Active children may balance frequent, intense participation in sport along with transitioning through rapid periods of growth. If they are selective eaters, or skip meals, this places them at a greater risk of nutritional deficiencies.

NUTRI-TEEN was developed by evaluating their most common nutritional deficiencies and the heightened need for specific nutrients important for growth and development.

These include calcium, vitamin D, phosphorous, vitamin B12, vitamin B6 plus a lot more, which you can learn about here.

The following will give you a guide as to how much NUTRI-TEEN Powder your active chilr may include as part of a varied diet, whilst encouraging them to eat good wholesome foods every day.

If your child has health issues, we recommend you consult your doctor or relevant clinical professional before allowing them to consume NUTRI-TEEN.

Please note the below values are present as guidelines only, and that is important that youth athletes do not exceed the stated daily recommended amounts:

Children Under 4: NUTRI-TEEN is not suitable for babies or infants below or during weaning age. Parents of children under 4 years old should consult their doctor or relevant health care professional before allowing their child to consume PRO-TEEN.

4- to 6-Year-Olds: We always advocate a food first approach for younger participants. The aim here being to set nutritional foundations for life, but we understand selective eating can sometime be an issue. If necessary, Children of 4 to 6 years of age may include up to ¼ of a scoop (about 12.5g) NUTRI-TEEN per day. This is around one quarter of their daily nutrient requirements and can be a great recovery snack to ensure your child is getting a range of vitamins and minerals in after sport. Always consult a qualified medical practitioner first if you are unsure about introducing NUTRI-TEEN into their diet.

7- to 10-Year-Olds: 7- to 10-year-olds can enjoy ½ a scoop (about 25g) of NUTRI-TEEN per day, which would help them meet their daily nutrition needs to counter selective eating habits. NUTRI-TEEN is ideal for fussy kids who won’t eat enough fruit and veg to support high levels of participation in sport. Again, athletes within this age group should be encouraged to meet their daily recommended intake via whole foods first.

11- to 13-Year-Olds: Young adolescents can include around ¾ of 1 scoop (about 37.5g) of NUTRI-TEEN a day. At this growth spurt age, energy requirements are high, especially in active athletic kids; NUTRI-TEEN provides a good contribution of protein, energy and vitamins for this age group.

13- to 18+-Year-Olds: Older adolescents have, in most cases, nutritional requirements greater than those of adults due to the fact that they’re growing, they’re often as physically active as professional athletes and have to balance this against studying at school or college. This age group can enjoy 1 full scoop of NUTRI-TEEN (50g) freely as part of a balanced, varied diet after intense sport or on low activity days.

NUTRI-TEEN was developed to ensure that the heightened and unique nutritional needs of a youth athlete that can’t be catered for from a regular healthy diet, can be provided in both a convenient, delicious and efficient manner after sport.

Each super-tasty shake is packed with specially selected vitamins, minerals, carbs, protein and healthy fats - the ideal alternative to skipping meals or eating junk/fast food.

NUTRI-TEEN Shakes are a food powder with added nutrients to support normal growth, immunity, general health and wellbeing for active children and youth athletes.

Although not designed as a weight loss tool, NUTRI-TEEN Shakes are calorie controlled shakes that can double up as a meal replacements that may support weight loss, but that is not the main intention of the range.

If anything, they exist to help active children meet their daily nutritional intake to support heightened activity levels or to counteract selective / fussy eating which can leave them undernourished.

As a rule, we don't like to overemphasize the impact of shakes on body composition for active children, as the large contributing factors are their overall diet and lifestyle, coupled with normal phases of growth and development.

To reap the benefits of NUTRI-TEEN powder, we recommend consuming within 30-60 minutes post-play with water or milk whenever whole foods aren't available.

Due to its rich nutritional content, NUTRI-TEEN Shakes can also double up as a meal replacement for times where meals aren't an option on low activity days.

They're super quick and easy to use.

Simply mix one scoop with milk or water in the free shaker provided (first time orders only), shake it up and watch your kids devour it! Make sure the liquid goes into your shaker before the powder.

Pro tip: You can also use NUTRI-TEEN Powder with smoothies, porridges, greek yoghurts and pancakes for breakfast for an added protein, omega 3/6, vitamin and mineral boost.. Yum!

Yes, each and every pouch is Informed Sport approved and screened for WADA prohibited contaminants so you can have full drug free assurance.

Because our powder range is ulta fine, it should be a silky smooth texture when mixed properly 🙂

All first orders come complete with a free shaker. The shaker contains a detachable grid which acts as a sieve, and you can also add in a mixer ball which blitzes any lumps.

We have a lot of kids with braces using the range, so having a grainy texture wasn't an option for us.
