Ripple Kids is a new, allergen-free plant-based milk for kids between the ages of one to five and it was developed with the expert aid of pediatricians. The alternative beverage is packed with nutritious value in the form of vitamins, minerals, DHA omega-3s, choline and prebiotic fiber, plus calcium that's comparable to traditional dairy milk drinks. The nutritious formula also boasts less than half the sugar of dairy milk.
Made with a base of pea protein, sunflower oil for richness and an ultra-smooth texture and other functional ingredients, Ripple Kids has the potential to be enjoyed as-is or blended into everything from smoothies and added to breakfast cereal bowls. The 100% vegan product is not only nut-free but also made without soy, lactose, gluten and GMO ingredients, with a taste that promises to please kids and adults alike.
