First things first, it’s pronounced as mai-lou, not mee-lo. I don’t know if it’s just me but it drives me crazy each time I hear someone pronounce my favourite drink in the entire universe wrongly.

Determined to assemble the best collection of milo recipes on the planet, we scoured the Internet and found 20 milo recipes that will forever change how you look at this drink. It’s not limited to just “hot or cold!”I feel so motivated now to enter the kitchen and create these Milo treats just so I could devour them. That’s a feat considering how lazy I am because I thrive on cereal and microwaveable-anything.

‘Nuff said, and happy scrolling through this list. Bet you’ll be a convert even if you’re not entirely crazy about Milo. Be sure to check out the original creators of the recipes too in the links below.

Store-bought marshmallows are just too mainstream. And boring. It’s so cool to know that you can make marshmallows from the comfort of your own home.

Ingredients:

  • Liquid glucose (or light corn syrup)

6. Milo Brownies

Chocolate brownies bore me – they are almost the same everywhere. It pays more to bake your own Milo brownies because your taste buds will thank you for letting them experience a more complex set of flavours from the marriage of cocoa and Milo in your recipe.

Ingredients:

  • Milo powder
  • Eggs
  • Sugar

I’ve tried this before the even lazier way with instant oats for a super quick meal at home. This may look like baby food but it’s not that disgusting taste-wise.
