Description

Fresco Nutrition’s “Family Milk Drink” is a fortified goat milk powder drink, suitable for children aged 3 years plus up to elderly. So here it is, NZ’s first and only fortified goat milk drink, a delicious and healthy treat for the whole family.

Our Family Milk Drink makes a great base for fruit smoothies, milkshakes or any milk-based drink that cow milk would normally be used for. 

Family Milk Drink is made with goat whole milk, and fortified with FOS (Fructo-Oligosaccharides for fibre), maltodextrin for extra energy, fish oil (for Omega 3 fatty acids) and Vitamin D.

With its mild creamy taste, Family Milk Drink appeals to all age groups. Children will drink it happily, which is important when they are around the age of 3 and becoming more discriminating in their tastes.

Fructo-Oligosaccharides (FOS) 

Goat milk is packed with nutrients, but as with all kinds of milk, it contains no dietary fibre. 

So to make goat milk even better, we have added FOS (Fructo-Oligosaccharides), which is a dietary fibre extracted from fruit and vegetables. It is a prebiotic that has been shown to improve calcium absorption, promote growth of beneficial bacteria in the large intestine and improve overall gastrointestinal health.

Having trouble getting your little ones to eat their green vegetables? 

Each serve of Family Milk Drink contains 3.8g of dietary fibre, equivalent to the fibre of almost 2 cups of raw broccoli! The added fibre in our Family Milk Drink will help promote healthy bowel function.

Calcium 

Most people know that calcium is a mineral essential to healthy bone growth, and the maintenance of bone density. The addition of FOS, along with goat milk’s naturally high calcium, is a powerful way to boost calcium uptake. 

FOS has been proven to increase calcium absorption in the human gut.

Vitamin D 

The main function of vitamin D is to regulate the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in our bones and aid in cell-to-cell communication throughout the body. It also plays a part in boosting the immune system.

Frequent exposure of the skin to sunlight promotes sufficient vitamin D synthesis without the need for supplements. However, people who have darker skin pigmentation or frequently wear sun protection during outdoor activities are often vitamin D deficient.

We know people prefer to keep out of the sun prefer to avoid darkening and damaging their skin. 

But this means you could be missing out on an important source of Vitamin D.

Each serve of Family Milk Drink contains 50% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D, so there’s no need to get sunburn to get your dose…

Fish Oil 

Fish oil is a natural source of Omega 3 EPA / DHA fatty acids. 

Omega-3 fatty acids are thought to provide a wide range of health benefits, and the benefits appear to apply to every age group, from babies right through to elderly people.

For young children and infants, studies have shown benefits for cognitive development.  Some studies show that infants fed formulas enriched with the omega-3 fatty acid DHA show improvements in hand-eye coordination, attention span, social skills, and intelligence test scores. Studies have shown that children born to mothers who took supplements of omega-3s (DHA and EPA) during pregnancy and the during the first months of breastfeeding scored higher on cognitive tests at 4 years of age compared to children whose mothers did not take supplements of DHA and EPA.

Maltodextrin 

Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate that has been added to increase energy level, which is important for people who may require more energy.  This includes growing children, the elderly, and or anyone who may be recovering from illness or whose diet is reduced.

Instructions for Use 

5 scoops (approximately 37.5g) in 220ml water makes one serve of 250ml made up milk drink. Take 1-2 serves per day.
