Celebrity Moms Love Ola MOO in Chocolate and Vanilla!

Not only do children love the newly-launched Ola MOO, but so do their mothers! Celebrity moms Amor Vittone and Candice Moodley are both delighted with this new ice cream offering from Unilever that provides their children with an excellent calcium boost. Each serving of Ola MOO contains 240 mg of calcium which is equal to the amount of calcium found in a glass of milk (200ml of milk). So while this tasty treat is totally delicious, it is good for children too.

This unique product provides children with a healthy balance between goodness and pleasure. Ola MOO has a high skim milk content and has been developed as a snack that can fit into a balanced diet, while helping to boost calcium intake. With reduced fat and sugar, it is also free from artificial colours and flavours – all-important considerations for health conscious moms looking to nourish healthy children.

Amor and Candice are healthy, beautiful South African women who take great care of their own wellness and vitality, so when it comes to the health of their children, neither mom likes to compromise. Says Amor: “The tricky part is when you know your child deserves a delicious treat, but you are aware of how many unhealthy ingredients each tasty snack contains. I’m thrilled to have found a treat that is not only good for them, but that my children love too!”  

Candice agrees: “No mom likes to refuse her children treats all the time. That’s why I love Ola MOO. Not only does my child find it irresistible, but I can happily give it to him knowing that it is a healthy option.”

A child’s calcium intake is very important for developing bone health, and for ensuring that they stay strong for the rest of their lives.  In South Africa, the current recommended calcium intake for children is 800mg (three glasses of milk) per day, but almost 85% consume less than half of that. To investigate possible solutions to this problem, Unilever conducted a human study to measure how much calcium is absorbed from ice cream.  It showed that ice cream is a good delivery vehicle for calcium, with similar uptake to milk. 

Consultant Dietician, Fathima Bux, adds, “We all know that calcium is important for children but often, despite a mother’s best efforts, her child may not be getting enough from her diet. As it has more calcium, Ola MOO is a tasty alternative for a good source of calcium that every mother knows her child will enjoy.”

The Ola MOO range comes in mouth-watering chocolate and vanilla flavours, and is available as single product 70ml treats or multipacks in either 70ml treats or 100ml cup treats.
