My 5 year old son LOVES milk. Usually the first thing he asks for when he wakes up is a glass of milk. He asks for milk with his lunch and dinner too (unlike my other children).
I will admit that I don’t really drink milk that often. I like milk with my cereal and I love to dunk my Oreos in a small glass of milk. I use milk when cooking and baking, but it is something that I don’t really crave. When I drink milk, it has to be cold. It my milk has been sitting out, it isn’t going in my mouth. Maybe I am just being picky but that is how it goes. My son on the other hand will drink a gallon of milk a day if he could.
Just recently one of my daughter’s brought home a little box that had milk inside and said she got it from school. It looked like one of those fruit juice boxes, but it had milk inside which had me interested. Since my son loves milk, I had always wanted a way to bring him milk instead of soda or juice when we pack a picnic lunch. I had always thought that milk needed to be kept in the fridge and never imagined milk being in a box with a straw that a child would want to drink. I was wrong!
I received a variety of the Milk Unleashed milk products and I placed them in the fridge just to see what kind of response I would get. As soon as my two youngest children seen them, they ask right away if they could have one. I was excited to see that they wanted to drink these little cartons of milk. They liked all of them but the strawberry milk, but that is something that I have never liked either.
I was also curious how this milk in a box works, so I did a little looking.
Milk boxes don’t require refrigeration until they’re opened. This eco-friendly packaging keeps the milk safe and maintains the protein, calcium and other important nutrients. Your family can enjoy delicious, nutritious milk anytime, anywhere.
To make this milk safe to drink, the milk has been flash-heated at higher temperatures (ultra-pasteurization) that eliminates bacteria. The milk is then placed into Tetra Pak shelf safe cartons that protect the milk from air, light and other contaminants.
You can save this milk in your pantry, then put in fridge to chill before you drink it. For those that like to have picnics and bring an ice chest full of sodas, be sure to bring some milk now too! There are a variety of flavors including these below that I received:
Have you tried these yet?

My son loves milk! Our favorite brand is Horizon Organic
I have tried the Horizon milk in these containers, and they are very easy to take with you, but the Hershey’s milk looks so good that I have to try soon. These are great to take in lunches!
I’m lactose intolerant, so I tried to avoid dairy products much as I can. However, my son is milk crazy!
I love milk but also lactose intolerant – thankfully I’ve been okay with organic 🙂
We drink the horizon ones. We love them I plan on bringing a few for our trip next month
Sweet T would looooove these.
So easy to pack for school.
What a great drink for lunch.
Love milk, especially chocolate milk 🙂
We have tried these. My kids love the chocolate ones.
I love these for school lunches. They are so much better then some juice full of sugar. In fact you can buy the Horizon brand milks by the case at Safeway for a really good price.
So cool to see what kind of technology goes into the packaging of this product.
I like my milk cold too but I know my children would love these. I’ll have to look for them next time we are shopping.
We always have a few of these in the cabinet just in case we run out of milk!
I can’t drink regular milk {lactose intolerant} but my son LOVES these!
We absolutely love shelf safe milk. A container goes inside my children’s lunches at least twice a week!
We use shelf stable milk as well.. I keep a few in the car at all times because my tot is a milkoholic
I have not tried those. I always thought milk had to be cold. Interesting.
I love having it handy like this.
We buy these 🙂
Oh, wow — I didn’t realize that about the boxes…. good to know!
I’m definitely going to pick up some of these this weekend!
I’ve never been a huge milk drinker. In fact, the thought of consuming cow milk usually makes me wanna yack, but with this pregnancy, I’m actually craving it. It’s weird.
My kids love these!
u know what they say Milk does a body good. My kids love drinking milk
I always wondered why these boxes did not have to be refrigerated.
These would be great for lunches.
We’ve tried a couple of them. My kids are such water drinkers that we save the milk for home anyway.
This is perfect for pregnancy!
I really had no idea Horizon milk was able to stay on the shelf. Sounds stupid since it’s sol on the shelf but as soon as I get it home I put it in the fridge since I think it “has to be there” where I came up with that logic I have no idea, LOL.
I didn’t realize there was so much involved in the packaging. That’s interesting!
We happen to be dairy free here.
I love these for picnics and trips for my son. I don’t drink milk, but my son sure does love it!
We’ve seen the Horizon one at Starbucks but not the others. I hope they become more available in the area – great idea and fabulous option versus soda or sugary drinks.
So many different varieties. I love strawberry milk
Milk is a favorite of my daughter.
I love these so much. MMM Chocolate milk!
