OH loves it so he buys it and Evan will have one now and again! Dont know how good it is but I am a bit of a bad mummy and never really let things like sugar/salt content bother me. As long as they are not having it every day, Im sure its fine, especially as it gets them drinking more milk. Everything in moderation and all that....

Of course you might want to avoid Nestle Nesquik for reasons other than salt/sugar:

I would never buy it but then Isabella loves milk.

I dislike the way it's marketed as 'nutritious' when it's just sugar and flavourings/colourings.

Hubby bought it in for Finlay to have. I never give it. He adores milk on it's own and drinks pints of the stuff so I don't see any need to flavour it and personally I would flavour with natural strawberries etc if I wanted to do a milkshake, but he's had it occasionally but not for months and months now and not by me

We might go to the wimpy for a milkshake whilst we wait for the car to be cleaned every so often too but that really is a treat and those of you who have seen the state of my car will know that that doesn't happen very often at all

i'm sure it says on the packaging no added preservatives, additives, sugar etc etc

they don't have it very often we only have it in the house as OH is a fan

but it gives them a bit of variation i thought

Ethan's occasionally had a chocolate milkshake from a lovely local restaurant who make it with real chocolate and ice cream. They're totally divine!

I wouldn't give him Nesquick, especially the straws as they concentrate the sugar straight into teeth.

I on the other hand am quite partial to a glass of milkshake

. I prefer Crusha

Bubba I'm sure they're about 95% sugar, 5% flavourings/supplements. Defo sugar is main ingredient.

We don't buy Nestle products, Ben has hot chocolate occasionally but not all that often. On the other hand Bella's main nutrition is paediasure and I want to cry when I read the ingredients on that

when she's fat enough I'm going to try a more natural blended food diet.

Oh and my sister got me a chocolate hob nob shakeaway recently which was scrummy
