    Ripple Kids is the Plant-Based Milk Developed with Pediatricians

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 1, 2021 Dairy-Free Milk Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    Almost daily, I read questions from parents who are transitioning their dairy-free child off formula. They want a healthy milk alternative that meets the needs of their new toddler. Ripple Kids might be their answer. It’s top allergen-free and was developed with pediatricians to support optimal nutrition for kids ages one to five years old. Each sip contains DHA omega-3s, choline, and prebiotic fiber, and each serving rivals dairy milk in protein, calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin, and other vitamins and minerals.

    Ripple Kids Plant-Based Milk Reviews and Information - The first dairy-free, vegan milk alternative developed with pediatricians for kids 1 to 5 years old.

    Ripple Kids is the Plant-Based Milk Developed with Pediatricians

    It contains less than half the sugar of dairy milk, but we’ve heard that Ripple Kids is little one-approved. Be sure to leave your own rating and review below once you (and your kids!) try it.

    Original

    Ripple Kids Plant-Based Milk Reviews and Information - The first dairy-free, vegan milk alternative developed with pediatricians for kids 1 to 5 years old.Ingredients: water, pea protein blend (water, pea protein), sunflower oil, cane sugar, contains less than 1% of soluble corn fiber, magnesium citrate, riboflavin, vitamin b12, dha algal oil, choline bitartrate, vitamin a palmitate, vitamin d2, dipotassium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, sunflower lecithin, sea salt, mixed tocopherols, natural flavor, guar gum, gellan gum.*

    Nutrition (per 1 cup): 140 calories, 8g fat, 8g carbs, 2g fiber, 5g sugars (includes 5g added sugars), 8g protein. Fortified with the following RDA percentages: 10% vitamin A, 35% calcium, 30% vitamin D, 45% vitamin B12, 10% potassium, 35% riboflavin, 40% phosphorous, 10% choline.*

    Allergen Note*

    Ripple isn’t big enough (yet!) to have their own dedicated manufacturing facility. And some of the manufacturing plants they work with do handle top allergen ingredients​,​ ​and they do share production lines with some top allergen ingredients. However,​ Ripple does have an extensive allergen management program in place to protect their ingredients and production lines from potential allergen contamination. You can read more about their Allergen Program.

    My 1 year old is OBSESSED with this milk

    Rated 5 out of 5
    May 15, 2022

    We breastfed up until she turned 13 months. Then we transitioned her to whole cows milk. Found out she has FPIES to cows milk. So we’ve gone completely dairy free. The first 3 days on Kids Ripple Milk she would only take a few drinks at a time. By day 4 she became obsessed and loves it now. From everything I’ve researched, this is the nondairy milk kids should have! 😁

    I have been giving this to my baby since she transitioned off formula/breastmilk and she is turning 3 next month. Never had any issues, she tolerates well, no constipation and no major nutritional deficiencies. Highly recommend.

    After a year of drinking it, tot is now allergic to it

    My kiddo (2 years old) loved this milk for the past year till the past two weeks, when he started puking at night and having diarrhea after drinking it. We even encouraged our local store to buy this milk, but unfortunately have to move on to something else now since he gets so sick from it now. Our guess is it’s the pea protein that is disagreeable for him.

    Added sugar?

    Rated 4 out of 5
    November 2, 2021

    I realize that Ripple Kids has less sugar overall than dairy milk.. but glucose is way different than lactose! Does anyone know what the difference is on nutrition? If my kid was 5 I may not mind this amount of sugar, but for my just-toddler, it seems like sort of a lot of added cane sugar to give her every day. Am considering mixing it with the plain Ripple for this reason.

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    It’s equivalent to 1.33 teaspoons of sugar per 1 cup. Lactose is a disaccharide made of two monosaccharides: glucose and galactose. So it isn’t different, lactose is made of glucose.

    A life-saver for our son!

    I can’t tell you how happy I am that my son’s pediatrician recommended this milk for him once he was over a year. My now 16-month-old son has a peanut allergy that was detected at 9 months. Since other nuts came back as a possible allergy too, we were told to stay away from all nuts and especially peanuts until he is at least two years old and gets retested.
    With that being said, we are also raising our son plant-based so we were limited on our milk options once he was done with formula. My son’s pediatrician recommended Ripple Kids because it is nut-free, dairy-free, not to mention it is fortified, and even had more calcium than cow’s milk. We are so happy with this product and wish it was sold at more locations! Right now we can get it at some Targets and all Whole Food stores here in Wisconsin.
    To anyone out there that wants good plant-based milk for their growing child, or has a child with allergies, I HIGHLY recommend trying Ripple Kids. Also, if you reach out to the company, you can also receive coupons. They have AMAZING customer service, ask to talk to Sophie. She is wonderful and we monthly talk through e-mail.
    This milk was a life-saver for our family and I am so happy that there is a safe and healthy option for my son!
