Here’s a wrap-up of our MUMReview Crew® verdicts…
The product
For toddlers aged 12-24 months, the new S-26® Alula® Original Toddler milk drink has been formulated specifically for active little people – and their growth and developmental needs. It’s ‘Simple Goodness with the Essentials!’
One serve of the nutritious milk drink provides 50% of the recommended dietary intake (RDI) for 10 age-appropriate vitamins and minerals to help support toddler’s growth and development. It is fortified with iron and zinc, with an energy level (271kJ/100mL) comparable to regular cow’s milk (avg. 277kJ/100mL) and it’s enriched with calcium and vitamin D for strong teeth and bones.*
* These assist when dietary intakes of energy and nutrients may be inadequate.
How to use it
The S-26® Alula® Original Toddler milk drink can be used:
- As a nutritious milk drink
- Added to fruit for a delicious fruit smoothie
- As a replacement to regular cow’s milk when preparing cereal, baking or cooking.

The feedback
Here’s what some of the Practical Parenting MUMReview Crew® mums loved about the S-26® Alula® Original Toddler milk drink.
-
It’s gently on the tummy
Some of our reviewers noted that other milk brands left their toddlers with gas and an upset tummy. However, the S-26® Alula® Original Toddler milk drink was gentle on their toddler’s tummy.
-
It tasted nice and smelt sweet
We particularly like the mum’s comment that the milk drink powder “smelt like Easter egg chocolate!” (That could be the vanilla flavour). Other mums mentioned that they were pleasantly surprised by the sweet and palatable taste, given the milk drink does not contain sucrose (table sugar).
-
It is nutrient packed
Many of our mum reviewers were impressed and commented on the amount of minerals and vitamins the S-26® Alula® Original Toddler milk drink contained. In particular, some mums mentioned this was reassuring during times were their toddler had been unwell and not eating a lot during the day, and the milk drink they gave them before bed time was predominantly their only nutrient source.
-
It’s easy to use
Some reviewers commented that the large level scoop provided in the 900g can was easy to use. Another mum commented that the milk drink powder was great for when ‘out and about’, as the powder formula allowed her to ‘make a fresh milk drink at the park or on the go.’
