Nestle Munch Bunch Mega Drinky
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Strawberry flavoured low fat drinking yoghurt

e720g (4 x 180g)
(Pack of four 180g bottles). One bottle equals two servings.

* Packaging *

These are in a pack of four bottles held together by a cardboard sleeve.

The cardboard sleeve is mainly blue and white, with Nestle in dark blue and white at the top, and then below the words 'munch bunch' in orange and royal blue. Below this written in blue the packaging says 'Great for growing kids', them underneath this in red and white are the words 'Mega Drinky'. There are big juicy red strawberries floating about over the front of the cardboard packaging.

Also stated on the front it says 'Growth formula one bottle = 150ml of milk. As much calcium for growing bones. 1 bottle = 2 servings. Real fruit puree, no artificial colours, no bits'.

Inside the packaging are four 180g plastic bottles. These are white with royal blue screw on lids. There is a paper sleeve around each bottle with the same feature as the cardboard sleeve that holds the four bottles together.

These are strawberry flavour. Unsure of other flavours as these are the only ones I have purchased.

* Why Buy *

I brought these from Sainsbury's in the cold section by the fresh yoghurts. Actually, my son chose them for me! Looking at them, I thought they may make a nice change for his lunch.

They were about £1.09 I think, for four 180g bottles.

* Colour And Thickness *

The colour of the yoghurt inside the bottles is a light pink colour. I'm not entirely sure of the thickness of the yoghurt as I drank one of these in two mouthfuls, but I would say it's a little bit runnier than normal run of the mill yoghurt. (Until it goes over your sofa that is!).

* Smell *

It smelt of milky, yoghurty strawberries. It didn't smell sickly sweet, as I expected from Nestle. Quite a pleasant strawberry smell.

* Taste *

This tasted of a slightly runny yoghurt, but still of a thick consistency. The strawberry taste was pleasant and not too sickly, it wasn't sour either. The yoghurt had a slightly creamy taste, and left a milky strawberry after taste.

I would say that if it was a pure fruit puree as stated on the packet, it was a mega smooth puree. There were no bits.

I do think that if someone had given me any cheap strawberry yoghurt and put it in a bottle, I don't think I would have noticed any difference. It tasted of strawberries.

* Good To Know *

Packaging states: Munch Bunch Mega Drinky is a healthy after school snack with the delicious smooth texture that kids love. The resealable bottle makes it perfect for active kids to enjoy Munch Bunch Mega drinky on the go. (I think they would drink it fairly quickly).

Also on the packaging it says that with real fruit puree and the amount of calcium in a glass of milk (150ml) which is 2 servings, Munch Bunch Mega Drinky is great for growing kids.

It also says that calcium is a nutrient that helps make bones and teeth strong and healthy. Calcium needs are higher in kids and teens as bones are growing fast.

* My Opinion *

Just like any strawberry yoghurt, nothing special. I think this product may be expensive as an after school snack, but maybe nice as a treat. It is also a good way of getting calcium and fruit into a child. Unsure whether I would buy this on a regular basis.

My 6 year old loves this stuff! Unless it's on a BOGOF I do find it's rather expensive to keep buying though. Great review - Kayla xxx
