🍫 NESTLE MILO ENERGY FOOD DRINK (880G)
The 880\text{g} size is a bulk purchase designed for families to ensure a steady supply, offering better value than smaller packets. Note that in the Nigerian market, this size is often sold as 800\text{g} or sometimes 880\text{g} (which sometimes includes a bonus), but the bulk value proposition remains the same.
Key Features and Ingredients
Milo is essentially a blend of malt extract, cocoa, and milk solids, fortified with essential vitamins and minerals.
Protomalt Formula: Nigerian Milo often features a unique Protomalt extract (derived from malted barley and sometimes sorghum), which provides complex carbohydrates for sustained energy release.
Key Ingredients: Malt Extract, Milk Solids, Sugar, Cocoa Powder, and Vegetable Oil.
Fortification (Activ-Go): Milo is fortified with essential micronutrients that contribute to energy release and health:
Vitamins: B-Vitamins (B2, B3, B6, B12) for energy metabolism, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.
Minerals: Calcium (for strong bones and teeth) and Iron (for oxygen transport).
Taste and Use: It has a distinctive malty-chocolate flavour and can be enjoyed hot or cold, mixed with water or milk.
Nutritional Value
