Product Review: Athena Milk Flavor Powdered Milk

     When was the last time you treat yourself for a full glass of milk? I'm sure you'll answer when you were in elementary or high school. I'm not sure if my relatives and friends still drink milk before going to bed or whenever they want to. The only thing that I'm sure and will be forever sure would be my addiction to coffee. I'm a self-confessed coffee addict and for the record, I can drink three cups twice a week and twice every day. I know, I know drinking coffee has positive and negative effects in our body. Caffeine makes me alert but I can't take the palpitations and when that kicks, I'll be up the whole night.

     I'm so happy when I won the giveaway of Ms. Divine Caraecle- 1,500 php worth of Unilab products! So when I was browsing Unilab's site, the first thing that came to my mind was beauty and skincare products. But when I saw Athena on the list, I never think twice if I'll add this to my prize list. What I have in mind that time was the word BEAUTRITION. I forgot about coffee that time and this milk keep on swirling in my mind. To make a long story short, when the prizes arrived on our door steps, I immediately opened a box of Athena Milk Flavor Powdered Milk and the moment I tasted it, my heart told me that I should make a switch.

What I like:

• The price is affordable.
• Available in different sizes.
• For those who love chocolate flavor drink, Athena Chocolate Flavor Powdered Milk is for you!
• This milk flavor tastes great. No need to add sugar.
• The milk has a very fine texture like that of skim milk that I've tried before. I'm sure that this is low in fat because its main ingredient is skim milk.
• Didn't cause flatulence or irritation on my tummy that I experienced from other brands of milk in the market today.
• This milk has helped me to have a regular bowel movement. I like that this didn't make me constipated that I also experienced from other brands of milk that I've tried.
• As for other benefits like Vitamin A, E, and Zinc, I noticed that I get lesser pimples even if I stay late at night.
• High in calcium and low in fat- two things that milk should have for my age. 
• Easily accessible.
• Has batch, manufacturing and expiry date.

What I don't like:

• Can be a pain to mix because it's forming intact if hot water is added. 

Will I repurchase? Yes, I'm on my third box now. The first two boxes were my prize from the giveaway that I've joined :)

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 rating! Now I know why Anne Curtis-Smith loves drinking this milk. I know she's the endorser of Athena but the mere fact that it's really made with lots of nutrients for beautrition made me think that not all endorsers lie in their commercial ads. I hope you get what I mean here. If she loved this milk, I can say I'm loving this too. My love for coffee will still be there but I think it's time to lessen my consumption since I'm getting older, I need more calcium in my system to avoid osteoporosis. I need to lower my fat intake because metabolism slows down for women at their 30's especially to those who have a sedentary lifestyle. 

     Do you still drink your glass of milk before you go to sleep? What's your favorite brand?

Good Times!~
