Mugwort soy milk powder in lukewarm water for kids: Garu Seonsaeng

I mixed Garuseonsaeng Seoritae Seoritae Mugwort Soy Milk with lukewarm water and gave it to my kid one morning.

Mugwort soy milk has been getting attention lately — it even came up as a hot topic on the TV show Pun-Star Restaurant — so I was curious to see how my kid would react. Today I'm covering everything from the ingredients and packaging to my kid's actual taste test, so stick with me to the end!

What is Garu Seonsaeng mugwort soy milk powder?

Garuseonsaeng Seoritae Seoritae Mugwort Soy Milk is a powdered raw soy milk that keeps the feel of freshly pressed homemade soy milk while getting rid of expiration-date worries. They say it includes the whole soybean — skin, pulp and all — to keep the bean's nutrition intact.

It only uses Korean soybeans, Korean mugwort, sun-dried salt, and unrefined raw sugar, so there's nothing unfamiliar on the ingredient list.

With no artificial additives, I felt comfortable giving it to my kid as a snack. Since it's a mugwort-based health snack, it seemed like it could work not just for kids but also as a diet snack or protein shake substitute for adults.

Mugwort is also known to be good for gut health, so it didn't seem like a bad thing to work into a kid's diet either.

What's in the box and how to mix it: control the thickness with water

It arrived two days after I ordered it by courier. It came in a clean box, which was a nice touch. Since Garuseonsaeng Seoritae Seoritae Mugwort Soy Milk is a powder, you can freely adjust the concentration with the amount of water.

You can make it thick or smooth depending on your taste, so it seemed pretty versatile. The mugwort, matcha, and black soybean flavors are also available individually at Olive Young, in case that's useful to know.

Since it's stick-type, it's easy to toss in a bag too, so it's perfect to bring along as a breakfast substitute or coffee alternative. My kid asked if this could be used to make mugwort rice cakes too. Oh~! Good idea~ haha.

How the mugwort soy milk tasted to my kid

At our house, I mixed it with lukewarm water in the morning and gave it to my kid. There was a bit of powder residue left, but the verdict was that it tasted nutty and was totally fine to drink.

My kid usually avoids green food, so a reaction like this counts as high praise, haha. When I smelled it, it was like misugaru (roasted grain powder) with a subtle hint of mugwort mixed in.

They say it has 7.2g of protein per cup, so I figured it could work well as a filling protein soy milk for breakfast too. I'm planning to have a cup myself after workouts. This time, we paired it with French toast.

Bread and soy milk turned out to go surprisingly well together, making for a decent breakfast. The distinct mugwort flavor wasn't too strong either, so my kid drank it without any fuss.

I tried mixing it warm and drinking it myself, and it definitely tasted better that way. It also dissolves well in cold water, so it's good for mixing up quickly when you're in a rush.

Final verdict on Garu Seonsaeng mugwort soy milk powder

With Korean soybeans and Korean mugwort as ingredients, I could give it to my kid with peace of mind, and being a powder made storage simple, so I found myself wanting to keep it stocked. For anyone struggling with what to give their kid for breakfast, I'd recommend this mugwort soy milk.
