Silk is introducing Silk Kids, the brand's first-ever plant-based beverage made with an oatmilk blend crafted for children ages five and up. Silk Kids was developed with pediatricians to deliver enhanced nutritional benefits to support growing kids flavor kids love.
Made with a unique, deliciously creamy oat and pea blend, Silk Kids delivers 8 grams of plant protein per serving to help support muscle health, DHA omega-3 and choline to help support brain health and prebiotics that are good for bellies. With 50% less sugar than dairy milk, parents can feel great about reaching for Silk Kids to serve their kids throughout the day.
"Delivering on both taste and nutrition is imperative, especially when it comes to nourishing kids," said Kristie Leigh, registered dietitian and director of nutrition and scientific affairs at Danone North America. "That's why we developed Silk Kids – to provide targeted nutrition kids need in a plant-based beverage they'll love, because mealtime shouldn't be a struggle."
To amp up the fun during meals and snack-time, Silk Kids packaging also features "Spot the Bees," an interactive game on the back panel of the carton with eye-catching designs and illustrations about sustainability programs.
Silk Kids is available in a refrigerated multi-serve 59-ounce carton, available now on select shelves this fall with a larger nationwide rollout starting in early 2025.
