Dear food people,
I recently picked up a packet of Mylk Zillions by Naturally Good, intrigued by its bold claims: 50% less sugar, 20% fewer carbs than your average buttons-with-sprinkles snack, entirely plant-based, vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and "zero sugar alcohols".
At SGD $9.95 (£5.70) for a 135g pack, it seemed like a promising treat for anyone keen on guilt-free snacking.
About the Brand.
Naturally Good Products is an Australian food company specialising in prepacked confectionery made with natural ingredients, positioned as a less sweetened alternative to conventional snacks.
Their focus is firmly on plant-based and better-for-you treats perfect for anyone seeking something a bit different from the usual confectionery aisle.
Although still a niche player with around 3,400 followers on Instagram, the brand has started to gain traction among those keen on cleaner, plant-based indulgences.
Let’s talk packaging first.
One thing you’ll notice right away is the packaging. It’s nice and slick, with an attractive design that really catches the eye and clearly lays out all the information you want to know about the product.
The easy-tear ziplock, foil-lined for insulation, is a thoughtful touch that keeps the product protected from Singapore’s unforgiving heat. Still, I’d recommend popping it in the fridge when you get home, just to be safe.

Some History.
“Mylk,” as the label suggests, refers to a dairy alternative made from tapioca fibre, coconut milk, and acacia gum, cleverly engineered to replicate the creamy mouthfeel of milk chocolate.
A quick detour down food history lane: the world’s first plant-based milk was rice milk, invented in China around 1000 BC.
Fast forward to the 20th century, soya milk production kicked off near Paris, thanks to Li Yu-Ying, and in the 1990s, oat milk was born in Sweden courtesy of food scientist Rickard Öste, paving the way for the global oat milk craze we know today.
The Taste Test.
The coconut flavour is immediately apparent, and the chocolate melts smoothly in your mouth. The sprinkles add a crunchy contrast, though perhaps not ideal if you’ve got sensitive teeth.
Despite the promise of reduced sugar, the sweetness from the sprinkles is still quite pronounced, which somewhat undermines the “less sweet” claim.
Texture-wise, these buttons hold their shape well and don’t crumble as you grab them from the bag is always a plus.
The Verdict.
So, how does it stack up? I’d rate Mylk Zillions a solid 3 out of 5 for taste and texture. While it’s pleasant enough, I didn’t find it significantly less sweet than mainstream chocolate snacks, though I didn’t mind the coconut undertone knowing that it is a plant-based product.
It won’t fool you into thinking you’re eating classic chocolate, but for those who are lactose intolerant or simply looking for a plant-based alternative, it’s a comfortable choice.
In terms of value, it gets a 4 out of 5 from me, the price point is reasonable for a niche, specialty product.
If you’re after a dairy-free treat that feels a bit less indulgent but still ticks the boxes for chocolate cravings, Mylk Zillions is worth a try, just don’t expect it to be a game-changer on the sugar front.
