Eggs, yogurt, beans, chicken and nut butters do most of the work. Here is how to think about protein for kids, and where a protein gummy can fit in a busy day.
Most parents never need to count grams. Meals and snacks built around familiar foods usually cover the basics. Where families get stuck is the in-between: the picky stretch, the sports-bag snack, the school morning that fell apart.
That is where a small add-on can help. Punchies are protein gummies with 1g per gummy, so a 5-gummy serving gives 5g of protein, 34 calories and under 4g of sugar. No powders, no shaker, no prep. Full label: best protein for kids.
Build plates around protein foods you already like. Gummies are a side, not the plan.
Five gummies is a serving. Count them out and you are done.
A 60-day money-back guarantee lets you try them with your picky eater.
Bags hold 35 gummies, or 7 servings. Multi-bag packs of 5, 10 and 15 are available, in single flavors or a variety mix.

Instead of chasing a number each day, look at the week. Did your child eat eggs, dairy, meat or beans a few times? Fruit and vegetables most days? If so, you are probably fine. If not, a small add-on is a gentle nudge, and your pediatrician can say whether anything more is needed.
It depends on age, size and activity, so there is no single number to quote here. Your pediatrician or a registered dietitian can give you a target for your child.
The store states that Punchies are made without artificial dyes and without seed oils. Colors come from fruit and vegetable juices.
The store offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. Check the store page for current terms.
No. They are a snack and do not replace meals. Ask your pediatrician about your child's diet.
