Horlicks

Advantages: Its good for you
Disadvantages: needs fudge with it

...?So who didn?t have their Horlicks last night?? Horlicks prides itself on its ingredients not only being good for you, but able to help you ?sleep better? and to ?feel better.? (although the company admit this slogan is not applicable to the chocolate drink, only to the malted ones.) Its Saturday night and I'm exhausted from a stressful week at work, and I am quite happily curled up in my PJs with a mug of my fav tipple. All my peers are out on ...
...on Horlicks with the full knowledge that I will need nothing in order to help me sleep tonight. What is it? Horlicks was the first ever instant malted drink. It?s a nourishing hot ?food? drink, which has the wholesome goodness of malted barley, wheat and dairy ingredients. It also comes in a chocolate flavour, and has ?light? varieties. (The difference basically being that with the light variety, you can make the drink with water rather than with ... Read review

Advantages: Tasty, luxurious, sleepy time drink.
Disadvantages: None really, unless you don't like flavour of malt.

...bought a large box of Horlicks Light, the malt chocolate version, in anticipation of some quality forty winks! You can buy the range in various sized packages, including single sachets, 200g and 400g jars, 500g boxes or even a bumper 1kg bucket of the original drink. Priced from 0.37p to £3.79 accordingly. Well suffice to say it seems to work, but why? Well a hot milky drink has always been thought of as a good aid to restful sleep – milk is known ...
...a vitamin pill. Horlicks comes in a range which is split into original, and light. The original varieties are designed to be made up with hot milk, whereas the light drink is to be made up with hot water. Using the light version still gives you the milk/malt effect that helps you sleep – it’s just that there’s less milk in the total drink! The light version contains, amongst other ingredients, skimmed milk powder and milk proteins. To make the drink ... Read review

...as I love the Horlicks Original, it's this one that I am writing about today. Although there are so many bedtime drinks to choose from, Horlicks is easy to spot amongst its rivals. The packaging consists of bright blue labelling and on the front is a steaming mug of horlick's. The steam floating out of the mug cleverly displays the famous Horlick's logo. Opening the jar I can immediately smell a strong malty whiff. It's not too unpleasant, but ... Read review

Advantages: Low fat instant version is good for those watching their calories
Disadvantages: Doesn't taste as good as the original

...than a nice mug of Horlicks before you go to bed in an evening. Experience has taught me that it’s great tool for helping you nod off. It’s deliciously creamy and just tastes of childhood. Besides, it’s good for you –after all it’s packed with malty goodness. Well, that’s what I’ve always told myself. Problem is, I like my Horlicks made the traditional way with lashings of hot, full-fat milk. Not really the ...
...Much easier than the traditional Horlicks when you add hot milk to it. Whether this is a good thing is purely a matter of taste. I actually enjoy crunching on the lumps that refuse to dissolve on the surface of the traditional version. It’s all part of the Horlicks experience for me. The next thing you notice is the smell. The smell of Horlicks is unmistakable – it’s got a maltyness all unto itself and this version is true to the ... Read review

Advantages: Helps you relax and sleep better at night
Disadvantages: Not suitable for vegetarians

...nice cup of Horlicks…." Horlicks is one of those drinks that I hadn't had for years, so I bought myself a 200g jar of Horlicks original and decided to give it a try. The Horlicks Range Horlicks is sold in two different formats, these being Horlicks Original and Horlicks light. The main differences between the two apart from the number of calories per mug full is that Horlicks light is made with hot water whilst Horlicks Original is made from hot ...
...help you to sleep? Horlicks is essentially a warm milky drink which in itself can help relax the body. My Grandmother always drank a mug of warm milk before bedtime. She claimed it helped her to sleep better, the scientific reasoning behind this is not entirely clear and many of its benefits may actually be psychological but milk proteins can help settle the stomach and reduce the effects of indigestion. Horlicks is also a malt drink and is rich ... Read review

Advantages: Tasty, good warm feeling, easy to make.
Disadvantages: None

...0ooooo-Horlicks Light Malt-ooooo0 I. INTRO I have written this review, after recently, i just fancied a mug of good old Horlicks: 1. Go to cupboard, get out Horlicks 2. Add precise amount in to prevent over-maltiness. 3. Mix with warm milk (involves warming up milk) 4. Add water. A very long process when its late and you just want to go in bed and not wake up for a long time. So after this experience impatient me decided to get some of the newer Horlicks, the type were only adding water is necessary. I now drink it every night before i go to bed, almost like a ritual now, to get more restful sleep, relieve the stresses of the day and just to enjoy the loveley malty goodness. In this op i will show you what the "Food drink of the night" is, what it does, why its better than the "classic" versoin, and tell you just... Read review

Advantages: You can make it nicer.
Disadvantages: but it will not be so light.

...After having a hard week and my body gone into shock mode, I slept most of Saturday as I have a wakeup time of 5.30am. When I woke up on Saturday, I popped into my local Spar and saw a double sachet of Horlicks Light for 57p. I thought this might make me chill for a bit. In supermarkets it is around the 50p mark. The packaging -------------------- Double packet that is made out of foil. The packets are two tone blues and has Horlicks in Capital letters over it. Underneath there is a mug of horlicks and writing saying its the light malted drink. On the back of the packet is nutritional details and ingredients and also customer service details. How do I make it? ----------------------- Put one of the sachets in a cup add a little boiling water and stir like mad for 30 secs to make sure all the powder has dissolved... Read review

Advantages: Tastes wonderful and helps you sleep.
Disadvantages: A little expensive, but worth it.

...As you all know, I am a person who is stressed. This is part of everyday life for me. I have problems, and like so many other Ciao members, come here and air them from time to time, so you know who I am and what makes me tick. I am writing this opinion because I have found a drink that helps me with my stress levels, and lets me sleep. They used to call it the food drink of the night, and I know why. This product is Horlicks Light, and how it compares with Horlicks traditional is that it does not make you feel like you are going to bed with an uncomfortably full stomach. SO WHAT IS HORLICKS LIGHT ? ************************** It is a malt drink that is rich in calcium so very suitable for the older person, as well as the growing person whose needs may not be met by their diet. It is a rich milky drink, in instant form... Read review
