Not all carbs are created equal, especially for children! At KendaKids, we don’t believe in shortcuts. We’re all about giving growing kids the best nutrition as close to nature as possible. That’s why our Vita-Boost Shake starts with European whole milk with lactose as our carbohydrate source—making our shakes creamier and naturally sweet.
The Natural Goodness of European Whole Milk
Our shakes are made with the goodness of European whole milk sourced from grass-fed cows on family farms. Whole milk is a natural powerhouse of fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and essential nutrients. Good milk fats further support growing brains, while Vitamin D helps boost calcium absorption for strong bones and teeth. Unlike other kids’ shakes, relying on protein powders, our whole milk recipe ensures children start with the building blocks of a complete nutrient profile to support healthy growth and development.
The Sweet Truth About Carbs: Lactose vs. Added Sugar
Did you know that around 45-65% of our calories should come from carbohydrates since carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy? The carbohydrates (aka sugar) in KendaKids Vita-Boost Shake come from lactose, the natural sugar found in whole milk. Unlike sucrose, corn syrup, and maltodextrin (aka added sugars), which typically cause energy spikes, lactose provides a steady, slow-release energy source that keeps them going strong throughout the day.
Why Lactose is a Win-Win for Kids:
Steady Energy: Forget about those high-glycemic carbs like corn syrup and maltodextrin that send blood sugar on a rollercoaster ride. Lactose, the natural sugar in our shake, has a lower glycemic index, which means it digests slowly and provides a smooth, steady rise in blood sugar. Say hello to balanced energy and goodbye to those sugar spikes!
No Added Sugars: We’re all about keeping our recipes as close to nature as possible. Lactose, found naturally in milk, is our go-to because it’s a less processed alternative to added sugars like corn syrup or table sugar. With KendaKids, you get all the goodness without the guilt!
Choosing KendaKids Vita-Boost Shake is choosing a natural boost for growing kids. Made with European whole milk and free from added sugars, our shake delivers balanced energy and essential nutrients. KendaKids is available nationwide at Target.
