GERBER^® GRADUATES^® SMART SIPS™

Overview Product Information Related Products FAQ's

SMART SIPS is the all-new nutritious beverage that helps fill important nutrient gaps in your toddler’s diet.

Made with delicious and nutritious fat-free milk, SMART SIPS beverages are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fat for healthy growth and development. There’s no room for added sugar, preservatives, or artificial flavors. And of course, we use milk produced without the use of added growth hormones or antibiotics.

Research shows that many toddlers don’t get enough iron, calcium, or vitamins D & E. In fact, 100% of toddlers have vitamins E intakes below the recommended level. Also, many toddlers eat too much saturated fat and not enough essential omega-3 fats*.

That’s why SMART SIPS beverages are packed with 15 essential vitamins and minerals and omega-3 fat** to support your toddler’s healthy growth and development.

*FITS, 2002
**140mg omega-3 fat (alpha linolenic acid) per serving
