Ovaltine
Ovaltine
Ovaltine is a classic malt-based beverage powder combining barley malt extract, cocoa, milk solids, sugar, and a blend of essential vitamins and minerals. Originating in Switzerland in 1904 as Ovomaltine, it became known as Ovaltine in English‑speaking markets due to a trademark error in 1909.
Rich in nutrients—including B‑vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, iron, copper, and more—it supports immune health, bone strength, energy production, and growth. A 21 g serving (with milk) delivers about 20–40% of the daily values for many of these nutrients.
Ovaltine has a smooth, chocolate-malt flavor and dissolves easily in hot or cold milk or water—ready in seconds for a nutrition-packed drink. It’s caffeine-free, vegetarian-friendly, and widely enjoyed from childhood through adulthood. It’s also used in baking, smoothies, or even in special recipes like Ovaltine lattes.
