Nestlé has introduced a new plant-based drink for toddlers, Little Steps Plantygrow Plant-based Growing Up Drink, under its SMA Nutrition range.
The company emphasises that the drink is not a breast milk substitute, but rather a nutritional product designed to be enjoyed by toddlers from 1-3 years of age as part of a varied and balanced diet. The milk alternative can be enjoyed as a drink, or added to smoothies and shakes.
According to Nestlé, its new Growing Up Drink is a good source of vitamins A, C, B2 and B12, as well as iron, and has been enriched with iodine and omega-3 and omega-6. The drink also contains calcium and vitamin D.
Vicky Woods, SMA Nutrition managing director, said: “Consumers are increasingly choosing plant[1]based milk alternatives for themselves and looking for options that contain the added nutrients their growing toddlers need”.
