Ripple Kids Milk is a vegan milk that was developed with an eye to the nutritional needs of children. Based on protein from yellow split peas, Ripple Kids Milk has more protein in a serving than most brands of plant milk including almond milk, oat milk, and rice milk. Its protein content is similar to that of soymilk with a cup of Ripple Kids Milk providing 8 grams of protein. A cup of this product has 140 calories and 8 grams of fat, only 1 gram of which is saturated fat. It is sweetened with cane sugar and has 5 grams of added sugar per cup.<\/p>\n

Ripple Kids Milk is fortified with calcium, magnesium, riboflavin, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin D, choline, and DHA. The product is free of gluten and nuts and is non-GMO Project verified. It provides an alternative to calcium\/vitamin D\/vitamin B12-fortified soymilk and is distinguished by supplying a couple of nutrients that tend to be low in vegan diets \u2013 DHA and choline. A cup of Ripple Kids Milk has 50 milligrams of DHA and 55 milligrams of choline. There is no RDA for DHA or choline; recommendations often suggest 200-300 milligrams of DHA and 250 milligrams of choline per day for children.<\/p>\n

Ripple Kids should never be used to replace infant formulas and is not suitable for use as a primary beverage for children under a year of age.<\/p>\n
