Milo - Energy Drink

This is one of the popular morning drink in the Philippines. Kids love to drink Milo in the morning instead of Milk and adults also drinks Milo instead of Coffee. Below is the information about this drink that I read online.



Milo is a chocolate and malt powder which is mixed with hot or cold milk to produce a beverage which is popular in many parts of the world. It is best taken in milk clumps. Produced by Nestlé, and was originally developed by Thomas Mayne in Sydney, Australia in 1934. It is marketed and sold in many countries around the world.

Milo is supposedly high in energy, because the drink has 1,760 kJ in every 100 g of the drink. It is also for this reason, marketed as the "Energy Food Drink". It is 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.

The Milo website states that the drink is high in calcium, iron and the vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12. It also has Actigen-E that releases the energy stored in a person's body. Artcle source - Wikipedia
