Yazoo is available in four flavours; banana, chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.[2] Vanilla was introduced in 2014, as a limited edition flavour. It was announced that the Vanilla flavor and other flavours would be staying. Bottle sizes range from 200 ml, 400 ml, and one litre.

A range of No Added Sugar was introduced from 2016, in Strawberry, Banana and Toffee flavours.[3] The following year, chocolate was added to this range.[4] It was announced in November 2018 the range was to be rebranded as Yazoo Kids.[5] In April 2018, a limited edition Choc Mint flavour was introduced, following the results of a vote from consumers about the flavour they would most like to try as a milk drink.

In April 2019, a limited edition Choc Caramel flavour was introduced replacing the Choc Mint flavour. FrieslandCampina said that Choc Mint had generated £1 million within five months of launch, and that the "target audience of sixteen to twenty four year olds are always looking for new flavours to try."[6]

The bottles of 2015 were designed by Steve Trotman. The smaller bottles usually have transparent straws glued to the side, in a plastic wrapper. The larger bottles feature a tearaway tag on the label for easy recycling. Yazoo is suitable for vegetarians; it is a source of calcium, protein, B2 and B12. It is low in fat and contains no artificial sweeteners, colours or preservatives.

Advertising[]

Advertisements previously featured a green dinosaur mascot named Dino, similar to Nesquik's Quicky the Rabbit.

The new line of bottles have the phrase, "Milk shaken up" on the label.
