    Koia introduces plant-based nutrition shakes

    Koia launched Koia Kids, a line of organic plant-based nutrition shakes created to meet kids’ unique nutritional needs. The new line combines kid-approved taste and flavors with expert-approved nutrition, providing a convenient, delicious, and balanced way to nourish growing families, the company stated.

    Now available exclusively on Amazon, Koia Kids offers three flavors: Chocolate Shake, Vanilla Shake, and Fruity Cereal.

    The inspiration for Koia Kids came from CEO Chris Hunter's own home, where his three young boys enjoyed Koia protein shakes but often left bottles half-finished, leading to the idea of perfectly portioned shakes for smaller appetites. Determined to develop a drink designed just for kids, Koia consulted with registered dietitians, wellness experts, parents, and Hunter’s wife Melanie, a holistic nutritionist, to create a recipe that supplements the areas where kids’ daily nutrition is "frequently lacking."

    “Launching Koia Kids is a major milestone for us as a company, and feels particularly special for me, as my wife and boys were involved in its creation,” said Hunter. “For over a decade, we’ve cultivated a strong relationship with our consumers by providing delicious, plant-based protein shakes. With Koia Kids, we’re extending that trust to encompass their children’s nutrition — a responsibility we embraced with care in developing this line. We’re proud of every ingredient in these recipes and thrilled to offer Koia Kids exclusively on Amazon, making enhanced nutrition more accessible for families everywhere.”

    Koia Kids features:

    ● Only 4g of sugar: 66% less than other popular kids' protein shakes

    ● Zero seed oils: The first and only protein shakes for kids made with avocado oil

    ● 9g of complete plant protein:

    ● Free of top nine allergens: Made with a creamy oat milk base suitable for children with common allergies

    ● Fortified with 21 essential vitamins and minerals: Supplements dietary needs that may be lacking

    ● One serving of fruits and veggies: Fulfills one of five suggested servings per day

    Koia Kids is sold at a suggested retail price of $34.99 for a 12-pack of 8-oz. shakes.
