Bringing TheBettermylkCo To Life!

We are raising £1500 to get our recipe solidified, and get our product bottled and labelled. With our shakes ready to go we will then be able to extend them onto the market of vegans, lactose intollerants, health junkies, and generally anyone else who wants to try out some Bettermylk!

The Story 

TheBettermylkCompany was birthed during Maggi's final year at the University of Essex. Although neither vegan or lactose intolerant, Maggi had not been consuming dairy products for over a year due to its health disadvantages but found herself missing out one of her favourite things - Oreo milkshakes. She found that although there was now a very wide variety of non-dairy ‘milk’ choices available on the market, apart from actual milk, there seemed to be little choice of other non-dairy based products (other than out and out alternatives such as tea, juices, and bottled water) available to consumers who fell in the non-dairy category.

She found that consumers in these categories had hence been isolated from being able to enjoy their favorite beverage, all because it either contained dairy, or simply did not deliver on its classification of being called a milkshake, when its contents were more comparable to that of flavored’ milk.

Since this realization, Maggi has been making her own non-dairy milkshakes and with the help of Co-founder Chris has decided to extend her products to a market that is thriving for fresh ideas.

Where will the money go? 

• When we hit our minimum target, we will work with the beverage development company and Co-packer 'MyDrinkBeverages' to solidify the shelf life factors of the recipe and to get 50 prototypes bottled and labelled. 
• 3 x Consultations with MyDrinkBeverages - £800
• Testing and development of primary formulations - £1630
• Recipe development and production management fee - £2568
•  If things really take off(which we hope they will) and we raise more than our target, we will be able to get more prototypes made, and pour more money into a marketing campaign, which includes a sampling tour around universities in the UK!

These features will be our top priority.
