While almost three in four parents who purchase plant-based beverages want to purchase plant-based options specifically for their children, they often find options lacking. Silk Kids was expressly made to deliver the taste kids crave with the nutritional qualities parents want to provide. This first-of-its-kind [oat and pea blend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kall-oat-milk) made for kids ages five and up features eight grams of plant protein per serving to support muscle health, DHA omega-3 and choline to help support brain health, and good-for-the-gut prebiotics. With 50% less sugar than dairy milk, Silk Kids is as easy to enjoy on its own in a glass as it is over breakfast cereal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 30% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Enhanced Plant-based Milks:** Plant-based milk products are being reformulated to include additional health benefits tailored for specific age groups. - **Nutritional Innovations for Children:** New food and beverage products for kids are incorporating essential nutrients like DHA omega-3 and choline to support overall development. - **Reduced-sugar Alternatives:** Brands are creating lower-sugar alternatives to traditional dairy products to cater to health-conscious consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Plant-based Foods Industry:** The plant-based foods industry is rapidly expanding with a focus on child-friendly nutritious beverages. - **Health and Wellness Sector:** Companies in the health and wellness sector are increasingly developing products that combine taste with nutritional benefits targeted at children. - **Functional Foods Market:** Functional foods designed to improve specific health outcomes are seeing innovation with kid-specific nutrients in plant-based options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kid-Friendly Alt Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complete-kids.md) - [Kid-Friendly Milk Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiki-milk.md) - [Kid-Friendly Unsweetened Plant Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-foods.md) - [Kid-Friendly Canned Alt Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiddiwinks.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Kids Yogurt Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpro-kids.md) - [Kids' Plant-Based Nutritional Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smile-organic-co.md) - [Kid-Focused Nutritious Plant-Based Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-shake.md) - [Revolutionary Plant-Based Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-silk-nextmilk.md) - [Kid-Friendly Chickpea Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tally-foods-chickpea-milk.md)
