I’ve been wanting to try Horizon Organic milk for some time now. Thanks to Mom Central, I was able to try Horizon Organic Single Serve milk and I love it. Horizon Organic milk provides essential nutrients without the dangers of antibiotics, pesticides, or growth hormones. Fortified with Vitamins A and D, parents can feel good about making school lunches and after-school snacks. I received a sample of each flavor; regular, chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. It was like drinking liquid Neopolitan, absolutely delicious! Horizon Organic tastes so pure. Ever noticed the taste difference between tap and bottled water? The taste comparison of regular milk vs Horizon Organic milk is similar. One thing that I noticed is that the Horizon Organic strawberry and chocolate milks are white. After being amused that all flavors of milk are white, I had a duh moment. It’s organic milk, therefore it doesn’t contain any artificial food coloring! D-U-H!
I like to buy things in bulk, but milk is just one item that can’t be bought in bulk. I love the fact that when Jay gets older, I can buy Horizon Organic Single Serve in bulk without worrying about it going bad in a week. Horizon Organic Single Serve has a shelf life of about 2 months! The samples I received expire in November! Shelf life, doesn’t milk have to be refrigerated? Horizon Organic Single Serve can be stored away without having to be refrigerated! So I can just store them on top of our cupboards (we use that extra space up the since we don’t have a pantry) and pull them down as needed!
Quoting horizonorganic.com, here’s why the Horizon Organic milk has such a long shelf life:
Single serve milks are packaged in aseptic tetrapaks and unopened will keep at room temperature up to seven months or until the date code. The milk is pasteurized using UHT or ultra-high temperature process which is similar to UP or ultra-pasteurization, in which the milk is heated to >280° F for 2-3 seconds, but packaged in a sterile environment thus extending its shelf life. The package itself is durable, lightweight, convenient for transport, and uses low energy and few materials. It is recyclable at any local program that accepts aseptic packages.

Hopefully by the time Jay starts drinking cow’s milk, the price of Horizon Organic will go down some. I look forward to being a regular consumer. Of course, every sale and discount helps. For coupons, visit the coupon sign up page :-).
Skyrocket your sales!

My daughter is almost 3 and she loves this milk! She’ll drink regular milk alright but I have to ask her a bunch of times if she wants some and I think she only says yes so I’ll stop bothering her. I order it on Amazon when it goes on sale from time to time for $18 a box of 18. That’s only $1 each which is great compared to the $1.70 each at the grocery store.
We actually got a shipment the other day and we opened it up with Samantha. I cut the packaging tape on the Amazon box and had her open it. As soon as she saw the familer case her eyes got so wide and she yelled, “OOOHHH Milk!!” You’d think she just saw the most amazing playground or something. We could not stop laughing at how excited she was about it. It really does taste pretty good too and I love being able to store it without it needing to be refrigerated.
Their regular cartoned milk is really good too. There is noticable difference between Horizon and regular store milk. We only get regular milk on WIC but every now and then we sprlurge and buy a half gallon of Horizon.

This is one of my kids favorite! Ever since we started drinking nothing but organic milk some years ago this was the only brand that made these cute little pouches. Strawberry and vanilla are our favorites.
We don’t buy it often, it’s one of those special treats!
