Who Are Müller
Müller is a German family dairy, started in 1896 in the Bavarian village of Aretsried and run by Theo Müller since 1971. In the UK it is a household dairy name, best known for yogurts such as Müller Corner, Müllerlight and the Müller Rice pots. Beyond the yogurt aisle, Müller is also one of the country's largest milk processors, handling close to a third of all the fresh milk sold in Great Britain. The products gathered in this collection come from that milk side of the business rather than the yogurts: the FRijj milkshake range.
FRijj, the Müller Milkshake
FRijj is Müller's ready-to-drink milkshake, and it carries a history of its own. It launched in 1993 as a Dairy Crest product, made at a creamery in Crudgington, Shropshire, and became the flavoured milk a whole generation grew up on. When Dairy Crest stepped away from milk in 2015, FRijj moved to Müller in a deal worth around £80 million, and it has been part of the Müller stable ever since. Throughout, it has stayed a genuinely thick shake rather than a watery flavoured milk, which is what keeps buyers coming back.
Made With Fresh British Milk
What sets FRijj apart is the milk rather than any gimmick. Because Müller draws it from fresh British dairy farms and bottles it cold, a FRijj tastes closer to a hand-made milkshake than a long-life carton drink. That priority of real milk first and flavour second is why the brand leans on provenance instead of novelty, and why it has held its place in UK fridges for three decades. It is also the clearest link between the FRijj bottle in your hand and the wider Müller dairy operation behind it.
The Four FRijj Flavours
All four share the same thick, chilled milkshake base, so the pick is really about which pudding you fancy in a bottle.
| Flavour | What it tastes like |
|---|---|
| Chocolate | The classic thick chocolate shake, the flavour most people picture when they think of FRijj |
| Banana | Smooth and mellow, the gentlest of the four and a long-standing favourite with younger drinkers |
| Fudge Brownie | The richest option, chocolate deepened with a sweet, fudgy brownie note |
| Strawberry Cheesecake | Creamy strawberry with a biscuit-and-cheesecake edge, the dessert-led pick of the range |
What's in the Bottle
FRijj is a dairy milkshake, so fresh British milk is the main event, blended with flavour and a little sugar and chilled ready to pour. Because it is milk-based, every bottle contains dairy and gives you the protein and calcium that come with it, which is part of why parents treat it as a step up from a fizzy drink. That same milk base means FRijj is fine for vegetarians but not suitable for vegans. Müller refreshes recipes periodically, so the label on the bottle is the place to check flavour-specific ingredients and allergens.
When a FRijj Hits the Spot
Lunchboxes and after-school: a 330ml bottle is a familiar packed-lunch and after-school pick that feels like a treat while still being milk at its core.
A pudding you can drink: Fudge Brownie and Strawberry Cheesecake especially land as a drinkable dessert if you fancy something sweet without making anything.
A cold hit after the gym: milk brings protein and calcium, so a chilled shake doubles as an easy refuel that is nicer than plain milk.
Chocolate and banana loyalists: the two originals are the everyday crowd-pleasers, the ones that disappear fastest from a shared fridge.
Stocking the fridge: a case of twelve suits a busy household. Sit FRijj beside the chilled Costa Coffee shelf, the Korean Milkis milk sodas, or pair it with the wider chocolate range for a full sweet-treat order.
Getting FRijj Delivered
Supermarkets tend to sell FRijj as loose single bottles, which adds up if the household drinks them daily. A case of twelve here lands at just over a pound per 330ml bottle, so buying the tray is the cheaper route for regular drinkers. Take the basket over £20 and there is no delivery charge. FRijj also travels well alongside the wider drinks selection if you are stocking a fridge for the week.
Müller and FRijj, Answered
Who Makes FRijj Now?
FRijj is made by Müller, the German family dairy, which bought the brand along with Dairy Crest's milk business in 2015. It was originally a Dairy Crest product, launched in 1993 in Shropshire. Müller runs Britain's largest fresh-milk network, which is where the milk in every bottle comes from.
What Else Does Müller Make?
Beyond FRijj, Müller is best known in the UK for its yogurts, including Müller Corner, Müllerlight and the Müller Rice pudding pots, on top of a large fresh-milk business. This collection focuses on the FRijj milkshake bottles rather than the yogurt range, but they all come from the same Müller dairy.
Is FRijj Suitable for Vegetarians or Vegans?
FRijj is suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans, because it is a dairy milkshake made with fresh cow's milk. Every flavour contains milk, so it is not dairy-free. Anyone with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance should avoid it and check the label for the full allergen list.
Does FRijj Need to Be Kept in the Fridge?
FRijj is a fresh chilled milkshake, not a long-life carton drink, so it should be kept refrigerated and enjoyed cold. Give it a swirl before you open it so the flavour mixes evenly, and once opened, finish it within the time stated on the label.
What Is the Best-Selling FRijj Flavour?
Chocolate is the flagship and the flavour most associated with FRijj, with Banana close behind as the long-running favourite among younger drinkers. Fudge Brownie and Strawberry Cheesecake are the more indulgent, dessert-style options for anyone who wants something richer than the two originals.
