Nestle Milo chocolate malt drink found in either liquid in Red Bull-sized cans or powdered and ready-to-mix in jars. It's very popular in Malaysia and Singapore (but also available in other countries) and if you find it in a store here in the States, it is probably from Malaysia like this 8-ounce can that I bought for
79 cents.
Interestingly enough, Milo is marketed as an energy drink and is fortified with vitamins and minerals. It also has a bit of fiber from the malt.
I don't know if I would drink it as an energy drink but it's like a pleasant, slightly thicker cup of chocolate milk with a hint of vanilla which is pretty nice in my book, especially when it's nicely chilled out of the fridge.

Most of us aren’t eating as healthfully as we probably should be. Perhaps it’s due to a lack of time, a lack of money for nutritious foods, or maybe just a lack of knowledge about what constitutes a healthy diet. In any of these instances, the idea of supplements can be quite appealing to fill in any gaps that you might have in your diet.

ReplyDeleteI think they're a little better now... but just a little. My cousin had me try some modern rations... it was interesting...
ReplyDeleteNo weevils though.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surpised Milo is marketed as an energy drink. I have heard that chocolate milk provides many of the same benefits as Gatorade, Powerade, etc. when exercising.
ReplyDeleteI knew that milk was good for after a workout but never heard the chocolate milk bit before. Interesting though!
