More Ovaltine Please!

Ok, so I don't generally endorse supplementation because it's much better to get all your nutrients from whole foods (track your diet with My Fitness Pal and you'll know you're always on target!), but if you have a child like mine who doesn't eat much (and certainly not always the right things) then sometimes you don't have much of an option.

Enter Ovaltine. There's a bunch of vitamins and minerals in it with very few calories and it's CHOCOLATE! I put it in a cup full of whole milk for my son and let him go at it, he loves it. Sometimes I put it in coffee for myself and holy moly is it good.

Check out the nutrient breakdown:

So there's not exactly your whole daily requirement of anything in here, but I think that's also a plus. You don't want to get TOO much of any one thing and this is pretty balanced and again, very few calories. If you have a chocolate monkey on your back, this could be your saving grace!

Enjoy!

  1. I love Ovaltine. Plus, your idea of chocolate added to coffee is a wonderful thing.
