Is Milo healthy for you?

Hi guys and welcome back to another blog. Today I am going to be showing you how much sugar, grams, ingredients etc. I have been learning about this for just a period and am going to show you if you are eating healthy or not.

So you all know what the milo tin look like right. Well, have you ever decided to look at what you are putting into your mouth?
Probably not so I am going to show you.
Here is a photo of a milo tin.

How much sugar is in milo?
There are 9.2 grams of sugar in your milo. That's some crazy stuff. I never knew how much sugar was in milo. If I did know maybe I wouldn't put as many taps in it anymore as I used to.

How many tsps are you putting in?
Apparently, you are meant to put in x3 tsps of milo into your cup/200ml cup. This tin is only 200g. It's the small tin if you were wondering.

The ingredients 
If you never knew what order the ingredients go in I am here to tell you. The thing with the most in it goes first. Such as the milo. The first ingredients that have the most would go first which is an extract of malt barley. The second thing is Milk solids, The third thing is sugar cocoa and then vegetable oil.
As you could see that there was more of the extract of malt barley then sugar.
The serving size is 20g and the servings per pack are 10.

I would recommend maybe lowering how much milo you are having or just not put as much tsps as you normally would.

  1. Hi Bailey. I enjoyed reading your blog post. I wouldn't have guessed that the first ingredient would be malt barley- I thought it would be sugar! Have you checked any off the food packages you eat since this lesson?
