The popular Nestlé Milo malt beverage powder has now been announced by the brand in a plant-based option to help offer consumers a dairy-free alternative to pick up. The plant-based Milo powders are the same as the original, but are formulated with soy and oats instead of milk powder. The product is also reported to contain less sugar than the original along with the familiar combination of vitamins and minerals to help support energy release.
The new plant-based Nestlé Milo was addressed by Head of the Dairy Unit at Nestlé Trevor Clayton who said, "People are looking to vary their diets with more plant-based options, including to lower their environmental footprint and for health reasons. We already have some great plant-based products and are now adding one of our biggest global brands with Milo. We’re continuing to make good on our promise to offer consumers food that is right for them and right for the planet."
