Modern people are paying more and more attention to the nutritional content of breakfast, but relatively neglect the importance of breakfast drinks. Dr. Liu Yili, known as the "Beautiful Dietitian," believes that choosing the wrong breakfast drink not only fails to provide the body with the nutrients it needs for the day, but may even burden the body!

Zhang Yin-chang, Executive Vice President of Allied Brewery & Soft Drinks Co., Ltd., the Taiwan general agent for Ovaltine, said: "According to statistics, most office workers choose the wrong breakfast drinks, and as many as 60% of parents choose the wrong breakfast drinks for their children. To raise public awareness of the importance of breakfast beverages, Ovaltine has partnered with Red Orange Bakery to elevate modern people's nutritious breakfasts to perfect ones."

Dr. Liu Yili pointed out that while modern people often demand that breakfast be healthy and nutritious, they tend to casually choose their breakfast drinks—sometimes even pairing it with carbonated beverages—which can actually reduce the nutritional value of the meal and may even burden the body. Choosing a breakfast drink rich in Vitamin B complex, essential amino acids, and dietary fiber is what’s needed to meet the energy demands of the day.

To meet the essential daily nutritional needs of different groups, dietitian Liu Yili has also designed three energizing breakfast options tailored for children, growing teenagers, and office workers. For children, the "Ovaltine + Hokkaido Milk Toast with Grilled Pork Loin Chop" set provides not only protein and carbohydrates, but also the essential mineral for growth—calcium—and essential amino acids. The "Ovaltine + Grilled Combo Hokkaido Milk Toast" set is rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals from golden barley, all of which are vital nutrients for growing teenagers. Additionally, for hardworking office workers, Liu Yili recommends the "Ovaltine + Grilled Tuna Egg Hokkaido Milk Toast" combo, which contains Vitamin B complex and dietary fiber to help sedentary office workers prevent hypertension, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol.
