Ovaltine Chocolate Drink Mix, Rich Chocolate, 12-Ounce Container (Pack of 4)

Ovaltine has updated their packaging and changed their formula. The new formula is very similar to Nesquik. It no longer dissolves in the milk and stays dissolved, but settles on the bottom of the glass. This was the main reason I bought Ovaltine over Nesquik; it dissolved and stayed dissolved. The new formula is a real disappointment.

What a disappointment it was to try the new Nestletized "Malt Classic Ovaltine." Gone are the granules instead, it's now a fine powder. The taste has changed too. It's not really awful still drinkable, but it's definitely not in the same league as the original that I grew up on. In my estimation, they ruined an excellent product and disappointed a loyal customer base.

I, too, noticed a change in the Ovaltine with the new packaging. It is extremely disappointing. The flavor seems a little different and the texture is definitely different. I'm not sure why they changed something that didn't need changing. I am no longer a loyal Ovaltine customer -it doesn't seem much better than Nesquik anymore.

Really simple nestle changed the formula of Ovaltine to make it cheaper to produce, and the result is a powder that has 1/4 the vitamins and half the flavor. The marketing spin is that it is somehow healthier because it has less sugar, but that's only because you are putting half the amount in. Alternatives my kids like are carnation instant breakfast which still has all the vitamins and tastes great.

I have purchased Rich, chocolate Ovaltine since my now 15 year old was old enough to drink milk, but wouldn't because of the taste. Doctor said to add chocolate. Since Ovaltine has more vitamins than the others, we started using it. Now I have 4 children all considered under weight and loved that Ovaltine made their milk palatable. My youngest and most underweight refuses to drink milk without it. Bought the new recipe a few weeks ago. Kids opened it up and the smell was horrendous! I thought it went bad. The taste was not the same either (sort of like egg nog that's gone bad). Then I noticed the "New Improved recipe". Who's the marketing genius behind this one. Yes I see less calories, sugar and sodium in the new recipe, but if I was worried about that I wouldn't be adding chocolate to my milk in the first place! PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD RECIPE. My underweight children need it!!
