About Malted drink mix, natural, powder

Natural malted drink mix is the malt-flavored powder behind classic warm bedtime drinks like Horlicks and the original Ovaltine. It is made from malted barley, wheat flour and milk solids, giving it a toasty, lightly sweet flavor, and it is meant to be stirred by the spoonful into a glass or mug of milk.

The figures here describe the dry powder, not the finished drink — an important distinction. Per 100 grams the powder carries about 428 calories, 14 grams of protein, 71 grams of carbohydrate (around 48 of them sugar), and a good amount of calcium (about 298 milligrams) and potassium. But you do not drink 100 grams of powder: a typical serving is only about three heaping teaspoons (roughly 20 grams), which adds around 85 calories to a glass before the milk is counted.

Most of the protein and calcium in the finished drink actually comes from the milk you mix it into, with the powder adding malt flavor, some carbohydrate and a little of its own nutrition. Made with warm milk it is a comforting, modestly nourishing drink — just keep an eye on the added sugar if you sweeten it further.
