Bigger Scoop
This page breaks down the label so you can see what a single prepared glass delivers and how it fits in a day. The values below come from the brand’s public nutrition table and apply to the standard scoop size mixed with water. You’ll also find plain-language notes on folate, calcium, iron, DHA, sweeteners, and handy prep tips.
Materna Milk Nutrition: Per-Serving Breakdown
Start with energy and the basics. One prepared glass made with three scoops (42 g) of the Plain flavor supplies 159 kcal, 9 g protein, 23 g carbohydrate, 3 g fat, and 3 g fiber. The mix is dairy-based, so lactose contributes to total carbohydrate. The chocolate variant is close on calories at 157 kcal per glass, while Mocha Latte clocks in at 172 kcal because the serving is slightly larger.
| Item | Per Glass | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 159 kcal (Plain, 42 g) | 157 kcal Choco; 172 kcal Mocha Latte |
| Protein | 9–10 g | Milk-based; highest in Mocha Latte |
| Total Fat | 3 g | Mostly saturated from dairy/coconut |
| Carbohydrate | 22–25 g | Includes lactose; plus 3 g fiber |
| Sucrose | 0 g (Plain) | 4 g in Chocolate |
| Fiber | 3 g | From inulin |
| DHA | 25 mg | Per glass across flavors |
| Folate | 333 µg DFE | ~56% RENI per glass |
| Calcium | 600 mg | ~75% RENI per glass |
| Iron | 7 mg | ~18% RENI per glass |
| Zinc | 5 mg | ~47% RENI per glass |
| Iodine | 60 µg | ~30% RENI per glass |
| Magnesium | 70 mg | ~34% RENI per glass |
| Vitamin C | 42 mg | ~53% RENI per glass |
How The Mix Works And What To Expect
Scoop size matters. The Plain and Chocolate flavors list three scoops as 42 g; Mocha Latte lists three scoops as 46 g. If you heap scoops or add powder to less water, the drink tastes richer and the numbers rise. Stick to level scoops and 200 ml of warm water to stay near the printed values.
Protein, Fat, And Carbs
Protein sits at 9–10 g per glass depending on flavor, coming from milk powders. Fat totals about 3 g, mostly saturated from dairy and coconut oil. Carbohydrate sits around the low-twenties in grams; fiber is listed at 3 g thanks to added inulin. Sucrose is 0 g in the Plain flavor and about 4 g in Chocolate; the rest of the sweetness comes from naturally present lactose.
Folate, Calcium, Iron, And DHA
Now to the anchors that matter in pregnancy nutrition. Each glass provides 333 µg DFE of folate and 600 mg of calcium, alongside iron at 7 mg, iodine at 60 µg, magnesium at 70 mg, zinc at 5 mg, vitamin C at 42 mg, and a listed 25 mg of DHA. Public guidance asks people who can become pregnant to get 400 mcg folic acid daily, and adults during pregnancy are commonly advised to aim for around 1,000 mg calcium per day from foods and supplements combined. Two glasses land you in range for both folate and calcium, while still leaving room for regular meals.
Flavors, Calories, And Sweetness
Picking a flavor changes calories, sucrose, and the serving size, but the core micronutrients stay aligned. Plain is the lowest in added sugars with a clean dairy profile. Chocolate adds 4 g sucrose per glass and similar macros. Mocha Latte edges up calories and protein with a bigger scoop size. If you’re tracking energy intake, the table below sums up the trade-offs in one view.
| Variant | Per Glass Highlights | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Plain | 159 kcal • 0 g sucrose • 600 mg calcium | Lower sweetness |
| Chocolate | 157 kcal • 4 g sucrose • 600 mg calcium | Sweet tooth days |
| Mocha Latte | 172 kcal • 10 g protein • 46 g scoop | Extra energy |
Daily Use: When It Fits And When It Doesn’t
This drink works best as part of a full day of eating. Many people take one glass at breakfast and another later in the day to spread calcium and folate. If you already use a prenatal supplement with folic acid and iron, check label totals with your clinician to avoid stacking beyond what you were advised. Those with diagnosed lactose intolerance can still tolerate small amounts; that depends on the individual and the amount of lactose from all sources.
Smart Pairings
Balanced pairings keep blood sugar steady. Try the drink with fruit and a handful of nuts for fiber and unsaturated fats, or next to whole-grain toast and eggs to bump protein. On days you’re low on dairy foods, a glass can anchor your calcium intake. When appetite drops in the first trimester, sipping it cold can feel easier than a full meal.
Prep Tips That Keep The Benefits
Use previously boiled warm water, then stir until smooth. The brand advises keeping water below 45°C to protect the listed probiotic count of Bifidobacterium lactis (DR10). Make it fresh and drink soon after mixing rather than storing in the fridge. If you prefer it chilled, build it over ice right before you drink.
Label FAQ In Plain Words
What Does “No Added Sugars” Mean Here?
The Plain flavor lists 0 g sucrose per serving. That doesn’t mean sugar-free; the glass still contains lactose, the naturally present milk sugar. Chocolate lists 4 g sucrose per glass in addition to lactose. If you’re moderating added sugars, the Plain tub is the simpler pick.
What Is DR10?
DR10 is the brand’s name for Bifidobacterium lactis HN019. The label prints a count of about 4.2×10^7 colony-forming units per glass. That’s a modest amount designed for everyday use in a milk powder, and it’s paired with inulin, a prebiotic fiber.
Who Should Skip It?
Anyone with a diagnosed milk allergy should skip dairy-based powders altogether. Those advised to limit iodine or vitamin A should review the panel with their care team. People with gestational diabetes often plan drinks like this around meals and meter readings; a dietitian can help personalize timing and portions.
Ingredient List, In Plain Terms
The base comes from skim milk, whey, and buttermilk powders. These supply protein and natural lactose. Maltodextrin helps the powder dissolve and keeps the texture smooth. Inulin shows up for fiber; it’s a prebiotic that feeds friendly gut bacteria and adds thickness. A small amount of coconut oil rounds out the fat profile and helps carry fat-soluble vitamins.
You’ll see a long line of added vitamins and minerals. Calcium carbonate lifts the calcium number without changing taste much. Vitamins A, D, E, B-complex, and C are present in the ranges printed in the table above. Iron appears as ferrous salts that blend in milk. Iodine is listed as potassium iodide. These forms are common on fortified dairy and cereal labels and are chosen because they stay stable while the can sits on your shelf.
Two entries stand out for brain and gut: DHA from fish oil and gangliosides from milk fat globule membrane (MFGM). The label prints 25 mg DHA and 5 mg gangliosides per glass. The probiotic Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 (DR10) is added after drying so that the count survives in the can. Keep water under 45°C when mixing to help it along. If you need a sweeter taste without the 4 g sucrose in the Chocolate tub, blend the Plain flavor with a pinch of unsweetened cocoa.
