Danone North America’s plant-based Silk brand is launching Silk Kids, an oat milk blend crafted especially for children ages five and above.

The drink was developed with pediatricians to deliver enhanced nutritional benefits for supporting growing children.

Made with a creamy oat and pea blend, Silk Kids delivers 8g of plant-based protein per serving to help support muscle health. It also offers DHA omega-3 and choline for brain health benefits, and 2g of prebiotics per serving to feed the good bacteria in the gut.

Danone said the drink also contains 50% less sugar than dairy options – 5g of sugar per cup, compared with around 11g per cup in typical reduced fat dairy milk products.

Kristi Leigh, registered dietician and director of nutrition and scientific affairs at Danone North America, said: “Delivering on both taste and nutrition is imperative, especially when it comes to nourishing kids. 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.”

Sil Kids is available in a refrigerated multi-serve 59 oz carton, available now on select shelves, with a nationwide roll-out starting in early 2025.
