Milk Unleashed helps moms get their kids to drink more milk –anytime –anywhere!
Just because busy families are often on the go, they don’t have to sacrifice nutrition. Thanks to Tetra Pak cartons, milk has officially been unleashed! Milk is packaged in the same shelf safe cartons as juice boxes and not requiring refrigeration until they are unopened. Moms can take milk to the beach, the park, sporting events and picnics – anytime, anywhere. It is the same nutrient-rich Grade fluid milk – but packaged for convenience.
How is this possible? The milk is flash-heated at higher temperatures (ultra-pasteurization) to eliminate bacteria and then put into Tetra Pak shelf safe cartons, which protect the milk from air, tight, and other contaminants. Shelf safe milk stays on the shelf without preservatives until it is ready to chill and drink.
Here are a few tips from Milk Unleashed website for getting kids to drink more milk:
- Stock the refrigerator (and pantry) with flavored and white milk in single serving cartons for a healthy snack on the go.
- Put in the kids’ lunchboxes. If it’s there they will be more likely to drink it.
- Try offering flavored milk. It has the same nutrients and only a little added sugar.
- Appeal to their eyes by adding a drop of food coloring to make milk fun!
- Be a role model. Kids will be more likely to want milk if they see you drinking it.
The Milk Unleashed website is packed with information for moms on the go, ideas for increasing milk in their families’ diets, nutritional facts about milk, plus promotions, contests and information about the various brands of shelf safe milk and where to buy.
Tetra Pak’s shelf safe milk boxes enable milk to retain its quality without refrigeration for several months. Families can purchase large quantities and store it safely in their pantry until they are ready to chill before opening, if they choose. For more information visit www.milkunleashed.com
Our Review:
We LOVE milk in our house we go through 3 sometimes 4 gallons a week! I was excited to try the options from Milk Unleashed in the Tetra Pak containers. The containers are a very nice size (larger than a normal juice box). We received various brands and flavors from milk unleashed. We received Organic Valley Farms White and chocolate milk, Hershey’s chocolate and white chocolate milk, TruMoo vanilla and chocolate milk, and Cow Wow Chocolate milk. All of the brands and flavors were a hit… except I have to say the children did not like the Organic Valley farms regular milk, they did not mind the chocolate flavored milk but honestly hated the regular milk. I tasted the Organic Valley milk and it did have a differently flavor to it… not sure if this was because it is organic or because of the pasteurization but it did taste different. But that was the only one that was not a hit.
The milk was so popular that the kids drank it down before I got to take a nifty picture for the blog of all the flavors and packaging that we received (sorry!) but here are some stock photos of the packaging…
I LOVE the idea of safe shelf milk… this is a great alternative to juice boxes. We do not do juice boxes often, we opt for water bottles instead…BUT now we have an even better option with the new Tetra Packaging of milk!
We also visited milkunleashed.com for more information about the available products and information about shelf safe milk. There is a wealth of information on the website so PLEASE if take some time to peruse the website it will certainly be informative!
I packed shelf stable milk for my kids in their lunches all the time, but I think my son would have liked these larger sizes. I always had to give him two!
This is great since my kids always pack their lunch!
Our daughter likes to have some shelf safe Chocolate Almond Milk around. We’ll probably stock up and send it along with her to University next year!
These seem good to have on hand in case you run out and need it or to take on the go!
I have never tried shelf safe milk. It would be good for lunches.
Shelf safe milk is a staple in our house. It makes a great lunchbox addition!
Keep ‘em in my pantry… never know when power will be off. I pack them in my son’s lunch, too.
