Horlicks The Original Malted Milk Drink Light, 500g

Product Information

To make a malt milk drink – simply measure out the recommended quantity of powder into a mug. Add a small amount of milk or water and stir into a paste. Then fill up the mug with milk or water. Using milk makes the drink richer, while using water gives a lighter consistency. Malted drinks can be made with cold milk but the usual option is to drink it as a hot drink. When you add a glass of milk of around 8oz to your Ovaltine powder, you will get an additional 8 grams of protein. Vitamins and Nutrients

It is the inability of your intestine to break down the natural sugar called lactose. If you suffer from Lactose intolerance you may experience nausea, cramps, gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Ovaltine is not for you. Consuming too many dairies can cause acne in teens and also raises cholesterol levels. For children who are allergic to milk, Ovaltine should be avoided.

In 2011 Denmark banned Ovaltine due to its added ingredients. In particular, the added ingredients that caused the ban were Vitamin D and Folate. To give some context – Vegemite was also banned in Denmark. In 2014, Canada followed Denmark and banned Ovaltine and other products for similar reasons. Is Ovaltine Vegan? I would probably say that Ovaltine wins by a slim margin simply because it has a higher content of Vitamin A and C. Ovaltine also tasted better when mixed with water instead of milk.

In a nutshell, a malted milk drink is made from a powdered mix that can contain malted barley, wheat flour and evaporated whole milk. The powder may also contain eggs, sugar, cocoa, flavors and other additives that are included by the manufacturer.

Ovaltine provides a fair amount of the daily nutrients we require to maintain a healthy body and lifestyle. Bio Culture Complex is not a drink, but comes in the form of a capsule that you swallow.

Zinc Oxide – approved by the FDA for use in food as an essential trace mineral responsible for metabolic reactions Do you want a high protein drink that is dairy-free without as much sugar? I would recommend UFIT High Protein Shake Drink – Iced Latte 310ml It is a dairy product – Being a milk/whey based product, Ovaltine will not be suitable for those people who react negatively to dairy products. Dairy products contain high levels of Lactose. Lactose intolerance affects many people.

Ovaltine is easy to use. Simply open the bottle and spoon out 3-4 teaspoons into a mug. Add a little water or milk and mix into a paste. Then fill up your mug with additional hot milk or water. High levels of sugar – The negative that I found with Ovaltine is that it contains a high level of added sugar. The American Heart Association recommends that women and children limit their daily sugar intake to 25 grams. If you are a man, you can increase this to around 36 grams of sugar per day.Both of these drinks are malted milk products. After reviewing and tasting both drinks I would say that they are very interchangeable! Ovaltine is not Vegan. It contains dairy products which are excluded from a pure Vegan diet. Ease of use Bio Culture Complex contains no artificial colors or flavours. It is contaminant-free, free from gluten, lactose and nuts. Best pro of all – it has no added sugar. Take 2 capsules daily with a glass of water.

Being a malted milk drink, the main question is – what type of milk / protein am I drinking? The milk / protein source in Ovaltine comes from dairy whey. Ovaltine was originally called Ovomaltine, a name that came from the word ‘ovum’ the Latin for egg, followed by malt. Ovomaltine was first developed in Switzerland and is still made in the original village of Neuenegg, near to Bern. Some of this sugar comes from lactose which is a natural sugar found in milk, however, most of the sugar is added. Being a chocoholic, I love the rich chocolate version of Ovaltine! As a Mum, I am happy to let my kids drink both. I would, however, restrict it to a couple of mugs a week due to the high sugar content. I would prefer not to have them drink either of these daily. Ovaltine contains a very small amount of your daily protein requirement, less than 1%. The original formulation contained protein in the form of eggs, but most variations today no longer include eggs.Too much sugar puts you at risk for weight gain, heart disease and diabetes. At 14-18 grams of sugar per serving, you are getting a large dose of your daily average and would have to carefully monitor additional sugar intake. A glass of Ovaltine now and again won’t be a problem, but if you tend to be overweight or are worried about diabetes, you should probably look for other alternatives. Ovaltine offers a high level of Vitamin D, which is vital to maintain healthy bones and teeth. It is also high in Vitamin B6, which is needed for proper brain development in children. Vitamin B6 also helps the body cope with stress. That’s why drinking a glass of Ovaltine will make you feel relaxed! I love this drink because I can choose from a range of flavours that include iced latte, banana, chocolate and strawberry. The manufacturing process of creating whey is to curdle and strain cow’s milk. The liquid that is extracted is known as the whey. Both drinks both have pros and cons, and if you are not convinced, I will also suggest some alternatives for you and your family to try out.
