Ovaltine powder, made up with skimmed milk

Ovaltine powder made up with skimmed milk is a milk-based drink. The figures here refer to the prepared drink, rather than the dry powder alone. It mainly provides carbohydrate, along with protein, calcium and other vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 14g of carbohydrate, including 9.6g of sugars, 3.9g of protein and 200mg of calcium.

Calcium contributes to the maintenance of bones and teeth, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The sugar total includes lactose, the sugar naturally present in milk.
