Nestlé has created a plant-based rendition of its Milo product, offering a dairy alternative option without compromising on taste.

Milo Plant Based is vegan and made from no animal ingredients. It contains vitamins B2, B3 and D, as well as iron and zinc.

Nestlé dairy business manager Anna Stewart said that as more Australians are turning to dairy alternatives, it was time for Milo fans to be able to enjoy the classic taste of Milo.

“Milo Plant Based is created using the same core ingredients as original Milo – malt, barley and cocoa, but we’ve taken out the milk powder, reduced the added sugar, and added plant-based ingredients from soy and oats,” said Stewart.

Milo Plant Based will be available nationwide at Coles from March 16 and at independent supermarkets from April for RRP $6.95.
