    Danimals gets new recipe

    Danimals is debuting a brand-new look and nutrient-dense recipe.

    The enhanced recipe helps make snack time more nutritious, without asking parents to change the snacks their kids already love, the company said. The updated recipe was designed to make it easier for parents to choose a snack that offers both a great taste kids love and key nutrients that parents can feel good about, especially during the busy, less-structured days of summer. Danimals smoothies now contain 25% less total sugar than the prior smoothie recipe, and the new formula contains no flavors or colors from artificial sources and no high-fructose corn syrup. 

    "We know parents are trying to balance what their kids ask for with what they feel good about serving. This updated recipe was inspired by what parents told us they wanted – snacks that taste great while offering meaningful nutrition," said Anne Laraway, head of Kids Brands, Danone USA. "That's what helped guide these updates – keeping our kid-loved taste, while improving the nutrition with less sugar and added fiber, all coming to you from the beloved Danimals brand."

    To celebrate the new recipe, Danimals is teaming up with Pediatric Registered Dietitian, Dani Lebovitz, MS, RDN, of Kid Food Explorers and MAGNA-TILES, to launch the Let Them Be Giant Summer Pledge.

    The initiative brings nutrition education to life through engaging, interactive tools that encourage learning through STEAM inspired play, making it easier for parents to support their growing kids all summer long.

    "Feeding kids over the summer can feel like a lot. Routines shift, kids are constantly hungry and parents are rushing to pack lunchboxes for camp without wanting to overthink every choice," said Lebovitz. "As a dietitian and mom, I know what it's like to want easy, realistic options that kids love and parents feel good about. Summer also creates so many natural opportunities for kids to learn about food from packing picnics for play dates at the park, to sharing snacks by the pool and trying new foods along the way. That's why I'm excited to partner with Danimals to give families simple, expert-backed tips and snack inspiration that make summer feeding feel easier, more fun and less stressful."
