It was popular in the first half of the twentieth century as a nutritional enhancer for the children of the British urban working class, whose diet was often deficient in vitamins and minerals. Malt extract is added to enrich the nutritional content of Milo 3 in 1.

To enjoy Milo 3 in 1 can do as the serving suggestion, that is add warm water of 80°C, should not use hot water more than 80°C because the vitamin inside will be damaged by the heat. The second way that I do is enter the Milo 3 in 1 into a glass. Add 20ml water. Then stir with a spoon. This chocolate solubility in water is a bit slow so it takes Approximately 5 minutes to stir. Then insert the ice cubes into it. And the Milo 3 in 1 is ready to drink. Due to the melting of the ice cubes, so I can drink and enjoy this chocolate while typing on the computer or while reading. Approximately 1 hour until all the ice cubes melt.

The third way that I do is open a Milo 3 in 1 sachet and then enter all the chocolate powder into a blender. Add 1 cup of ice cubes that have been cut into small pieces into the blender. Then turn on the blender and let it spin for 3 minutes. Then pour into a glass. The chocolate will be bubbly and ready to drink. Because the ice cubes in a blender, then quickly intervening melted. I can only enjoy this cool coffee for Approximately 20 minutes. After that it will melt, not cold anymore. Beside the Milo 3 in 1 and ice cubes, can also add sprinkles, it will improve the taste.

When Milo 3 in 1 in the mouth, it tasted sweet because The composition is dominated by sugar and chocolate. Aftertaste drinking Milo 3 in 1 is I felt the sweet taste and a little bitter left in the mouth, the throat feels dry, and thus more willing to drink water. But this does not last long, just 3 minutes.

Drinks chocolate has health benefits for the body because it contains antioxidant called flavonoids. The flavonoids can increase the production of insulin, which is very useful for people with diabetes, contributed to dilate blood vessels so that by consuming chocolate can help improve blood circulation, reduce the risk of heart attack. This is related to clotting platelets in the blood is slower in people who eat chocolate than in those who did not. This is important because when experiencing clotting platelets can form and block blood clots in the vessels of this which then can lead to heart attacks.

In addition to the benefits above, other benefits: lower cholesterol, anti-depressants or depression, low fat content, avoid chronic fatigue, retard aging, improve eye health, reduce the risk of cancer, it can soften the skin, helping us to lose weight, and very good for a health brain. Benefits of the above can be obtained by eating chocolate in moderation every day.  Chocolate and chocolate products should be consumed two times a week to get the benefits of chocolate.
