Coles. I just checked the online shop and it's called abundant earth.

Jaspers sells a fairtrade one and you can buy it online from them.

Oh, thanks!!

We havent had Milo for years, and I try to stear clear of Nestle as much as possible.... and I dont think the Cadbury's hot choccy is also fairtrade yet?

Will get some and give it a go!!

Are you looking for alternative hot chocolates? or alternatives TO hot chocolate?
In terms of non-coffee, non-caffeine, I have found that red (rooibos?) tea is great
you could also try hot milk with vanilla essence. There is also malt, or white hot choc, thats super tasty
Or for a low fat option, hot water with lemon and honey never fails!

To the aktivite drinkers - how do you prepare it?

I remember drinking it as a child, but it's changed? Doesn't look quite so much like fairy poo as it used to...

I grew up on akta vite and still drink it now. It's less sweet than milo... I also tend to sprinkle it on toast and ice cream...

In cold milk I just stir it in... and scoop of the crunchy bits from the top. In hot milk, it dissolves more thoroughly so you don't get the crunchy bits and I find I have to use less or it's just too strong (I have my milk fairly weakly chocolate flavoured).
