Horlicks with Semi Skimmed Milk (Horlicks) (1 Serving)

Use a smaller serving of Horlicks and measure the powder rather than adding it freely.

Make it with more semi-skimmed milk and less Horlicks powder to reduce the carbohydrate load per drink.

Choose a lower-sugar or no-added-sugar malted drink alternative, checking the nutrition label for total sugars and carbohydrates.

Have the drink alongside protein or healthy fats, such as a boiled egg, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds.

Avoid having Horlicks on an empty stomach; have it after or with a balanced meal containing vegetables, protein, and fibre-rich foods such as lentils or chickpeas.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after drinking it to help reduce the post-drink rise.
