Miller, you have yourself a very fine drink here! Super easy to prepare and for my first time experience using malt (Horlicks) I was pleased with the outcome. The only thing I would emphasize as you did was that the milk be ICE COLD! I think that this is very important to the success of the recipe. I would almost go as far as to suggest semi-freezing the milk to a "slush" state to insure that cold frothy refreshing quench of thirst. Once again Miller, a very tasty drink, I'm submitting a photo in gratitude.

OMG Miller, this is DYNAMITE!! I had all the ingredients on hand and just made me a batch of this. I already drank one glass and right now I am on the second glass. This has me licking my lips for more. Great taste and very flavorful too.

After childhood, only today I've had 'Ovaltine' and slipped back into those wonderful days I enjoyed as a kid. Thank You to U for this recipe. It was really nice, and like has been said, the milk really got to be 'ice cold' for this smoothie. I could have just 1 glass of this as it was really filling but really yummy all the same. I think its good for a quick lunch on its own for college students or those who can't spend hours in front of the gas stove. This was great! Thank U!

Thanks for posting this one.... I agree too that the milk must be icy cold, and next time will do as Charlene suggested & semi freeze the milk first. I made two batches, one with non fat milk & one with lite soy milk, and used a little less brown sugar, (personal taste) and both were great. Cheers, JenT

This was absolutely yummy - a real breakfast treat. I cut the malted milk powder to about 2 tbsp and added a couple more icecubes. This gave it a more mild flavor, which was more to my liking. I ended up having this for breakfast every day last week, and it kept me full till lunch! Oh, and the riper the banana, the better the flavor.

With thanks to Chef Miller for sending me a jar of Horlicks, I'm now in a position to add my positive comments here. What a terrific drink! I have made this a few times now, and must emphasize the need for cold ingredients. In fact, I have found that using a frozen banana (the riper, the better), cut in chunks, makes this drink absolutely perfect! I also have stuck my blender container in the fridge, in an effort to keep the ingredients cold while I made the drink. Other than freezing the banana, I made no changes to this recipe — which is both fast and easy to prepare. I use 1% milk in this, which drastically alters the nutritional info showing for this recipe (which must be based on fullfat milk, I'm guessing).

MMMM Yum this is a good recipe! My husband and I have made this smoothie every day now, for about the last two weeks, we even ran out and bought a new blender especially for this smoothie, because our blender of 25 years went on the blink. The only modifications of the recipe that we have made are that we freeze the banana after we chop it into managable pieces, plus we use vanilla soy milk. To make it extra nutritious we add 2 TBSP. of Flax seed meal, which really tastes good. This smoothie was very creamy and refreshing, also extremely easy to make, and the vanilla and malted milk powder really compliment the banana flavor. I recommend freezing the banana, and as mentioned on some of the other reviews, make sure your milk is very cold. Really enjoyed this. Thank you for the recipe!

I love ovaltine and this is a great smoothie. DS and DD drank it down! It was a wonderful desert after a wonderful dinner of Italian Chicken in a Skillet. Thanks!

I used ice cold 1% milk, Ovaltine & 2 scoops of frozen banana yoghurt (no ice). This smoothie received a two thumbs up from my grandson & his buddy! Thanx for posting Miller.
