Milo (/ˈmaɪloʊ/ MY-loh; stylised in all caps as MILO) is an Australian chocolate-flavoured malted powder product produced by Nestlé, typically mixed with milk, hot water, or both, to produce a beverage. It was originally developed in Australia by Thomas Mayne (1901–1995) in 1934.
Most commonly sold as a powder in a green can, often depicting various sporting activities like badminton or football, Milo is available as a premixed beverage in some countries and has been subsequently developed into Milo (chocolate bar), breakfast cereal and protein granola. Its composition and taste differ from country to country.
