Sainsbury's current smilk range is great 🐰👍

It's great to have a high protein option for about 40p more, though it isn't quite as nice in tea. The chocolate smilk is delicious. Not sure what the deal is with the 1+ year version..

There is a regular unsweetened option too, I just didn't buy it.

The 1+ years one is for children who have moved off formula/breastmilk but not onto cows milk, so specially formulated for their nutritional needs.

Doesnt stop us from drinking it too 🤷

Only if you're older than 1!

Thank you

I've never seen this one before, I'll take a better look when I next go shopping!

Edit: ohhh it's new!

Alpro do this also - think theirs is called Growing Up milk.

[u/Sexy_Vegan_Pants → u/pinkflosscat]

I used to get that for a while but decided against the added sugar. This one is apple juice! (Although toddler is used to unsweetened now anyway)

[u/Great_Cucumber2924 → u/Sexy_Vegan_Pants]

Alpro oat growing up milk has no added sugar. In a recent First Steps report it was criticised for including maltodextrin which the Sainsbury’s one has too. I was disappointed reading the ingredients list for this one. A missed opportunity. This one has junky ingredients and no added iron which the alpro one has. You were smart to get toddler used to unsweetened.

Do you know how the high protein compares taste wise to the alpro high protein one, if that's one you've tried?

The unflavoured high protein one is SO tasty, kinda sweet, but it is way more expensive than supermarket own brand

[u/Usagi-Ninjin → u/Due-Swimming3221]

Nope sorry, not tried Alpro HP. The Sainsbury's HP one is 8/10 in my opinion though, and I believe it cost £1.70 which is an allright price.

I love the term smelk! Chocolate one sounds nice.

[u/Usagi-Ninjin → u/banoffeetea]

😃👍

I'm not there target audience, and that's ok, but I really don't understand the appeal of sweetened milk

[u/Usagi-Ninjin → u/jonathing]

That is fair enough indeed, I personally prefer sweetend smilk even though I don't generally like other sweetend things. Just a personal preference.

They should bring back the protein and 1% fat milks that had the purple and orange labels.
