Collection: Plant-Based & Dairy-Free

Plant-Based & Dairy-Free Nutritional Supplements

Not everyone can tolerate milk-based supplements and not everyone wants to. Whether it's a dairy allergy, lactose intolerance, a vegan diet, or simply that creamy supplements have become impossible to stomach after weeks of recovery, there are real reasons why someone ends up here. This collection covers two distinct solutions: a genuine plant-based alternative to standard milk-style supplements, and a range of clear, juice-style drinks that deliver serious nutrition without a drop of dairy or anything resembling a milkshake.

Different products, different reasons to reach for them but all of them doing the job when the standard options don't work.

What's in This Collection

The range splits into two clear groups, and it's worth understanding both.

• The clear fruit beverages — Resource Ultra Clear and Fortijuce — look and drink more like a juice than a supplement. They're transparent, fruit-flavoured, and completely free from the milky texture that puts a lot of people off nutritional drinks. That makes them particularly useful for people with flavour fatigue from standard supplements, those with swallowing difficulties who manage thin fluids better, patients who are nauseous and can't face anything creamy, or anyone who simply prefers something that feels more like a drink and less like a medical product.
• Fortisip Plant Based is the dairy-free milk-style option — a complete, balanced nutritional supplement made from plant-based ingredients, for people who need the full caloric and protein support of something like Fortisip but can't or won't consume dairy. It's the closest thing in this range to a conventional oral supplement, just without the cow.

Featured Products

• Nestle Resource Ultra Clear Fruit Beverage — Orange & Apple (200ml)
  Resource Ultra Clear is about as far from a typical nutritional supplement as you can get while still delivering genuine clinical nutrition. It's a clear, fruit-flavoured drink — transparent like juice, not opaque like a shake — that provides protein and essential nutrients in a format that's easy to tolerate even when appetite is poor or nausea is a factor. The orange and apple flavours are light and refreshing rather than sweet and heavy. A genuinely useful option for patients who've hit a wall with milk-based supplements, or for whom a juice-style drink is simply more appealing and more likely to actually get consumed.
• Nestle Resource Fruit Beverage Prism (237ml)
  A fruit-based nutritional supplement in a slightly larger 237ml format, delivering a balanced mix of protein, carbohydrates, and micronutrients in a palatable, non-dairy drink. The Prism format is well-suited to people who need their supplement to feel like something other than medicine — practical for home use, easy to keep in the fridge, and available in a fruit flavour profile that works for a wider range of taste preferences.
• Fortisip Plant Based (200ml)
  The only fully plant-based supplement in the range, and the right choice for people who need complete, milk-free nutritional support in a conventional supplement format. Fortisip Plant Based delivers the same calibre of nutrition as the standard Fortisip range — protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals — using plant-derived ingredients instead of dairy. Suitable for vegans, people with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance, and anyone whose dietary requirements or personal values rule out animal-derived products. Same easy-to-drink 200ml bottle, no compromise on nutritional quality.
• Fortijuce Tropical (200ml)
  Fortijuce is Nutricia's juice-style supplement — a clear, fruit-flavoured drink that is completely free from milk protein and lactose, making it appropriate for people with cow's milk protein allergy as well as those who simply can't manage creamy supplements. The tropical flavour is bright and easy to drink, which matters when compliance is the challenge. Often recommended for people with swallowing difficulties who are on a thin-fluid diet, as the juice consistency is easier to manage than thicker supplement drinks. A solid option for paediatric and adult patients alike.

Who This Collection Is For

The people who end up in this collection tend to arrive from one of a few different directions.

• People with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance who need nutritional supplementation but can't use the standard milk-based options — Fortisip Plant Based and Fortijuce are the go-to choices here.
• Vegans or people with plant-based dietary requirements who need clinical-grade supplementation without compromising on their values.
• Patients in recovery — from surgery, illness, or cancer treatment — who have developed an aversion to creamy or milky drinks and need something they can actually get down without difficulty.
• People with swallowing difficulties or dysphagia who manage thin, juice-consistency fluids better than thicker supplement drinks.
• Aged care residents and hospital patients who've stopped consuming their standard supplement due to flavour fatigue, where a completely different texture and taste profile can reset compliance.
• And carers and facility staff looking for alternatives when a patient or resident won't drink what they've been prescribed.
