Advantages: you almost can't tell the difference between this and regular horlics!

Disadvantages: Haven't noticed it aiding much of my sleep!!

I'm sitting here sipping the product as I type so excuse the blow by blow account of it!
Lol

First of all, having just reviewed the skinny cow drink and having hated it! I'm now sipping this drink and really enjoying it!!

The packaging - it is attractive, an individual sachet (32g) again which I really like (especially for those on weight watchers like myself, helps you keep in control of the portion sixes - the only snag is that it is 2 points so a bit more than what you might like to blow on just a drink but I do think it's worth it! Go for a walk around the block before sipping it!) The blue smiley dreamy moon is of course enticing!!

Just tip the contents into a mug and add water - now I like my drinks very sweet so I didn't use the usual docker mugs I use for tea, but a smallish cup - like a medium coffee cup you get in Costa coffee. It dissolves well and it doesn't leave a thick layer of liquid horlics at the bottom of the mug, which I always find annoying! So stir well and you don't get that.

It is still creamy - especially once you've just stirred it, it has that sort of frothy top to it which is very enticing! I think as a low fat drink, it tasted great. True horlics fans will probably find that it isn't as creamy and as thick as a regular mug of horlics but as its light, I guess that's the compromise. I think it's still very sweet and does taste malty, although this isn't as over powering and prominent as you get in regular horlics. I really don't think there is a huge difference between this and regular full fat horlics. It didn't leave an aftertaste in my mouth like some low calorie drinks can, the only think I have noticed is that I do feel thirsty after drinking a mug.

The sleeping side of it - I can't really comment on, but I do feel relaxed for drinking a mug of this and in a better frame of mind to fall asleep rather than it being sleep inducing. In short, it's a great drink, very warming, sweet, surprisingly thick in consistency despite being made of water and it is satisfying!!!

Summary: Great low fat malt drink
