Little (200/250ml?) cartons of UHT milk for school

Hi, I'm looking for snack size milk cartons for my DD (aged 6) to take to school for break time that don't need to be refrigerated. She is missing the milk that was available in reception, and could do with the goodness in the milk at that time of day. She isn't keen on drinking water and I'm reluctant for her to have squash, and school doesn't encourage that anyway. No chocolate allowed, so chocolate flavoured drinks are out, and she doesn't like strawberry flavouring... I have tried Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys & Ocado, all to no avail. Dairy fine but open to non-dairy options too. If anyone has any suggestions on where I could get this (basically like a little carton of apple juice, but a milk based drink) that would be really helpful! Many thanks.

See if school use Cool Milk for their supplies, you can sign up so your dd gets it as well as the younger kids.

Sorted - Milk and More delivering the necessary later this week. Thank you again - the collective wisdom of Mumsnet has been a real help!

I have been struggling with this too!

It annoys me so much that you can easily get choc or flavoured milk in little cartons but not plain milk. It’d be so handy for lunch boxes / picnics.

I’m off to investigate milk and more now

As a non-dairy option, try Vitasoy. Available from Chinese supermarkets or some larger branches of Tesco.

can't you just buy fresh milk and use a cooler-bag style lunch box with a small ice pack?
