🥛 RIPPLE MILK

As of April 2026, Ripple Milk is now officially a WIC approved item! The WIC program is expanding to include a wider variety of milk alternatives beyond soy milk to ensure more families have access to high-quality, plant-based nutrition.

What is it? It is a yellow pea-based, non-dairy alternative that is comparable with cow’s milk in protein and nutrition while being soy, nut and lactose-free! Ripple Milk is perfect for those who have these allergies.

What nutrients does it provide?

Delivers 8g of Plant-based protein for growing kiddos
Healthy omega-3 fatty acids which are essential for brain development and heart health
Prebiotic fiber to help regulate bowel movements
Higher amount of calcium than dairy milk
Lower sugar than cow’s milk

Ripple is not only nourishing for your body and gentle on the planet, but it's also a plant-based beverage that's unbelievably creamy and satisfying!

Let’s make this year Fiber-ful!

Everyone always talks about eating more fiber, but why is that?

It’s an essential part of a healthy diet. It helps with digestion, keeps kiddos tummies full longer and can even help support heart health. A low fiber diet has been linked to numerous childhood health concerns such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and constipation. However, this can be prevented by eating more fiber!

How much fiber should I be giving my child?

A simple way to make sure your children are getting enough is by making mindful healthy food choices. If your child is eating at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables each day along with other foods that are good sources of fiber, there really is no need to count fiber grams.

What are good sources of fiber?

Vegetables
Fruit
Beans
Peas
Nuts
Fiber-rich whole grain breads and cereals

Important to remember when adding more fiber to your child’s diet:

Do it slowly to prevent gas and bloating!
It is also important to make sure to INCREASE fluid intake. They should be drinking at least 1-2 cups more than their usual intake.
