Eating well - Homemade supplements videos

A series of short YouTube videos demonstrating how simple it is to make homemade supplement drinks using ICS approved recipes have been created. It’s important to follow the recipes exactly—using the specified products and quantities — to ensure the correct nutritional content. (Substitutes such as other milkshake flavourings, hot drink powders, or fruit juices may lack essential vitamins and minerals.)

  • Fortified Hot Chocolate –  Watch here
  • Fortified Ovaltine or Horlicks –  Watch here
  • Fortified Vegan Milkshake – A plant-based alternative –  Watch here
