Not bad for a delicious tasting milk mix is it? The above % of vitamins is the % of the amount needed daily. So just think, if you drink 2 glasses of Ovaltine a day, you can get almost all of your required amount of those vitamins!
What’s also good, is that you can also use Ovaltine hot! Good for those chilly mornings when you don’t want a cup of coffee or tea. And you can add a teaspoon to your coffee for a mocha tasting treat as well.
The ingredients of the mix are as follows:
sugar
maltodextrin
toasted soy flour
barley
malt
whey
molasses
nonfat dry milk
(and surprisingly) beet extract.
A 12 ounce jar costs about $3.49 (US) and is worth every cent.
When you do mix it in your milk, it gives it a smooth and creamy chocolaty malt taste. Another way to use Ovaltine...You mix it with your favorite ice cream and milk, put it in a blender and make a great tasting shake or malted! We also do this, add a banana for great taste and added potassium, blend it up and zowie! Good stuff!
