JUST FOR KIDS
Dannon brought its yogurt to the U.S. in 1942 and launched Danimals in 1994 as the company's first product designed just for kids. Danimals created a new generation of yogurt that’s fun, portable, kid-loved and parent-approved.
Danimals pouches and smoothies are nutrient-dense snacks with a taste kids love and nutrients they need to grow healthy. Each serving provides a good source of calcium, vitamin D and fiber—three nutrients that most kids don’t get enough of throughout the day. Calcium and vitamin D support strong bones and gut-friendly fiber is important for a balanced diet, yet these nutrients are under-consumed by most children.
No. Danimals are colored using fruit and vegetable juice.
We recommend serving Danimals to children 4 years of age and older.
Calcium
Calcium is the building block for strong bones, and most kids don’t get enough of it each day. Calcium is especially important during periods of rapid growth, such as in childhood, to support growing, healthy bones.

FIBER
Dietary fiber is an important part of a balanced diet, yet most kids do not get enough. The gut-friendly fiber* in Danimals helps nourish good bacteria in the gut and contributes to kids’ daily fiber needs—making it easier to help close the fiber gap.
*Contains 3g fiber per serving, which helps feed the good bacteria in the gut. Serve as part of a balanced diet. ***Fiber: Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University. (n.d.). Fiber.

VITAMIN D
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, a mineral essential for building strong bones. Yet nearly 90% of kids aren’t getting enough vitamin D to support this important process.
