How Many Calories in Horlicks Ais?

Iced malted Horlicks drink with condensed milk, around 230 calories.

230kcal / 1 glass

A glass of Horlicks ais is roughly 230 calories. The Horlicks malt powder is already sweet and carries calories on its own, then the kopitiam adds condensed milk on top. So like Milo, the powder plus condensed milk combo is what makes it a heavier drink than people expect.

The real talk

Horlicks ais tastes like malted childhood, that creamy biscuit kind of flavour. People order it thinking it is a wholesome malt drink, like something good for you. The powder is malt and sugar, and at the kopitiam they sweeten it further with condensed milk.

That combo lands it around 230 calories, right up there with Milo ais. It is not evil, you do get a bit of protein from the malt and milk, around 6 grams. But it is a sweet treat drink, not a health tonic. Ask for less condensed milk if you want to enjoy it more often.
