Horlicks The Original Malted Milk Drink Light, 500g

Product Information

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.

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 For a real taste of home, browse our Puddings and Desserts section and get tempted by all of the delicious food that you could have delivered to your door. Remember Angel Delight? Nothing could taste more nostalgic than this lovely whipped dessert and we sell so many different flavours! Ambrosia Devon Custard is another family favourite along with Ambrosia Semolina, Ambrosia Creamed Rice, Ambrosia Rice Pudding and Ambrosia Tapioca (remember that from school lunches?!). For that special occasion you will probably do what we do in the UK and go to your higher end supermarket to get that lovely treat to make your day. We recommend the fabulous Marks and Spencer Salted Caramel Sauce to add that special something to your ice cream or their White Chocolate Fudge Sauce - a real favourite of our grandchildren! Waitrose too can offer you those sweet treats - try their Seriously Chocolatey Dipping Sauce which is simply heavenly! Reading the list of ingredients, one would not see Ovaltine as a bad or harmful drink! However, it was banned in Denmark – which will certainly make you sit up and ask why? 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.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. 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. Ovaltine provides a fair amount of the daily nutrients we require to maintain a healthy body and lifestyle.

Ovaltine is sold as a nutrient-rich drink, great for growing kids and adults alike. It also claims to soothe and relax the mind and body. Ovaltine does provide a good mix of daily requirements of vitamins and minerals, which won’t cause any harm. High levels of Sugar Some of this sugar comes from lactose which is a natural sugar found in milk, however, most of the sugar is added. I love this drink because I can choose from a range of flavours that include iced latte, banana, chocolate and strawberry.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!

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. 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.UFIT High Protein Shake Drink contains 22g of high protein.

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.
