YAZOO has all the qualities of a post exercise replenishment drink, containing protein and helping to replace vital nutrients such as calcium after sport.

YAZOO is proud to support youth sport to promote an active and healthier lifestyle. YAZOO does this by sponsoring the RFU YAZOO tag rugby programme which helps to bring tag skills and benefits to as many young children as possible.

Sale Sharks Captain and England rugby player, Mark Cueto, acts as the YAZOO Tag Rugby Ambassador. In the last two years alone YAZOO and the RFU have brought Tag Rugby to nearly two million children as well as donating balls, tag belts and other equipment to thousands of schools across the country. YAZOO recently announced that it would be extending the contract with the RFU until 2012.

Research published by the University of Leeds has revealed that only 1% of children’s lunchboxes meet the Government’s nutritional standards. With over 5.5bn packed lunches being eaten each year, this is a staggering amount of junk food that children are potentially consuming.

YAZOO belongs to an exclusive selection of drinks which meet current government legislation for drinks that can freely sold in schools, so parents can be safe in the knowledge that YAZOO is a great healthier alternative to high sugar soft drinks and an ideal lunchbox filler, retailing at affordable price points. Why should kids drink milk?

  • Milk is one of the best sources of calcium which is vital for healthy growth, strong bones and teeth
  • Children between the ages of 7-10 years should get at least 550mg of calcium each day* and a small 200ml bottle of YAZOO provides kids with 30% of their RDA*, so there’s no tastier way of getting calcium into their bodies
  • Milk is a great source of vitamin B which is good for making red blood cells and the formation of nerves.
  • Milk also contains protein which is important for muscles and body strength. A small 200ml bottle of YAZOO contains about 6g of protein and can make a good contribution to the daily protein intake kids need!
  • Children who drink milk have comparable or lower BMIs compared to children who don’t drink it**

* RDA – Recommended daily allowance
