Kids protein powder: the short version

Powders need a scoop, a liquid and a shaker. They can clump, taste chalky or stain a backpack. Many kids refuse them after a week.

If that is your house, a gummy may be easier. Punchies give 1g of protein per gummy and 5g for a five-gummy serving, with no prep at all. Full label: Punchies.

No mixing

Open the bag and eat.

No clumps

Nothing to stir into a cup.

No cleanup

No shaker to wash.
