You all know about Milo, and it’s more famous among growing children. The reason may be the taste, but it’s supposedly high in energy. And according the manufacturers’ claim the has 1,760 kJ in every 100 g of the drink. This is the reason may be due to which Milo is marketed as the “Energy Food Drink”.

Along with the rich energy elements, it’s also supposed to have a low Glycemic Index (GI), that is, “33 made with whole milk, 36 made with reduced fat milk”. This allows the energy in Milo to be released slowly. According to the manufacturers the drink “is high in calcium, iron and the vitamins B1, 2, 6, 12.”

You can add Milo to hot or cold milk to give it a malted chocolate flavour and extra texture. When combined with cold milk, it retains the gritty texture of its raw state. Milo can be stirred into steamed milk or hot water to create something similar to hot chocolate or cocoa. Sugar can be added to the milo beverage, but many people enjoy it without the addition of sweeteners, appreciating it for its subtle chocolate flavour. Another possible use is making a normal cup of cold Milo and microwaving it for approximately 40-60 seconds. This gives the Milo drink a biscuity cover on top. [Wikipedia]
