Not bad

Few people like milk as it is. Its raw taste doesn’t suit everyone esp. kids. Just add flavour and see the magic. Full to empty glass in no time else they will just make faces. Kid’s apart, flavoured milk is loved by everyone. Adding flavour to milk is like adding charm to a person.

The market is full of flavours. There are just flavours and then flavours with extras. Say to have the chocolate flavour or coffee flavour, just add cocoa or coffee powder to milk. Then there come these flavours with extras.
Like Complan, Bournvita, Horlicks, Boost etc. Of these, the favs at my home are Complan, Bournvita and Horlicks in order. Each come with their own pros and cons.

Here I will talk about Complan or say complete planned food as promoted by the company. There’s not much to talk about the nutritional value as every such drink boasts about some or the other, but the real benefit comes from real food, fresh fruits, vegetables etc.

PROS
•••••••
1. Unique chocolate flavour as opposed to the traditional chocolate flavour.
2. The powder is not sticky and dissolves easily, even in cold milk.
3. It’s grainy as opposed to powdery and at times you would love to eat it as it is.
4. Claimed nutritional benefits can act as a supplement to natural sources.

••••••••
CONS
••••••••
Only con is the cost of Complan which is a bit on the higher side compared to any other drink.

BANANA SHAKE WITH COMPLAN
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It’s a popular variation at our place and tastes really good.

Things needed: 2 ripe bananas, 250ml cold milk plus cream, 2-3 tbsp. Complan
Just combine Bananas, cream and Complan. Mash it well.
Then add milk and mix it well. Or you may use a mixer if you want a smooth shake.

▶ It can be easily be accompanied by triangle parathas.

▶ Make sure to keep milk (with cream layer on top) in the fridge for a few hours for the cream layer to become thick and creamier.

FINAL VERDICT
•••••••••••••••••••
▶ It’s all about acquiring the taste of this drink. Once you try Complan and if it suits your taste buds, there’s no turning back.

It’s been there on my shelves for more than a decade and none was able to replace it completely. Yes, you will also find Horlicks and Bournvita, but they are just there as alternatives. Other variants to try, plain, Kesar badam etc.

So, if you don’t mind the cost and want a powder which dissolves easily and has unique chocolate flavour give it a shot. You will simply love it.

▶ If on more of the chocolaty side, Bournvita by Cadbury is another choice which is comparatively cheaper. Be it cold or warm milk, it suits both and tastes equally good. Other variants 5star, women, gold, lil champs etc.

▶ Then comes Horlicks which also has a chocolate version and it tastes good and comes in the same price range of Bournvita. The only problem is that it doesn’t love cold milk at all. Even with warm milk, it sticks everywhere and lumps are formed which won’t dissolve easily if not prevented initially. Other flavours chocolate, women’s, protein etc.

PLEASE NOTE

Don’t ever consider these drinks as a replacement for real fruits and vegetables going by brands ads and product covers. Fulfil your nutritional requirements by consuming the fresh and natural source of those. They can never ever replace the goodness of fresh fruits and vegetables.
