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

[tumbleouttabed]

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.

Do Milk and More delivery to you?

I think Morrison's do these?

Alpro kids growing up milk in cartons i get them for my DS, dairy free, always found in sainsburys tesco or asda in the almond milk section

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

Thanks - helpful suggestions!

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

Hi there, any suggestion on carton milk for 3-4 year old as part of pack lunch please.

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?

I have the same problem as OP, but we don’t have Milk and More in our area. I thought I’d update this old thread, as I’m sure it’s a recurring issue that needs updated/current ideas. I’ve found 200ml semi skimmed UHT cartons on Amazon, £15 for 27 so 55p each.

My DS is almost 15 now and I looked for small plain milk cartons way back when he moved on to packed lunches at age 8. He’s very in to gym and fitness now, doesn’t want the sugar of chocolate milk but wants the protein and liquid food element of fresh milk.
