GOLETA, Calif. — Kate Farms, the plant-based nutrition company and the No. 1 pediatrician-recommended brand, has expanded its retail reach with the introduction of Kids Nutrition shakes at select Walmart stores and on Walmart.com.
Designed for children aged 1 to 13, the plant-based shakes offer complete and balanced nutrition in three flavors: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Each serving contains 8 grams of organic pea protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and DHA for brain and eye health. The products are also free from common allergens, artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, and preservatives.
“We're excited to bring our Kids Nutrition shakes to Walmart stores and expand access to more families across the country,” said Tom Beecher, president of Kate Farms. “This reflects our mission to deliver high-quality, plant-based nutrition to families everywhere.”
Kate Farms developed Kids Nutrition to help ease parents’ concerns about ensuring their children get essential nutrients.
“Kids Nutrition was thoughtfully developed to ease parents' concerns while helping children get the nutrition they need to grow and thrive,” said Dr. Christina J. Valentine, MD, RDN, Chief Medical Officer at Kate Farms. “Now available at select Walmart stores and on Walmart.com, Kate Farms Kids Nutrition offers parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals greater access to high-quality, plant-based nutrition. With DHA to help support brain and eye development and added amino acids for a complete source of protein, it provides meaningful support for families focused on their child's healthy growth.”
The products are also available online, through medical channels (HCPCS Code B4160), and via WIC in more than 30 states.
Founded after a child named Kate struggled to tolerate traditional feeding formulas, the company has grown into a national presence, supplying products in more than 1,400 hospitals, through insurance coverage, and at major retailers including Target and Walmart. Kate Farms is part of Danone’s medical nutrition business, alongside Nutricia, Real Food Blends, and Functional Formularies.
