Protein powders can work, but kids and powders do not always get along. Here is what to consider, plus a gummy alternative.
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.
Open the bag and eat.
Nothing to stir into a cup.
No shaker to wash.
A bag of 35 gummies is seven servings, in a resealable pouch you can toss in a backpack.
