Super exciting news!! Have you heard about the new, healthy snack that’s made for picky kids and pickier parents? It’s called Daily Sunshine, and I think you’re going to love it. This brand-new healthy smoothie is a delicious snack for kids that comes in two kid-friendly flavors. Plus, it’s made with organic fruits and vegetables.* But, if you’re a picky parent, I know you’ve got questions. And I’m here with answers!
What is Daily Sunshine?
Daily Sunshine is a healthy ORGANIC 3-in-1 smoothie for kids that’s been designed specifically for their unique dietary needs. Beachbody knows how hard it is to get kids to eat right, so their goal was to not only create a healthy snack you feel good about them having but also make an easy snack that they’d actually ask for!
The Daily Sunshine smoothie comes in two flavors: smooth and creamy Chocolate and fruity and sweet Strawberry Banana. Each is made with organic fruits and vegetables,* organic pea protein, and healthy fats, and has 3 grams of fiber, probiotics from Bacillus coagulans, vitamins C & E, calcium, and vitamin D.
In short, Daily Sunshine has carefully been formulated to include the building blocks of nutrition kids need to help them grow up healthy and strong.
The ingredients in Daily Sunshine differ slightly depending on which flavor you choose. But both the Chocolate and Strawberry Banana flavors have a fruit and veggie blend of apple, sweet potato, flaxseed, spinach, blueberry, acerola cherry, and strawberry.
The creators were just as careful about what they didn’t put in Daily Sunshine as what they did put in there. That’s why Daily Sunshine is soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and non-GMO, and it contains NO artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives!
WHY IS DAILY SUNSHINE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SMOOTHIES?
Most kids’ smoothies require trade-offs. They may have protein, but no veggies. Or fruit, but no healthy fats. Daily Sunshine is a 3-in-1 balance of a fruit and vegetable blend, plant-based proteins, and healthy fats:
- Made with organic fruits and vegetables
- Made with organic pea protein
- Made with ALA omega-3 fatty acids
- Formulated with fiber, probiotics, antioxidant vitamins C & E, calcium, and vitamin D
- Nutritionist developed
- Pediatrician-approved formula
- Kid-approved taste
- Certified organic by QAI
- Soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and non-GMO
- No artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives
THE DAILY SUNSHINE REAL-FOOD PHILOSOPHY
Beachbody’s philosophy is to use ingredients that are as close as possible to their natural, whole-food state to help maximize their nutrition and still make it convenient so that it can be enjoyed on a daily basis. With their expertise in making Shakeology, they know how to deliver superior nutrition—and make sure it tastes delicious. Daily Sunshine starts with whole organic fruits and vegetables, which are carefully inspected and thoroughly washed. Then they’re pureed, strained to remove any unwanted seeds and stems, dried, and ground to a powder. That’s how they deliver whole-food ingredients in a healthy, delicious smoothie every day.
How do I make Daily Sunshine?
If you’re a busy parent you’ll love that Daily Sunshine smoothies are quick to prepare. Just mix one serving with 8 fl. oz. water, shake it up, and you’ve got a healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free snack!
Will my kids like Daily Sunshine?
Sources say yes! Daily Sunshine has been rigorously taste-tested by the toughest critics… kids! Beachbody knows how hard it is to help your kids eat healthy, which is why they worked hard to make Daily Sunshine a healthy smoothie that has a taste that’s kid-approved! They can enjoy it in the mornings on the way to school, as part of their lunch, as an after-school snack, or even between soccer practice and music lessons.
At our annual conference earlier this month I was able to pick up and bring home some of the first samples of Daily Sunshine for the boys to try! Ethan was a fan of both the Strawberry Banana AND the Chocolate, while Bradley who doesn’t like Bananas preferred the Chocolate.
Daily Sunshine vs Shakeology. What’s the difference?
Daily Sunshine provides key nutrients in a simple yet healthy formula designed for young, growing bodies. Shakeology focuses on providing an array of exotic superfoods, adaptogens, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, and other important nutrients for adult bodies. While they both have unique ingredients, Daily Sunshine and Shakeology contain some overlapping essential ingredients, but at different levels, in order to suit the nutritional needs of kids and adults.
Here is Daily Sunshine’s Strawberry Banana Nutrition Facts label and Daily Sunshine’s Chocolate Nutrition Facts label so you can check it out!
Can I drink both Daily Sunshine and Shakeology?
Yes, adults can drink both Daily Sunshine and Shakeology every day. They were designed to complement a healthy diet. Drink your Shakeology as you usually do, and then have Daily Sunshine as a healthy snack whenever you need a quick pick-me-up. It’s a great way to satisfy a sweet craving without sabotaging your health and fitness goals. Shakeology was created to fill a specific need for a nutrient-dense shake packed with powerful ingredients. Many parents who love Shakeology also want to offer their kids a truly healthy shake. Daily Sunshine provides key nutrients in a simple, healthy formula for kids.
Is it OK to mix Daily Sunshine with Shakeology?
Beachbody doesn’t recommend mixing Daily Sunshine and Shakeology into one shake. The reason is because these products were designed to be prepared individually and are not intended to be mixed with other Beachbody Nutritional products, including the Beachbody Performance line.
Why is there sugar in Daily Sunshine?
Why does Shakeology count as 1 red container while Daily Sunshine counts as ½ green, ½ purple, and ½ red?
Shakeology contains between 16 to 17 grams of protein and between 140 to 170 calories per serving depending on the flavor. This makes it perfect for one red container. It also contains a vast array of other nutrients, but given how wide-ranging and exotic they are, they don’t fit as neatly into a specific container. Daily Sunshine, on the other hand, contains less protein (10 grams), so ½ red makes sense. It also contains the equivalent of a full serving of fruits and vegetables.* Because this is done using a combination of both types of produce, the most accurate representation is ½ purple and ½ green.
*Concentrated powder equivalent to 1 full serving of fruits and vegetables, ⅝ serving of fruit ((Chocolate — 4.45 g dried apple, strawberry, and blueberry powders) (Strawberry Banana — 4.5 g dried apple, strawberry, banana, and blueberry powders)) and ⅜ serving of veggies (1.95 g dried sweet potato and spinach powders) per smoothie. Each 28 g serving (1 scoop) provides the equivalent of ½ cup fruits and vegetables (volume before drying).
