I have fond memories of drinking Ovaltine as a child, particularly at Christmas (I even liked it on it’s own straight from the jar!). I can remember having a hot cup of Ovaltine on Christmas Eve and looking back it was probably a plan by my parents to get my sister and me to go to sleep early so the presents were under the tree in the morning. . . I never did hear Father Christmas on the roof of our house!! I blame it on the Ovaltine for making me sleepy!! So a few weeks ago I bought Ovaltine Chocolate, as I fancied a nice milky drink, and any drink with chocolate in it is a bonus! Previously known as Ovaltine Light, Ovaltine Chocolate Light is an instant chocolaty drink from the Ovaltine range that contains at least 20% of the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of 11 vitamins and 3 minerals, as well as being a good source of calcium. What is it? Ovaltine Chocolate Light is made with the wholesome goodness of barely, malt and cocoa. Ovaltine’s unique recipe contains essential vitamins and minerals that provide a good source of nutrients to complement a healthy balanced diet. For anyone out there who finds it difficult to eat 5-a-Day, this drink is great to ensure that you are getting all of you vitamins and minerals. A 20g servicing (4 teaspoons) made with 200ml of water contains 302 kj, 72 calories, 1.2g of fat and 11.3g of sugar. What goodness does it contain? Ovaltine Chocolate Light contains around 20% of your Recommended Daily Amount of the following Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamin A , Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin, Pantothentic Acid, Vitamin (B6), Biotin, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Folic Acid, Iron, Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium Packaging Ovaltine Chocolate Light comes in a 300g plastic jar (which is recyclable) and costs £1.68. The top is a brown screw top tip lid and the jar itself is Orange in colour, the bottom half is Brown with Ovaltine written in large Blue writing across the jar. Each 300g jar contains enough for 15 servings and Ovaltine Chocolate Light is also available in a 20g sachet which is ideal to take to work as an alternative to Tea or Coffee. Directions Put 4 teaspoons into a cup and simply add 200ml of hot (not boiling) water and stir. I prefer to heap the teaspoons and if I am using a mug to only fill it half full of water. This makes the Ovaltine more chocolaty and richer. It is quite sweet and even through I have two sugars in my tea, I don’t feel the need to add any sugar to this. It still retains that unmistakable barely and malt flavour that we all loved with Ovaltine original and has an added smooth chocolate taste. As it is ‘Light’ and made with water you don’t get that really full feeling after drinking it and it doesn’t make you feel sleepy and want to got to bed!! In my opinion, I now prefer Ovaltine Light to the original drink where you add milk, as I find that this can be too heavy. It makes a great change from Tea of Coffee and can be drunk at any time of the day. It is packed full of vitamins and minerals which we all need and has a lovely smooth chocolate taste. I would definitely recommend this to anyone as it makes an ideal drink for all the family. Other drinks in the Ovaltine range are: Ovaltine Original (add milk) 300g Ovaltine Original Light (add water) 300g Ovaltine Instant Light 400g Ovaltine Max Milk Chocolate/Strawberry 300g (great for children) Ovaltine Original Light 25g sachet Ovaltine Chocolate light 20g sachet Other information Ovaltine is a great course of vitamins and minerals for those who are pregnant. Did you know that compared to plain milk, Ovaltine contains nearly twice as much Calcium, five times more Folic Acid and Zinc and 25 times more Iron, based on a 25g service on Ovaltine Original made with 200ml of semi-skinned milk.
