Ovaltine is a malted drink mix that is often combined with milk or water. Originally developed in Switzerland in the late 19th century, it was designed as a nutritional supplement for children. The drink is known for its rich, chocolatey flavor and is fortified with vitamins and minerals, making it a popular choice for families. Over the years, Ovaltine has expanded its product line to include various flavors and formulations, catering to different dietary needs. It is commonly enjoyed as a warm beverage, especially during colder months, and is also used in recipes for desserts and smoothies.
