Vita Coco Kids available at Target stores nationwide in July
New York-based Vita Coco launched Vita Coco Kids, a new line of coconut water beverages formulated especially for children between the ages of 2 and 8. The new beverages will be available in Apple Island, Paradise Punch and Very Cherry Beach flavors.
All three varieties contain natural, nutrient-dense and electrolyte-filled coconut water, filtered water, natural fruit flavors and vitamin C, the company says. With 35 calories and 8 grams of sugar in each 6-ounce serving, Vita Coco Kids has fewer calories and approximately half the sugar of most other children’s beverages, it adds. In addition, Vita Coco Kids beverages do not contain artificial sweeteners and provide potassium — a nutrient that both children and adults don’t get enough of, according to U.S. Dietary Guidelines.
