HELLO!!

Alright, so here is an interesting smoothie I made for my Grandmother this afternoon. It’s main ingredients are APPLES, ALMOND MILK AND HORLICKS!

What’s Horlicks?

For those of you who don’t know what Horlicks is, I shall give you the quick rundown on it:

Horlicks is a malted milk powder.

Nutrition info for Horlicks with milk:  2 tablespoon horlicks + 200ml skim milk

(info. via http://www.healthguru.sg/learn-about-food/nutrition-info-calories-in-horlicks-malted-milk/)

It contained malted barely and wheat flour which is then mashed together in hot water to create sugars converted from starch. Dairy is then added.  The water then evaporates in order to form a syrup.

This is dried to form a cake.

This cake is milled into the finished powder. This is then fortified with vitamins and minerals.

It is said to help promote sleep, however that isn’t exactly a certainty. It doesn’t always help me sleep. But it used to when I was a younger little girl.

This and Ovaltine are almost ALWAYS in a jamaican household, by the way. *bigupbigup*

ANYWAY, so thats a little bit about Horlicks. I am sure you can find it in your local grocery store.

ON TO THE DRINK!
