BROOMFIELD, COLO. — Danone North America’s Silk brand introduced a new plant-based alternative milk formulated for children.

Silk Kids contains oats and peas, as well as 8 grams of protein per serving, the company said.

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

Silk Kids, developed for children aged 5 and older, is packaged in 59 oz cartons.

Danone North America said the new alternative dairy beverage will appear on select retail shelves this fall, with a larger rollout expected in 2025.
