What are the nutritional benefits of Vio?

Vio has been the name of more than one Coca-Cola milk product, so the answer depends on which one you mean. The honest summary: it is flavored milk, so you get what milk gives (protein and other nutrients), together with added sugar and flavoring. Check the label on your pack.

Which Vio?

• Vio in India: a ready-to-drink flavored milk that Coca-Cola India launched as a pilot in January 2016 in 200 ml aseptic packs, in Kesar Treat and Almond Delight variants (saffron, pistachio and almond flavors). The launch coverage says it has no preservatives.
• Other markets: the name may be used on other products elsewhere, so the pack in your hand matters more than any general description. I could not verify details of other versions.

What the label tells you

Read these lines on the pack, because recipes change and the figures differ by country and flavor:

• Serving size and servings per pack.
• Protein: milk drinks are mostly valued for this.
• Total and added sugars: flavored milk usually has more sugar than plain milk.
• Ingredients: milk or milk solids, sugar, flavors and any permitted colors, in order of amount.
• Allergens: milk, and nuts for almond or pistachio flavors.

Is flavored milk a good choice?

Flavored milk gives you milk’s nutrients with extra sugar, so it fits best as an occasional drink or treat rather than your main source of dairy. If you are lactose intolerant, regular milk-based drinks like this can cause bloating or gas; see NIDDK guidance and a health professional.

What this page does not claim

I did not find an official nutrition panel I could verify for Vio, so there are no calorie, sugar or protein numbers here. Reports of figures exist, but I could not confirm which flavor or market they describe.
