Obesity among children is making headlines around the world, generating a vocal and energetic movement across society. Food and beverage manufacturers are being challenged to address the obesity problem by offering more products for children that are supportive of recognized parameters for good nutrition.
Children grow fast and because so much of their future well-being depends on healthy development, they need high-quality protein. As a solution, Hilmar Ingredients offers a variety of formulations for kid-friendly foods and beverages fortified with whey proteins. Whey proteins are complete proteins providing the essential amino acids in an optimum blend for human consumption. Whey proteins have a PER of 3.2, a “perfect” PDCAAS of 1.00 and have a low glycemic load at 2 per 100 grams for concentrates and <1 for whey protein isolates.
One example of Hilmar Ingredients’ formulations for kids is the Birthday Cake Crispy Bar. At only 100 calories, the formulation for this fun-flavored bar uses a special blend of whey protein isolate, concentrate and hydrolysate. The crisps are also made with Hilmar whey protein and are a nutritious alternative to traditional crisps and granola. Along with protein, the formulation includes critical vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D and calcium. And the bar’s nutritional parameters adhere to the requirements established by the American Heart Association, Alliance for a Healthier Generation and U.S. School Nutrition Guidelines.
