Our story
By parents, for parents
We wanted a nutritious, plant-based alternative to cow's milk for our own young kids. It didn't exist, so we made it!
Founded as The Latte Co in 2019, we rebranded in early 2023.
Whether for weaning, transitioning from other milks to avoid allergens or ensuring sufficient nutrition for picky eaters, we've got you covered.
Moms team up with researchers
Our patent-pending recipe is what happens when 3 health-conscious moms from Montreal collaborate with a team of nutritionists, pediatricians and biologists for 2 years of research & development. 🔬
Plus months of working hand-in-hand with scientists to ensure a balanced blend of nutrients specific to the needs of young kids with developing brains and bodies.
"There was almost nothing on the market to replace fortified dairy milk for young kids.
I wanted only whole food ingredients and wanted it to be organic—nothing lab-made or extracted."
Why another option was needed
Most plant-based alternatives don’t offer the level of nutrition required for early childhood.
Or they still contain things that parents don’t want, like artificial flavourings, refined sugar, syrups, preservatives, carrageenan or oil from canola or sunflowers.
Smile Organic is free from those undesirable ingredients and always will be!
Whole foods make a whole lot of difference
We use only real, whole superfoods sourced from the highest-quality ingredients in the world.
This is the only product of its kind on the market made this way because it's technically quite challenging.
When you use whole foods, you can't just isolate a single vitamin or mineral, you need to expertly blend all the ingredients to achieve a balanced formulation that falls within nutritional norms established by regulators like Health Canada.
It's a lot easier to formulate a balanced product using synthetic ingredients, but we refuse to compromise because we believe that the best vitamins and minerals come from nature—not from a lab!
