gnubees are nutritious drinks for kids that are made with coconut cream and orange juice, plus ingredients to provide eight grams of protein, four grams of fiber and Vitamins C and D. These beverages, packaged in [squeezable pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-packs), share the benefits of grass-fed protein and formulas that are low-glycemic, environmentally friendly, gluten-free and fueled by clean ingredients.

These [kid-friendly protein drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoplait-gogurt-protein) can be found in enticing flavors like Lemon Limelight (which is likened to key lime pie yogurt, cheesecake or lemon ice cream,) the milkshake-like Strawberry Wise and Grape Aspirations (said to be comparable to fruity bubblegum or a grape juicebox combined with a shake.)

These nutritious beverages for kids can now be found in bold, brightly colored packaging that emphasizes modern shapes and fresh fruit silhouettes.
