Horlicks is a drink I remember fondly from childhood, as a warming drink on a cold winters day, or a drink before bedtime to give me a good nights sleep. They now produce a ‘Light Chocolate’ version with 55% less fat than the original recipe, meaning less calories per cup – perfect!
A mug of Horlicks Traditional is packed with 14 key nutrients including Vitamin B6 which contributes to the normal functioning of both the nervous and immune system and can reduce tiredness and fatigue. It is also low fat and a source of protein.
As well as the powedered drink, Horlicks have released some vintage inspired goodies to store your Horlicks in and drink it out of. I love the old fashioned style tins and they make a great accessory for the kitchen.
I’ve been having a nightly cup of Horlicks over the last week or so when the evenings have been chilly and have to say the taste really surprised me. It seemed nicer than I remember from years ago and definitely a drink I’ll include in my bedtime routine over the winter months. It’s frothy and creamy yet so simple to mix up with hot water, well worth a try!
If you fancy trying the Light range of Horlicks along with the memorabilia shown above, then just enter my giveaway below to win a bundle of goodies:
