This creamy, banana, organic milk drink is made by some quite lovely Welsh dairy farmers. The Harris family decided they didn't want their kids to drink things bad for their teeth, so they invented the Daioni milk drinks. They are low in sugar and fat, as they are made with semi-skimmed milk and taste delightful. They also won Gold in the Great Taste Awards, were named NFU's Regional Producer of the Year, and the runner up in BBC Radio 4's Famer of the Year competition.
After converting their stunning Ffosyficer Farm in north Pembrokeshire to organic production, Laurence Harris and his wife Eira decided they needed to think outside the box to make financial ends meet. Their children provided a bit of inspiration. They'd been looking for an alternative to all fizzy, sugary drinks available in schools. So, they whipped up a few different flavoured milks using their own organic milk, natural flavourings and as little sugar possible. Soon, the orders started flying in – and the awards started to be presented. In 2007, the Harris family won Gold in the Great Taste Awards, was named NFU's Regional Producer of the Year, and was the runner up in BBC Radio 4's Famer of the Year.
