While the stockpiling of the last few tubs of Nesquik has already begun, the aisles are sadly sure to soon run barren.
However, despite the discontinuation of Nesquik’s chocolate and strawberry flavours, we would hate to see it mark the end of the beloved powdered milk-flavoured era in South Africa. So, we have identified some alternatives that might be worth a try to (hopefully) fill that nostalgic flavoured-milk gap!
1. SPAR Squillos flavoured drinks
Exclusive to the SPAR franchise, the Squillos powdered drink range comes in a variety of flavours, including strawberry, chocolate, lime and banana, to keep those flavoured-milk dreams alive.
2. Spoonfulls flavoured instant powdered drinks
Conveniently available at most Checkers supermarkets, the Spoonfulls range comes in both strawberry and chocolate flavours – all you need is milk to begin your tasting experience!
3. Pick n Pay’s flavoured powdered drinks
If you’re on the lookout for strawberry-, chocolate- and even crème soda-flavoured milk, Pick n Pay offers a range of powdered drink options to tantalise your taste buds!
4. Boston’s Mmmm….Shake!
The flavoured milk range from Boston Mmmm….Shake! is available in three popular flavours: strawberry, chocolate and crème soda.
5. Bubble Tea Shop Online’s strawberry and chocolate powder
While you won’t find the strawberry and chocolate powder from the Bubble Tea Online Shop at your local retailer, it’s just a click away in your online shopping cart!
6. Nomu’s ChocMilk
Also available online, Nomu’s ChocMilk promises to deliver a rich, malty chocolate-flavoured milk that the whole family can enjoy! It also contains 45% less total sugar per 10g serving compared to any other chocolate powdered drinks on the market, making it a great reduced-sugar alternative to try.
