Is there a vegan alternative to Ovaltine?

Question

I'm looking for something that shares Ovaltine's texture and taste, but that's vegan -- milk is the only bit that makes it not vegan, it looks like.
Given the texture and the taste are two really important bits, I'm not looking for something like just mixing "cocoa, hot water and soy milk."
Does anyone know of any alternative that's appropriate?

Apparently Horlicks has launched a vegan version in Asda.

I did a bit more research, and found a few "homemade Ovaltine" recipes, such as this one — none of which are vegan. That being said, they all appear to have the same basic ingredients:

Barley malt powder
Milk powder
Cocoa powder (if we're going for a chocolate-y version, which is what I'm looking for)

So if I replace the milk powder with a powdered milk substitute — like soy milk powder — I should be good to go! :fingers_crossed:
Note that I haven't actually tried this yet, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to match Ovaltine's flavor and texture... but I'll update this answer once I give it a try :)
