About Milo
Milo is Nestlé's iconic chocolate malt beverage, developed in Australia in 1934 by chemist Thomas Mayne during the Great Depression. Originally called "Nestlé's Tonic Food," it was created to help children get essential nutrients when diets were inadequate. The name honours Milo of Croton, the legendary ancient Greek athlete known for his remarkable strength. What makes Milo unique is its distinctive texture - the crunchy, undissolved bits that float on top of the drink were actually an accidental discovery. Mayne spent four years trying to make the powder dissolve completely, but when he saw his own children scooping the crunchy bits off the top, he realised this "flaw" gave Milo its beloved character. Today, Milo is produced in over 24 factories and sold in more than 40 countries worldwide. The modern ACTIV-GO formula provides essential vitamins and minerals, making it a trusted choice for active families. Available in tins and sachets, Milo can be enjoyed hot or cold.
