PediaSure 200mL for Children 1-10 years old | Carton of 30

Lifesaver for my Daughter. She can't tolerate powdered or other brands.

Pediasure is an absolute staple for my Miss to supplement on top of regular meals for several years now. If you have kids with any similar needs/challenges to my daughter’s I hope the below info helps.

Specific needs met:
- gluten intolerant (non celiac but highly sensitive/symptomatic)
- sensory aversions to certain textures/viscosities
- high protein needs (individual needs/diet/dosage dependant)
- high energy needs
- high calorie needs
- additional fat soluble vitamin support
- malabsorption
- struggle to gain & maintain weight (both muscle mass & body fat)
- additional nutrition support during and after periods of illness
- constipation
- low appetite

Good to know:
- straws not included since single use plastic laws came in..
- shelf stable but always double check expiry dates and rotate backup.
- product advice recommends ‘chill to serve’ to improve taste after mixing, BUT if your child is fussy, restrictive/sensitive to temperature, or needs their food/drinks consistently the same, my Miss prefers it as is.
- trial all flavours first before buying bulk if possible (pharmacies sell individual bottles, dietician may also have samples).
- suggest order backup and rotate between tolerated flavours if possible, you won’t be in a bind if stock low, longer lead time, or late ordering and kid will only have x flavour.
- consider/compare to powdered tin version if you can afford to early on. Premix great for convenience, the powdered/tin version is handy at home. I find more cost effective to use both if premix useful, otherwise tin is better value if picking one only.
- while other kids have a cold Milo, my Miss has either a cold “choc crunch” if powdered version at home or this premix when out.
- if your LO doesn’t want anyone to see the bottle, you can ask carers or educators to pour it into a regular cup before serving. Make sure you include shaking bottle on their documentation/instructions because most of flavour settles and was an issue around taste consistency early on.
- pop it in a blender for a milkshake/smoothie experience. Get creative, e.g. add ice for a “M” type iced chocolate frappe with added choc syrup inside the glass and whipped cream on top for a treat.
- check brand website for other tips on different ways to use/prepare. Think baking, on cereal etc.
- I’ve reviewed the tin powdered version too.

My ASD level 2 daughter loves these ... She thinks they are chocolate milk so getting her to drink them is not an issue. I have noticed that in just the few weeks she has been using it that already its helping her with bowel issues from being a fussy eater ....
