I was delighted to see a new product from M-Budget. An almond drink. But the joy didn't last long - a NEW PRODUCT and with SUGAR in it. It's incomprehensible how Migros keeps bringing out new products and adding unnecessary sugar. Too bad Migros, that you are so in love with sugar.
Do you have a link to the product? Or is the product once again not available online? I haven't seen it anywhere in the stores here yet, it's quite possible that it's not available in every cooperative... Here you can only get the almond drink from Alpro and thejegen from Alnatura. I honestly didn't expect anything else, I would have been very surprised if it didn't have any sugar in it. The drinks are either adulterated with sugar or rice... The MBudget soy drink calcium also contains sugar (https://produkte.migros.ch/m-budget-soja-drink-kalzium), so it is only logical or to be expected that the MBudget almond drink also contains sugar... Edit: here is the link https://produkte.migros.ch/m-budget-mandeldrink

No, I don't have a link. It's brand new and I saw it for the first time today. But even there - there's Aldi with a super fine almond drink, unsweetened. The unsweetened one from Alpro is also great, but more expensive
I am of the same opinion. I have the impression that discounters in Germany are reducing the sugar content of their own products or are increasingly developing no added sugar products, while in Switzerland more rather than no/little sugar is being added everywhere.

I think Alpro Almond is fine and quite low in calories, but unfortunately I can't find my favorite, Alpro Hazelnut, anywhere here :-(, Migros: Please at least introduce Alpro Hazelnut.

Yes, Alpro Almond is fine. The almond drinks from Aldi and Lidl (own brands) are also very good and a lot cheaper than Alpro (they just don't have any added vitamins etc., which is perhaps a small disadvantage). I'm also in favour of the Alpro hazelnut drink being added to the range, it's really great. Unfortunately, it's not available anywhere in Switzerland... I've already asked about it here in the forum (https://migipedia.migros.ch/de/forum/migros/haselnussmilch), but Migros turned me down at the time (I think the reason was that there was currently no customer demand for other Alpro products). Migros now has its own "hazelnut drink" in its range (https://produkte.migros.ch/bio-v-love-haselnuss-drink), but I don't like it (I haven't tried it and won't) because it's adulterated with rice, I don't like drinks like that (rice and almond, rice and hazelnut etc.). I also put in a request to Coop; unfortunately Coop has not yet included Alpro's hazelnut drink in its range either...

Hello smartcoyote, thank you very much for your message. What a shame that you don't like the V-Love version. Especially if you appreciate the variety of plant-based drinks, you wouldn't want to miss out on a hazelnut version. I understand that. At the moment, we are actually refraining from adding more Alpro products to the range. This is because we have included many new products in our range. Nevertheless, your request has been placed with our specialist department. We will continue to monitor the issue closely and make any necessary adjustments. Best wishes and have a nice weekend, Tabea
The one from Migros with rice is solala but bland, I think rice is in it to make it creamier due to the starch and cheaper, you can taste the hint of hazelnut more than the rice. But I would also love to try hazelnut drink, I've really never seen it before, Migros could you tinker with it, so pure? Or as smartcoyote suggests the one from alpro, then you can see the "customer need" and bring something out yourself?
I tried Alpro's hazelnut drink abroad and loved it. Here (in Switzerland) I looked everywhere for a pure hazelnut drink, but couldn't find one in health food stores or organic stores; all their hazelnut drinks contain rice. I just don't like mixed drinks like that... I don't mind if Migros adds Alpro's to its range and then, if customer demand is actually too low, takes it out of the range again after a few weeks. That's what they're doing now with other products... But I do understand that Migros doesn't see the need to add such a drink or the Alpro one to its range at the moment. Who knows, hope dies last, maybe one day ;-)

As I said, I also thought the Alpro Hazelnut was 1A, and would be in favor of an introduction in Migros.

Hello Bodenseeknusperli, thank you very much for your suggestion. I apologize for the late response. Your request got stuck for technical reasons. What a shame that you don't like our almond drinks. I was happy to pass on your input to our specialist department. We may be able to conjure up a hazelnut variant. Kind regards, Tabea
