GRADUATES® SMART SIPS™ dairy beverages are delicious everyday beverages specially designed for toddlers that can help fill important nutrient gaps in your child’s diet.
They’re made with a NUTRIPROTECT™ blend that provides your child with nutrients for healthy growth and natural immune support, such as iron, zinc, and antioxidant vitamins A, C & E. SMART SIPS dairy beverages have no preservatives or artificial colors. SMART SIPS dairy beverages are produced without the use of added growth hormones or antibiotics.*
According to the Nestlé Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) 2008, some toddlers don’t get enough vitamin E and potassium. In fact, on a given day more than half of toddlers (age 1 year) have vitamin E intakes below the recommended level and virtually no children ages 1 to 3 are consuming the daily recommended intake of potassium. In addition, nearly 23% of toddlers ages 12 to 24 months don’t eat the recommended amount of total fat on a given day.**
That’s why SMART SIPS dairy beverages are packed with 15 essential vitamins and minerals to help fill important nutrient gaps. They have 310mg of potassium per serving toward the recommended 3000mg daily amount and 25% of the daily value for vitamin E. In addition, they have omega-3 fat*** and iron for healthy brain development. They’re available in three flavors: Plain, Vanilla, and Strawberry.
