Better alternative to Ovaltine?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Hello, I am looking for some suggestions.  I really like Ovaltine, but I know it isn't the greatest thing.  It seems like I am cancelling out the organic skim milk I am putting it in.

 

Any suggestions for an alternative?  It doesn't necessarily need to be chocolate.

 

Thanks!

I've never had Ovaltine, so maybe this won't be a good substitute, but when I want a hot drink that isn't coffee, tea or hot chocolate, I just heat up a mug of milk (or soy milk or almond milk), add some vanilla and possibly some honey or turbinado sugar, and spices - cardamom, nutmeg, or cinnamon are all very nice alone or in combination. It's a very comforting beverage.

I make peanut butter banana smoothies.  They taste very unhealthy, but they only have natural peanut butter, a banana, and milk.  So yummy!

Thanks ladies!  orngbiggrin.gif  Sometimes I like a hot milk drink and sometimes I like something cold, and both of these suggestions sound super good.  I had totally forgot about smoothies.  Need to go get some bananas!  And more vanilla extract.

If you do want chocolate, Lake Champlain has organic hot chocolate mix, and I think they have an unsweetened version too.

Thanks 1love4ever!  I will see if I can find that organic hot chocolate mix.  I do love Lake Champlain peppermint chocolate bars, so I imagine that they hot chocolate mix is just as delicious!
