I'm 17 weeks pregnant and craving a Horlicks, does anyone know if this is safe in pregnancy? x

What does the NHS website say…

Why wouldn’t it be?

It would almost certainly have a warning on the packet. So no. Not sure why it would be.

Just looked up the ingredients and it looks fine. Is there any ingredient you were worried about?

Just google it ?

It's mostly just sugar and malt isn't it?

@MrsPoliportsGoose LOTSSSSSS of sugar!

If you're worried about the amount of sugar in Horlicks, try this:
1 mug milk or plant milk warmed in microwave
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon malted barley
If you fancy making it really sumptuous, add a bit of single cream.
