Ovaltine

Chocolate malt beverage mix

Ovaltine is a brand of powdered drink mix made from malt extract, sugar, and cocoa, typically stirred into milk.

Originally marketed as a nutritional supplement, it became associated with childhood and bedtime routines: Mom made me Ovaltine before bed.

The name blends "ovum" (egg, once an ingredient) and "malt."
