Ode to Nutella

You don’t need to worry, I’m not about to stand up and sing. But what I do need to do is proclaim my love for Nutella. Built up over years of Nutella slathered on toast for breakfast, this delicious chocolate spread has been part of my life since I was old enough to take a bite out of a slice of toast. And now I’ve given it up for Lent.

40 days without Nutella will be quite an ask. To put it plainly, I don’t crave chocolate. In fact, a bar of chocolate is something that I rarely eat. But Nutella is a different ball game. On toast, rice cakes, pancakes, and when I’m looking for something really indulgent, I even add Nutella to a slice of chocolate cake. Yes, the next six weeks are going to be very hard. I’m not quite sure how I will cope!
