crescent rolls. Those were easy and delicious. I don't think I've had it a way I haven't liked it. I do keep it in the house, but it's hidden because my kids have made themselves sick on it. So now if they want it they ask for it.

Love Nutella. A little bit goes a long way though. I typically only have it on crepes.

Tim Hortons in Canada just launched nutella doughnuts, nutella pastry pockets and added nutella to their list of bagel toppings.

I just luuuurve it so much. I used to have it on toast or just straight from the jar.
Now I have a tablespoon of it with strawberries, and pancakes. Yum.

I rarely have a craving for it, but when I do I can eat a few spoonfuls

My friend Cara has a gluten free blog. Not that this thread has anything to do with gf, but here's a recipe for Nutella popsicles. Enjoy!

I like it, though I rarely have it. One time I ate too much of it and had intense nightmares.

I might try making my own sometime soon.

Pitted dates filled with Nutella = delicious!

shhh there are no thoughts, only dreams now

I loved Nutella, when I was in high school and college, and it became a game of finding it in the few stores that carried it in the U.S. in the 90's.

Now, it tastes too sweet to me, to the point that it makes my teeth hurt. I've gotten used to (and found I prefer) the chocolate Nuttzo over Nutella.

Did somebody say CHOCOLATE?????

This may be unpopular, but I've actually found something that I think is BETTER than Nutella (and I think Nutella is pretty damned good).
For all the Brits out there, go to Tesco and get yourselves a jar of Tesco Bourbon Spread.
It is the EXACT flavour of the filling of bourbon biscuits. Oh my.

This. If we have it, it's usually because we're making banana nutella crepes

My thoughts on Nutella? It's nasty. Ew. :sick:

It's so easy to eat too much Nutella! Well, at least I've reached a place where I can have a jar of the stuff in my kitchen without eating it by the spoonful. 21 g of sugar for 2 tbs is just so high! I do enjoy Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, and it only has 8 g of sugar per 2 tbs serving, but it's definitely not as decadent as Nutella, and it tends to be way more expensive. The calories on both are high, but comparable to peanut butter.

I'm sensing I might be able to realize my dream of becoming a millionaire if I can figure out a way to smuggle nutella pastries from Tim Hortons to the people on this thread

I think it should be it's own food group. Love it. Oh, and here is a recipe for 2 ingredient nutella brownies. For you protein people it's just nutella and eggs so surely that is high in protein. lol

Maybe as a pre-workout? hahaha

Is drooling a thought? Does that count?

I wish it was easier to spread on pancakes.

All you need to do is put a little in the microwave and pour it on; if you're a microwave free type person it may take a little more effort.

its delicious wrapped in wonton wrappers and deep fried, and some powdered sugar sprinkled on top. yup

I do not even care to try it either. I have enough other temptations I have trouble avoiding. I don't trust myself with chocolate, and it looks similar enough. Now that I have read these posts of others, I am even more sure I am right.
