New plant-based milk alternative for toddlers from SMA Nutrition

The Nestlé brand, SMA Nutrition, is bringing a new plant-based drink, LITTLE STEPS PLANTYGROW Plant-based Growing Up Drink, that is nutritionally designed for toddlers from one to three years of age as part of a varied and balanced diet.  

This plant-based milk alternative is for parents looking to diversify their toddler's diet. It can be mixed into a toddler's favorite breakfast, added to smoothies and shakes or just as a drink in a cup.

It has no added sugars (although it does contain naturally occurring sugars), is a good source of vitamins A, C, B2, B12 and iron and has been enriched with iodine and Omega 3 and 6. The drink also contains calcium and vitamin D which are needed for normal growth and bone development in children.

"Consumers are increasingly choosing plant-based milk alternatives for themselves and looking for options that contain the added nutrients their growing toddlers need," commented Vicky Woods, SMA Nutrition Managing Director. "We know that every day toddlers are growing, learning, doing something new and overcoming little challenges. We want to help support toddlers' development, as part of varied and balanced diet."

LITTLE STEPS PLANTYGROW Plant-based Growing Up Drink comes as a ready-to-drink liquid with no preparation required - consumers just shake it. It is available in convenient on-the-go 200ml or one-liter resealable cartons that are easy to pour and can be kept in the fridge (5°C or below) after opening for up to 24 hours for 200ml and 48 hours for one liter.
