This MILO product review is perfect for Mums looking to meet the daily nutritional needs of their children.

Because we all know there is nothing worse than a child who lacks the energy needed to get them through their day.

But sometimes finding nutritious, energy boosting drinks that your kids will love can be a bit of a struggle. Which is why, in the MILO product review, we asked MoM Members from all over Australia and their kids to put MILO to the ultimate test.

See what Victoria and her children thought of MILO® after participating in the MoM MILO® product review …

 

Details of the MILO Product Review

As part of the MILO product review, we had Mums look for a tin of MILO at the supermarket.  We then asked them to use it everyday with their children as a supplement to their busy schooling and sporting lives.  The results speak for themselves!  See below for their thoughts, reviews and star ratings.

MILO is a nutrient rich, low GI malt powder drink, which gives kids who need a boost, the nourishing energy they need to take on the day.

As Mum we are all aware that milk is an essential part of our children’s diet. You may be surprised to learn that MILO adds even more nutrients to milk. In fact, MILO adds 32% more protein, 70% more calcium, plus more iron (30% RDI) and more vitamin D (32% RDI). MILO is also low GI to provide sustained energy for active kids. How good is that?

PLUS MILO is made with four simple main ingredients – malt barley, milk powder, sugar and cocoa plus 8 vitamins and minerals (calcium, iron, vitamin B2, B3, B6, B12, C and D). The unique combination of ingredients gives MILO the delicious choc malt taste and crunch that kids love.

Whether you’re powering up for training for a big game or you’ve just done your best and need a nutritious boost … MILO puts a smile on your face and a spring in your step!

How do you drink your Milo?

MILO is a great way to encourage children to drink milk and meet daily nutrient needs such as calcium and iron. Simply add 3 level teaspoons of MILO to 200ml milk and stir until combined for a delicious, nourishing drink. Serve hot or cold.

Where can I buy MILO?

MILO is available in 200gm, 450gm, 750gm, 1kg, 1.1 kg tins from Coles, Woolworths, IGA and Big W. For more information visit MILO.

  • I have been a lover of Milo my whole life and now my children love it too. It can be a hot or cold drink, made with water or milk. It is a delicious low GI malt powder drink that constrains 8 essential vitamins and minerals. I personally love to sprinkle a bit of Milo over my ice-cream to make a yummy chocolate treat. I have even had Milo sprinkled on hot buttered toast as an alternative to chocolate spread.

  • Milo makes for a tasty treat, served with either warm or cold milk. I like that it includes some essential vitamins and minerals however still only serve sparingly as part of a balanced diet. It is quick and easy to make and good to keep on hand in the pantry. Would buy again and recommend.

  • Milo is a household staple for us. With 2 children aged 9 & 12 and living in a cold climate nothing beats a hot chocolate on a cold day to warm us all up after braving the weather outside for some exercise. It gives us all a boost to keep going for the remainder of the day. And secretly it’s a winner on ice cream or in a smoothie in the warmer months.

  • My kids are always on the run, so making a milo with fresh creamy milk boosts their calcium and gives them a good intake of their daily vitamins, great to have after school. They love it chilled in summer, and in winter i make it warm. My little one is a fussy eater so i know he’s getting a boost drinking Milo

  • Milo has been a favourite of mine since I was young. My family enjoys drinking milo with either hot or cold milk. It’s so versatile as I use it in my dessert recipes or just sprinkled on the kids vanilla ice cream. I love how it has only four ingredients and 8 vitamins and minerals. I know that I am giving my kids a great start in life.

  • My son starts every single day with porridge with Milo on top. It gives him the energy to tackle all of his sports, from swimming, gymnastics, soccer and just generally being an active 10 year old boy. When we first went into self isolation, he ran into the pantry to make sure he had enough to get him through the winter. I can’t keep up with him.

  • Milo is a product we’re always stocked up on in our house! It’s perfect at any time of day, whether it be first thing in the morning or right before bed! Perfect little treat for the kids and it makes them feel like they fit in with us adults (who are drinking coffee) and to top it off adding mini marshmallows what’s more perfect than milo?

  • My whole familys love milo. Bit of debate weither or not hot or cold is better but on its on my weekly shopping list. My partner has it on his ice cream, i love it hot and kids love it cold. I dont really like all the sugar and do find myself buying the 30% less sugar one occasionally.

  • Milo is a must have in the drinks section of our pantry. Milo has always been a childhood favourite of mine and now my children love the taste of Milo too.

  • This morning it was an early start as I went around to a local garage sale …what better way to warm up than with a delicious steamy hot MILO. It woke me up, recharged my body and had me firing on all cylinders. This will be my last review for MILO and I want to thank MOM and Nestle Milo for the wonderful gift card, but most importantly the chance to voice my opinion of this amazing, delicious and highly nutritious beverage powder. Nestle Milo is a true and very trusted product in our home and will continue to be. Thank you again Mom and Nestle it has been my absolute pleasure to use and spread the word just what a marvellous product MILO is. “Gotta be made of MIlo” we are. 🙂

  • Milo was one of my childhood treats. I love it in warm milk and my kids do too. Even better is eating it straight out of the tin!! (But I haven’t shared that naughty habit with my kids!)
    MILO is incredibly versatile and surprisingly nutritious.
    Mum used to sprinkle it on ice-cream sometimes or we’d add it to rice bubbles to make our own version of Cocoa Puffs

  • My family loved Milo went down like a treat 1 table spoon was enough to give my daughter her intake of iron
    It’s a big hit with my daughter and her dad sitting together at night and they have their Milo at night they even like it on ice cream unfortunately I’m not a big a fan of chocolate apart from me. Or being able to have it at the moment with the pregnancy diabetes I have but I would definitely by this again for my family

  • If I let my 8yr old daughter make her own Milo, it would just be a cup of Milo. I have started looking at recipes and you can make so many things with milo, grom energy balls to ice cream. I do like that it contains vitamins and minerals so I feel good she’s getting a healthy snack. On a side note the big tins are great for me to use in the garden and especially our pond.

  • There is nothing better than having a hot Milo in front of a cosy wood fire to beat the winter chill. My kids start there very busy day with a hot or cold milo it gives them lasting energy through our the day. I also love the milo drink packs for on the run kids who need that lasting energy

  • We are continuing to love Milo and particularly on the Colder nights we have milo with hot milk instead of a cold Milo. We find Milo taste great and very versatile.

  • Today at lunch time the sun shone so I took full advantage and enjoyed lunch out side. Being slightly warmer I also enjoyed a cold refreshing glass of Milk with Milo. Stirred in the Milo and made sure there was plenty of extra Milo on top of the milk so I could devour the delicious crunchy texture and taste. Oh sooo nice, felt I could even return twice.

  • Yes Milo as nutrients etc, but the sugar content is also a concern in my house. I am unsure if the “energy” is the good stuff in it or the sugar in it- as sugar has the same affects on my children. Would I use it as a regular snack… no. But do we have it as a treat. Yes!

    How would you rate this product now that you've tried it?


  • My kids LOVE Milo. And so do it. With a good health star rating, it’s got calcium, protein, iron and vitamin D – all integral nutrients for growing kids. Milo helps my kids get their daily calcium needs with their milk, as well as provide long lasting energy throughout the day. As a Mum with kids who are busy with sport, Milo is an excellent drink to help with energy. I love it as well, it tastes amazing and it’s a staple in our house.

  • Growing up and still to this day I have Milo every afternoon as an energy boost. It’s a filling snack and gives you the boost of energy you need to get through the afternoon. For a nutritious drink it tastes delicious. I also enjoy it hot on a cold morning. When my daughter gets a bit older I will definitely introduce her to Milo! Highly recommend this to other mums particularly of active kids as it certainly was my favourite growing up.

  • Today’s Milo feast was Golden Waffles with Milo Creamed Cheese Topping. (Once again the recipe will be posted on the mom site recipe section.) I have to say I am loving all this Milo creativity and sooo is my family. We have loved and enjoyed Milo for ages but have upped the ante thanks to this trial & review. Milo 8 essential vitamins and minerals …It’s marvellous what a difference MILO makes!
    MILO CREAMED CHEESE TOPPING:
    250g creamed cheese
    1/2 jar Marshmallow Fluff
    2 heaped tablespoons Milo
    In a bowl beat creamed cheese with Milo (for a smooth consistency mix a tiny amount of milk or warm water to the Milo) or for the crunchy texture leave milo as is. Once well beat fold in the Marshmallow Fluff.

  • I’ve never thought of Milo as a go to drink or snack in the Winter, but now I find myself making one for the kids and I after a day at school this Winter.
    It’s easily done in the microwave, even the older kids can manage it. It’s also great in a flask at sport on the side lines. It is sweet, but an active kid will burn it off.

  • We hadn’t purchased milo in a while in our house but since reviewing the product it will now be a staple in our house. The kids absolutely loved it and I loved experimenting with it. We had hot Milos, cold Milos, milo milkshakes, had it on ice cream, in muffins and made a cake with it. The possibilities are endless and I loved that it was nutritious!

  • This beautiful sunny afternoon calls for some pastry. Since we have been loving our Milo for the past couple of weeks I thought I’d give Milo a try by baking with it. What can I say a win again the pastry was beautiful not sickly sweet at all- just perfect and very filling as well. Milo Twist ????
