a hydrolyzed whole grain composition; an alpha-amylase or fragment thereof, which alpha-amylase or fragment thereof shows no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers when in the active state; a sugar or non-sugar sweetener content below 15% by weight of the cereal milk drink; the cereal milk drink comprises at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of calcium at a fortified concentration, vitamin A at a fortified concentration, vitamin D at a fortified concentration, zinc at a fortified concentration, iron at a fortified concentration or any combination thereof; and the cereal milk drink has a viscosity of 1-300 mPa·s. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, comprising a protease or fragments thereof, at a concentration of 0.001-5% by weight of the total whole grain content, which protease or fragment thereof shows no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers when in the active state. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the drink does not comprise a beta-amylase. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the drink does not comprise the protease. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the cereal milk drink comprises a flavor component. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the flavor is selected from the group consisting of cocoa, vanilla, honey, fruit and vegetable flavor. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the cereal milk drink comprises an amyloglucosidase or fragments thereof showing no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers when in the active state. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the cereal milk drink comprises an glucose isomerase or fragment thereof, which glucose isomerase or fragment thereof showing no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers when in the activate state. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, having a total content of the whole grain in the range of 1-30% by weight of the cereal milk drink. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the hydrolyzed whole grain composition has a substantial intact beta-glucan structure relative to the starting material. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the hydrolyzed whole grain composition has a substantial intact arabinoxylan structure relative to the starting material. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the cereal milk drink has a maltose to glucose ratio of less than 144:1. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The cereal milk drink for infants according to claim 1, wherein the cereal milk drink is fortified with at least one component selected from the group consisting of vitamin A at a concentration of 20-200 mcg Retinol Equivalent/100 g, vitamin D at a concentration of 0.1-5 mcg/100 g, zinc at a concentration in the range of 0.2-2 mg/100 g and iron at a concentration of 0.5-5 mg/100 g. ### Claim 14 A process for preparing a cereal milk drink comprising: preparing a hydrolyzed whole grain composition, comprising the steps of: contacting a whole grain component with an enzyme composition in water, the enzyme composition comprising at least one alpha-amylase, the enzyme composition showing no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers, allowing the enzyme composition to react with the whole grain component, to provide a whole grain hydrolysate, and providing the hydrolyzed whole grain composition by inactivating the enzymes when the hydrolysate has reached a viscosity comprised between 50 and 5000 mPa·s measured at 65° C.; providing the cereal milk drink for infants by mixing the hydrolyzed whole grain composition with a milk component and an ingredient selected from the group consisting of at least one of calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, zinc, iron and any combination thereof, providing a cereal milk drink with a sugar or non-sugar sweetener content below 15% and a viscosity of 1-300 mPa·s. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The process according to claim 14, wherein the hydrolyzed whole grain composition is prepared when the hydrolysate has reached a total solid content of 25-60%.
