Custard made up with skimmed milk is a prepared milk-based dessert or sauce. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with some protein, and also contains calcium and other minerals from milk. Per 100g, it provides 17g of carbohydrate, including 11g of sugars, alongside 4g of protein and 145mg of calcium.
Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Using skimmed milk keeps the fat and saturated fat content low, but the custard still contributes sugars and energy. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar intake.
