Nestle Milo

Milos new recipe has completely ruined its taste, they've clearly diluted it significantly, even upping the ratio to 50/50 and it still barely tastes like anything, I will never buy it again because it's simply not milo anymore Show details

I've been drinking Milo since the70's. I agree with the reviews saying it has changed and is bland. I remember using ONE reaspoon to get he right taste, this morning I used THREE and it still tasted bland. I suspect it is now has 'fillers' in it to bulk it up so people use more. I might try the Aldi version, it's probably better. Why do companies… Read more

do this? It makes no sense. In the short term they might make more money, but when people stop buying it, any financial gains will be lost. Maybe they hope the new generations don't remember when it tasted good and will keep piling in the teaspoons to make it taste any good. Maybe they think putting 4 teaspoons in the glass is 'normal'. In the past you had no alternative product, today you do. Thanks Aldi, for replicating products we (used to) love and making them better and cheaper.

I grew up with milo on our tables it use to have granules and taste great and now it's like a powder and doesn't even taste like milo use to I won't be wasting my money on this horrible stuff any more YUCK YUCK YUCK Show details

Tasty, stronger than original Milo – I accidentally bought Vegan Milo. Whilst my daughter dislikes it, I have found it quite tasty. It isn't as malty as original Milo, but is still tasty and crunchy. I enjoy it mixed through natural yoghurt, sometimes mixed with nuts and /or dried fruit. If it was packaged differently and given a different name I think it would be received favourably. I would buy it again. Show details

Vegans might like this – Thought I give an honest review as I was aware of what I had bought, you can read on the tin it says 'Plant based' I can understand some people might miss this... anyways, its not too bad. I think vegans or anyone interested in a more plant based diet might enjoy this drink. You can't expect plant based to be identical to the original lol but not… Read more

bad... its like comparing fake meat to a real meat. This milo has its own taste and is targeted towards plant based eaters or people who cannot have dairy. I give it 5 stars for this reason because even though I have grown up loving the original but switching to a vegan diet has changed my palate to many things and actually didnt mind the taste.

Love original milo – Please stop changing the milo!! I picked up the healthier version, by accident, yuk, sorry its gross. And whats with 30% less sugar. Please leave it alone. I grew up always having milo after school or on ice cream. I love the original Milo, its the best, especially as a hot milo in Winter, yumm.. Not sure if anyone else agrees with me but im finished my rant. Thanks  Show details

The Milo "biscuits" aren't good at all, hardly any taste of Milo. It's smaller than an Oreo and more expensive.. Definitely not worth the price for the lack of taste.. Rather buy Oreo or even the cheap chocolate biscuits compared to the Milo ones.. If this is the best they can do for biscuits, I suggest a new recipe and taste testers.... Show details

After at least a year of not purchasing a tin of standard milo everyday old milo. We bought a tin. What has happened to it? Powdery and anaemic looking. Bland taste and as my daughter said no chocolate residue left on the bottom when you finish. We even tried adding more spoonfuls. Nope no success, still bland. All the standard reply's by Nestle,… Read more

simple smoke screens to admitting they are cost cutting in ingredients. Seriously if it aint broken dont fix it.

And another one bites the dust! Milo, why? Why? Were sales down? Did the bean counters decide what's better? I'm 62, and still enjoy that opening of a new tin. Writing something in the tin foil before running the back end of the teaspoon around the edge to fine those crunchy granules on the top and eating a teaspoon full of them before making a… Read more

drink. Putting 3-4 spoonfuls in a cold glass of milk , stirring vigorously then eating it off the top before drinking. Now! Flour-ish and flavour-less. You said in one of your replies that the original is still available. Please tell me exactly what it's called so I never make this mistake again.

Gross taste now, not the same milo – As others have said, the recipe has changed considerably. Barely any sweetness, powdery consistency, and utterly bland. Just garbage now, we just threw it out we were so disgusted by it. Show details

Milo is bloody Awful these days – Very very bland taste. Not recommended. I used 2 heaped tablespoons added extra sugar and it was still awful. Whoever changed up the original recipe is an absolute muppet. I would not buy again.

Won't be buying again – I've been drinking Milo since I was a child. I'm now 42 years old. I have also consumed it as an adult and never dissatisfied. Today I bought a tin of milo (august 2024 UK) and it was terrible. NO crunch whatsoever. It dissolved in my mouth and milk like NesQuick. It was completely unenjoyable and I will not be purchasing again in its current… Read more

condition. This is very sad... The world is an abysmal place in its current state and having a product that takes u back to the sweet sanctity of your Aussie childhood was a God-send. That too seems to be destroyed like so many other things... What an utter shame.....

Why is Milo so sh*t?? – Milo beverage has changed. It not Milo. People have complained, but Nestle gives the same old canned response that it hasn't changed. It definately has! They are committed to the lie and they keep on repeating it..It has no flavour. You can't taste the malt , no chocolately flavour in the current version and the nice crunchy texture has gone. All… Read more

it seems to be now is milk powder with brown colouring and some sort of bulking agent which could be anything. Pd about $14. Would rather spend that money on a good quality drinking chocolate or melt some awesome Whittakers dark chocolate in warm milk. Support another brand instead. Nestle doesn't care.

Need to work on the label – Decided to buy a tin of milo as I’ve always loved it and haven’t bought it in years however I was very disappointed in the taste. I tried some milo on its own and it kind of tasted burnt and old however I’d only just purchased it. I eventually realised that it was a Plant Based version. Nestle need to work on the label so it is instantly… Read more

recognisable from the original product, maybe make the label blue. I’ve noticed a lot of bad reviews and think that maybe I’m not the only one to buy the Plant Based by mistake.

Gross! – We bought a tin of Milo, and upon opening, you Could see that the texture was fine like flour or powdered milk. It is not the normal consistency, where it was much more coarse and crunchy. Any who, It tastes horrible - God know what Milo have done, but they’ve succeeded in losing customers. Change the recipe to the old one, and stop cheating your customers! Show details

Plant based Milo deceiving and yucky – Picked up the plant based Milo. It’s really awful. Milo is expensive for our family and we felt deceived not sure about your packaging it’s misleading. Sorry but we aren’t going to go back. Show details

Milo Plant based tastes vile – I accidentally bought the plant based milo as normal milo was not on the shelf and thought they changed labelling. I had one glass and noticed the milo was not floating. I tasted it and the taste was very bad. I thought the formula changed and then checked the label closely and realised i had bought a plant based version. I immediately threw the… Read more

large can in the bin. This is a woke progressive product. Unlike the malted version was in a brown can i assume the lack of colour change was a sucker punch to increase accidental sales to make out the product was potentially successful. Change the label colour to pink so that people with poor vision dont get sucked un

This review is for Milo Pro specifically – Regular Milo is great, but Milo Pro tastes so disgusting. No matter how many spoonfuls I put in, it still tastes like there's not enough. it's very bland with not even a faint chocolate flavour to it. might as well drink a cup of warm milk.

Now low quality – " We haven't recently changed the formula of original Milo!" Lol. Tell your lies elsewhere. All us old schoolers know you have cheapened the product in pursuit of more profits. It's a insult to one's intelligence to suggest otherwise! 2 add insult to injury , you have raised the prices for your now inferior product/s. Telling blatant lies to consumers who made your product what it was. I'm out!!

Milo cereal has changed it’s flavour – I used to love Milo cereal and it was my go to late night snack. The flavour has significantly changed. Won’t be purchasing again after years of purchase. Show details

I'm sorry,the taste It's horrible – The classic taste is gone and is replaced with something not milo. I purchased by mistake as I didn’t know there was a plant base option. It looked like the original and I the fact you were buying plant base product wasn’t clear or stood out at first glance. You really had to read. Show details

What happened to crunchy milo – Please bring back the old milo This new one is not the same and I feel like my childhood favourite has become politically correct Maybe have the option The best way to drink Milo is the non dissolving crunchy version where you eat it by the spoonfuls on top of your cold milk What ever your fav milk is!

Allergy reaction to plant based Milo – My daughter is Allergic to dairy. We were happy that Milo started plant based alternative. She finished a few tins and enjoyed it previously. Unfortunately, something must have changed recently. She had an allergic reaction after taking one sip. I think this product should be recalled.

if its good don't change it – Just tried the plant based Milo. Checked the label to see if it was passed the "use By" date: No. Rinced out my mouth: still terrible taste. Googled it and found they had changed the formula. YUK - no more Milo for me. Show details

Disgusting new flavour! – What has happened to the taste of milo? We love milo normally but suddenly the taste has changed (and no, I didn’t accidentally buy the plant based one- I’m talking about the regular milo). It leaves a disgusting taste in your mouth, we can’t eat it anymore. I thought it was just the one tin maybe so opened another- same foul taste. Won’t be buying it anymore. Show details

Weird after-taste – Not sure if something has changed in their ingredients but the latest tin I bought has a weird soapy after taste. It's completely undrinkable. I even looked up if it had been recently recalled as the taste is like it has been contaminated with soap. Show details

Milo is now inedible – Has Milo changed their formula in the past few years? It now tastes bland and gives me an upset stomach every time. At first I thought it may be the milk, but no, its Milo causing gas and diarrhoea. I grew up with this as an Australian icon but am no longer buying it for my family.
