With Minimiil, we are committed to promoting healthier and more sustainable eating for the well-being of our children and our planet.
For us, Minimiil means a lot!
- Mini – for kids and our shot format
- Millions – of probiotics

- Ml – the liquid measure
- Millennium – for the snack revolution that's coming!
The gut microbiome is a community of tiny microorganisms that live in our intestines and play an important role in our bodies. These microorganisms are involved in digestion, the production of certain vitamins, and various biological processes. Taking care of your gut microbiome means paying attention to the diverse community of microorganisms that naturally live within us.
Almond milk is a plant-based alternative to dairy milk, naturally lactose-free and generally low in calories. Light and refreshing, it is a suitable option for people with lactose intolerance or those following a vegan diet.
Blackcurrant is a small berry particularly rich in vitamin C. It also contains antioxidants, notably anthocyanins.
The products
Minimiil is a creamy, plant-based fermented drink, specially formulated to enrich children’s microbiome. It provides them with essential nutrients—vitamins, minerals, and fiber—that they need to grow strong. A super drink to take care of their health every day!
According to current regulations, in order to use the word "yogurt," the main ingredient must be of animal origin. To make yogurt, animal milk is fermented by microorganisms called probiotics, which are the good bacteria beneficial for the microbiome. Minimiil is exactly the same in the plant-based world! Our super drink uses specific plant-based ferments to enrich children's microbiomes and provide essential nutrients, all while adhering to the legislation.
Minimiil products are real foods, designed to provide a full range of essential nutrients. They are meant to be consumed daily as part of a balanced diet. Dietary supplements, on the other hand, typically target specific deficiencies and offer a different approach to nutrition. They can be taken alongside our drink but should not replace a complete and varied diet.
Minimiil products can be consumed from the age of 3. Our fermented plant-based drinks are specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of young children while being tasty and enjoyable to drink.
We chose almonds for our drink because of their interesting nutritional profile. Among the different ingredients used to make plant-based beverages — legumes (such as soy), nuts (such as hazelnuts), and cereals (such as oats) — almonds stand out for their nutrient content, particularly fiber. Their geographical proximity also makes them a relevant choice for our sourcing approach.
minimiil shots are 100% plant-based and lactose-free, making them suitable for people with lactose intolerance. The Blackcurrant-Blueberry flavor contains tree nuts (almonds). The Mango-Ginger-Turmeric, Pear-Vanilla, and Hibiscus-Mint flavors are oat-based and contain gluten.
No, and that’s not going to change. Minimiil is committed to providing healthy and sustainable food for your children. We don’t add any chemical additives to our drinks – no emulsifiers, preservatives, thickeners, or flavors – which makes them more complex to produce but so much better for health! As a result, our products have a recommended consumption date of 25 days, ensuring their freshness and quality.
Practical information
Yes, our products must be kept refrigerated to maintain the viability of their live cultures and preserve their quality.
Of course! All of our packaging, including the cardboard, is recyclable and should be placed in the recycling bin. By recycling, you contribute to giving them a second life for making new items. We chose plastic for our bottles because it is less energy-intensive than glass, lighter than metal, more durable than cardboard... and safer for children! Despite common misconceptions, it’s the most responsible choice for us.
You can discover our products on our website, in partner bakeries, gourmet stores, and certain specialty retailers. For added convenience, we also offer a subscription on our site, allowing you to receive our super-drinks directly at your door with just a few clicks.
