Is the Frozen Signature Hot Chocolate a good deal?

At a typical $4.49, the Frozen Signature Hot Chocolate at Panera Bread gives you 610 calories and 9g of protein — 2.0g of protein and 136 calories for every dollar you spend. That earns it a value score of 48/100, which ranks it #650 of the 1023 comparable items we've priced across every chain (the typical comparable item returns about 2.8g of protein per dollar).
