How Long Does Kiki Milk Stay Fresh?

Do you only sell 12 packs?

At this time, yes.

But let us explain why: When it came down to packaging Kiki Milk, we had two options: 6 packs wrapped in plastic or 12 packs wrapped in cardboard. Because we are committed to bettering planet earth and lowering our carbon footprint, this decision was a no-brainer. We’ll pick cardboard over plastic any day, especially if that means we can minimize transportation emissions and get you more Kiki Milk. Win Win 🏆

If you are hesitant about purchasing a 12-pack of Kiki Milk, we get it. That is a lot of milk, especially for first time buyers who have never tried it. The good news is we offer a 30-day 100% risk-free guarantee!

We are sure you’ll love Kiki Milk, but if for any reason you aren’t satisfied, please contact us within 30 days* of your order and we will provide you with a 100% refund, no questions asked!

What makes Kiki Milk great for kids?

Kiki Milk is great for kids because...

⭐ We use none of these things: (no gums, seed oils, refined sugars, preservatives, GMOs, glyphosate, gluten, or soy)
⭐ We do not add any ’natural’ or artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors
⭐ We only source organic whole food ingredients
⭐ Kiki Milk Original and Chocolate are nut free* (we do use coconut)
⭐ Although we are totally organic, we go above and beyond to 3rd party lab-test all our sourced ingredients in an effort to be extra safe because we want to make sure our products do not contain any glyphosate (a common pesticide that is pervasive in US foods) or other harmful substances
⭐ We work closely with leading pediatricians and nutritionists to deliver clean, plant-based milks that support the nutritional needs of growing kiddos

FOR WHAT CHILD AGE RANGE IS KIKI MILK RECOMMENDED?

Generally, doctors and pediatricians recommend mainly breastmilk or formula for children until the age of one. *After one, they can begin to transition to regular milk or other milk alternatives.

According to our nutritionist, Vicki Kobliner, MS RDN, CD-N, organic whole food sources are especially important for young kids since they are still developing. Kiki Milk is made with only organic whole food ingredients and contains no gums, seed oils, refined sugars, preservatives, GMOs, glyphosate, gluten, nuts (except coconuts), or soy. To learn more about why Kiki Milk's is great for kids, read our blog post here. For practical advice, talk to your child's pediatrician.

*Kiki Milk is not meant to replace breast milk or infant formula.

What is Aquamin™ and how much calcium is in Kiki Milk?

Aquaman is a superhero that possesses superhuman strength, the ability to breathe underwater, and the capacity to communicate telepathically with creatures of the sea, among other powers. Drink Kiki Milk, and you just might be able to do the same!

But, actually:

Aquamin™ is a unique marine multi-mineral complex, providing bioactive calcium, magnesium and approximately 72 other trace marine minerals*. It supports bone health, reduces inflammation, and makes for a happier and healthier gut. It's a seaweed superfood.

Where does it come from?
⭐ Aquamin™ is extracted from the cell wall of the red marine algae, Lithathamnion calcareum, which is harvested from the cold Atlantic waters off the northwest and southwest coast of Ireland. Over the course of its 5-year lifespan, the algae absorb trace minerals from the sea, giving Aquamin™ its unique multi-mineral content. The algae are then naturally broken down and settled into the sea beds forming calcified skeletal remains, which are harvested with international standards for sustainable marine aquaculture.

Why do we use Aquamin™ in Kiki Milk?
⭐ For plant-based calcium! Thanks to some mighty seaweed, Kiki Milk Original has 228 mg of calcium per serving and Kiki Milk Chocolate has 229 mg of calcium per serving. That makes a pretty good dent in your daily calcium targets and gives you real food fuel to get you through the day.

*Aquamin™ contains a wide spectrum of trace minerals assimilated from sea water. Aquamin™ is a natural ingredient and trace mineral levels may vary over time.

WHY IS THERE NO VITAMIN D IN KIKI MILK?

Vitamin D is critical for health and development, and we want every child that drinks Kiki Milk to have robust amounts in their body from the sun and clean supplementation. The problem is that the milk and milk alternatives can only be fortified with D2, and this form is not as well absorbed or metabolized as the more functional D3. These synthetic and isolated forms of the vitamin, D2, also include hidden sub-ingredients like maltodextrin we aren’t so keen on. Although companies aren’t required to put this on the label, we have ‘a no hidden sub-ingredients policy”. We choose integrity and transparency, and although most companies do it, we don’t agree with this practice.

Additionally, our bodies can naturally make D3 in the summer from sun exposure- 15 to 20 minutes before applying non-toxic sunscreen can do the trick. In fall and winter, one or two drops of a good quality D3 liquid supplement can provide the daily 600IU a toddler needs. It can even be added to your Kiki Milk before drinking.

You want the best for your kids and so do we. That's why we prefer not to add the inferior Vitamin D2, when we know D3 is a simple and better choice.

Why does Kiki Milk separate?

We don’t use emulsifiers, AKA chemical additives that bind ingredients together to make them artificially smooth, creamy, and pretty. If you see clumps, that’s actually a good sign. They indicate whole food ingredients which naturally separate. Just give your Kiki Milk a good shake before enjoying and you’ll experience the true taste of nature!
