Alpro Kids is a new range of plant-based dairy alternative products created with parental concerns surrounding healthy eating in mind that don't skimp on flavor or fun.
The products include an oat-based drink in a chocolate flavor alongside a strawberry-flavored soy drink, while the soy-based yogurt alternative comes in vanilla and strawberry flavors. The new range is dairy-free, vegan-friendly and perfect for families on the hunt for plant-based dairy items. The new products are also reported to contain 30% less sugar than similar kids-targeted dairy items with calcium, iodine and vitamins D2, B2 and B12 fortified into each serving.
Danone, Head of Category Management and Commercial Planning - Plant Based Tom Kerr commented on the Alpro Kids range saying, "Parents face the challenge of finding foods that are both nutritious and appealing to their children on a daily basis. Our new Alpro Kids range addresses this dilemma by offering genuinely delicious plant-based options that kids love, providing a source of essential nutrients for healthy growth – all with less sugar than comparable products."
