Best Protein for KidsHow to compare protein snacks for kids: bars, gummies, shakes and more
Protein bars, shakes, yogurts and gummies all promise protein. They are quite different on the details.
Four things to compare
Protein per serving, sugar per serving, prep needed, and ingredient list. Write them next to each other for two or three products and the winner for your child usually becomes clear.
Where gummies fit
A protein gummy is the lowest-prep option: open the bag and eat. Punchies list 5g of protein and under 4g of sugar for a 5-gummy serving, made with no dyes and no seed oils.
Remember the context
Snacks are not meals. Keep the bigger picture in mind and ask your pediatrician about anything unusual. Another take on this: Vitamin C and vitamin D: basics for parents on immunesupportsupplements.com.
A fair comparison table
Write down serving size, protein, sugar and calories for each candidate. A bar can have several times the protein of a gummy, and several times the calories as well. Neither is better in the abstract; they suit different moments in the day.
