Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores poorly due to its very high sugar content (11.5g per serving), which constitutes a significant portion of the daily recommended intake. While fortified with some vitamins and minerals, the high sugar level in a single-serving beverage makes it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption, especially for children.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Milo Banana Power Smoothie
Blend one can of chilled Milo with one ripe banana and a handful of ice cubes until smooth. For extra protein and creaminess, add a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt. Serve immediately.
Health Benefits
This smoothie adds fiber and potassium from the banana, creating a more balanced and filling beverage compared to drinking Milo alone.
Creamy Milo Oats
Prepare 1/2 cup of rolled oats with water or milk as usual. Once cooked, stir in half a can (120ml) of Milo to add flavor. Top with a sprinkle of almonds and chia seeds for healthy fats and fiber.
Health Benefits
Incorporates Milo into a high-fiber breakfast, promoting sustained energy release and reducing the overall sugar impact of the meal.
Additive Analysis
The product contains permitted food conditioners (stabilizer, emulsifier like Soya Lecithin) and flavoring (Vanillin), which are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) under FSSAI standards. The overall risk from additives is low.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Energy to Go Further' is questionable. While the product provides energy from sugar, marketing it as a performance or health drink is misleading given the very high sugar content. This creates a deceptive 'health halo' around a sugary beverage, which is not ideal for promoting healthy dietary habits.
