A Mom-Approved Yogurt Drink Just Launched a New Flavor

If moms had a KRA (Key Results Area), being the “official food and snack supplier” would be a lifelong role. There’s the constant meal planning: baon, food for trips, vacation snacks, and everything in between. It all comes down to one recurring section: What will I feed my children?

And it’s not as simple as it sounds. Moms have a lot to consider. Is it healthy? Nutritious? Will they kids actually like it? Does it taste good?

Smart Parenting asked moms from the Smart Parenting Village to try and test both new and existing flavors of a yogurt drink. Will their kids love it? And is it mom-approved?

Here’s what they had to say.

When it comes to their kids’ health and nutrition, moms don’t cut corners. Every item added to the grocery list goes through careful thought and research.

Twenty moms and their kids did a blind test of Dutch Mill Yoghurt Drink’s new apple flavor and its existing Superfruits variant. Eighteen moms shared their kids’ reactions, thoughts on taste, and what they look for in drinks. They also talked about whether they’d include it in their regular grocery list.

The participants: 

• Nicole Guevara – mom of two young kids

• Rency Male – mom of three big kids 

• Jenica – mom of two tweens 

• Danica Saguinsin – mom of two kids 

• Glaissa Joy Albelar – mom of two big kids 

• Lyza – mom of one

• Danica Sy – mom of one young kid

• Dominique – mom of three 

• Rizza Angelika Consulta – mom of two young kids 

• Joana Marie Quintela-Diez – mom of two young kids

• Ma. Lourdes – mom of four kids

• Charina Valdez – mom of two big kids 

• Jeremaine – mom of one young child

• Abigail Saysay – mom of one big kid 

• Glonel – mom of one young child 

• Mae Ti-ad – mom of two, a tween and a young child 

• Grazelle C. Lappay – mom of four

• Irene – mom of two kids

Out of these 18 moms, 11 prepare baon daily, while the rest pack snacks one to four times a week. Most include milk, yogurt drinks, and chocolate drinks in their kids’ baon.

Ingredients matter most. Fourteen moms said they prioritize nutritious ingredients, including vitamins and minerals that help keep kids active and healthy.

Taste is just as important. Kids need to enjoy what they’re drinking. Moms also pay attention to their kids’ requests. If kids ask for it, that’s usually a good sign.

Other factors include affordability, convenience for baon, and trust from other parents.

Yogurt drinks are already popular among kids. Ten out of 17 moms shared their children regularly enjoy them.

11 moms shared that kids love yogurt drinks for their fruity taste. Another popular answer was yogurt drinks are an easy baon option. Eight moms said yogurt drinks are easy to pack. Just grab one and drop it into the lunch bag.

Kids also like them because they’re refreshing and sweet.

The new apple flavor was a clear favorite. All moms who had their kids try the new flavor said their children liked it. On a scale of 1 to 10, the average rating was 9.36. Kids described it as fruity, sweet, tasty, and refreshing. Many finished the drink and asked for more.

Dominique, a mom of three, shared: “It’s not that sweet. The apple variant tastes like real apple, while the other has a sweet, tangy flavor. You can even turn it into a fruity popsicle, which is perfect for summer.”

All 18 moms also liked the apple flavor, with 13 saying they liked it because their kids enjoyed it. 

Glaissa Joy Albelar shared:

“I recently tried this yogurt drink, and both flavors were a hit with my son. It’s perfect for lunchboxes since it’s not messy, and he loves the taste. I also feel good giving him something creamy and tasty without any hassle.”

Abigail Saysay added:

“As a busy mom, this yogurt drink is a great snack and baon option. It has kid-friendly flavors and is packed with nutrients like Vitamins A, C, D, and E. It’s worry-free and easy to pack.”

The Superfruits flavor also performed well. Seventeen out of 18 moms said their kids liked it, with an average rating of 8.72 out of 10.

When it comes to preference, kids were split: 

• 9 moms said their kids liked both flavors equally 

• 5 said their kids preferred apple 

• 3 said their kids preferred the Superfruits flavor

Danica Saguinsin, mom of two, shared:

“Both my kids got to try the yogurt drinks, and it was fun seeing their different favorites. My 3-year-old loved the apple flavor, while my 7-year-old preferred the Superfruits flavor. I like that these drinks feel like a healthier option since they’re made with flavored fruits. We all had a great time enjoying them together, and it’s definitely something I’ll start adding to our baon ideas now that I’ve seen how much my kids enjoyed them.”

So does the new Dutch Mill Apple Flavor Yoghurt drink pass the test of discerning Smart Parenting Village moms?

Yes—100%. All mom respondents said they would include it on their grocery list as their child’s baon or snack time drink.

Charina Valdez said: “It’s fruity, tasty, and very kid-friendly. The flavor is really enjoyable, kaya no wonder a lot of kids love it, lalo yung anak ko.”

Moms are also highly likely to recommend it, with an average rating of 4.94 out of 5.

• Kids’ liking: 100%

Safe to say, it’s officially Smart Parenting mom-approved.
