Drink Milo

Everyone in the family loves Milo and I feel that I just have to share some information about this tasty and nutritious beverage. While watching the World Cup finals and munching snacks, what could be better to quench your thirst but beer or a tall glass of cold Milo or a piping hot cuppa.
Milo is a malted chocolate dairy milk beverage that was developed in Australia some 80 plus years ago. It has remained highly popular in several countries like Colombia, South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, etc..
Malaysians are apparently the world's largest consumers of Milo. The drink has gained the reputation of being highly nutritious and a must-have for the young and old. It is not uncommon for hospital patients, convalescent persons or mothers in confinement to receive a tin of Milo together with fruit and other supplements from visitors. Cold milo drinks served from vans at schools' sports day is a common sight.

Milo is taken hot or cold stirred into or sprinkled on a glass of milk and even on cold blended red adzuki bean drink. Milo nuggets or energy bites are a joy!
I hunted for Milo in many stores in Midwest USA without success. Found out much later that it may only be on the shelves of Asian stores. We would have to drive some 45 minutes whenever we run out of that tin of Milo. But of course its available on Amazon.
