Healthy Heights Grow Daily Kids Protein Drink Mix (Chocolate) - High Protein Shake for Kids 3+

I felt compelled to write a review for this product because I was hesitant to order this product based on the reviews over the bad taste of this product. So, I decided to try one bag and see how my son liked it. IT TASTES JUST FINE!! My son drinks milk just fine already, so that wasn't a concern. He likes chocolate milk, so I usually give him all white (2%) milk with a splash of chocolate milk for color and to give it a chocolate taste. I followed the directions and used a Blender Bottle. Because I was so concerned about the taste, I tried it for myself first and I thought it tasted like chocolate milk. I gave it to my son, nervously, and he drank it all with no complaints! He has been drinking it every morning for a week now and I have still not heard one complaint. So all I will say is to try it out for yourself. That's really the only way you will know if your child will drink it or not. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but I will continue to try it for the recommended 6 months and see if his height improves. Either way, I feel great about the product.

My boys, now 10 and 12, have been using Healthy Height for about a year. They do not take it every day, but often. I mix it in milk and mix it in smoothies. I initially purchased it because my boys seem to be on the very slow-growth path. It did not affect their growing at all. They are still very short for their age. But, I feel it is my job to do everything I can to help aid them. They love the taste, which is great, considering the majority of protein powders have a funny aftertaste. They ask for it, so I will continue to get it for them. Perhaps my persistence will pay off with some extra inches some day.

I appreciate this company's approach - mindful of sugar content and common allergens and made with real ingredients. While the taste isn't our kiddo's favorite, we manage to get it down him and it's an easy-ish way to add calories to his diet. He sleeps better and hangry episodes are mitigated!Special user note: At first I was appalled by the consistency, until my dear husband read the directions and identified the user error (me): you MUST shake this to get it to dissolve! Stirring results in a chunky mess. So, when you follow instructions, it's perfect! We use a protein shaker bottle to mix and it's effortless.

My very athletic 8 yr son is a picky eater and low in his growth scale. For the longest time I struggled with a balanced breakfast that he won't eat or a full kid loaded with surgery cereal before school. He's my youngest and I never had these issues with my girls. We tried tons of breakfast drinks, pre-made and powder, but they were either too thick, too chocolatey, didn't taste right or chalky. When we found Healthy Heights it was a game changer. He will drink the chocolate flavor blended with 2% milk without any complaints and whats better is for my light eater, it will keep him full until lunch time. We're into our second year with Healthy Heights and we pumped up our recipe to adding a large spoonful of full fat vanilla yogurt (he won't do greek) and a half of banana. He now makes it himself in the blender and perfers this as his breakfast every morning and remind me when we need to buy more. We feel lucky to have found a healthy routine breakfast. Honestly it's hard to say if its improving his growth, because kids grow naturally. But he is catching up to his classmates and is proud to be moving up the classroom height scale (now 4th to shortest). Go Healthy Heights. . I honestly recommend this shake to my friends with picky eaters.

Too expensive! Nothing special that you can’t find elsewhere for less.

I gave three stars because the taste is horrible and I have been forcing my son to drink it for a month straight. Sometimes he gags, other times he cries.... and he is 12 years old. I had to taste it myself and it is disgusting. Wish they would work on the flavor. I really wish my son can continue this so we can see if it works or not but due to the taste, we will need to discontinue.

My son is physiologically fine (tons of testing came back completely normal with exception of his bone age delayed by 2 years), he is just in the 5th- 10th percentile for height. Based on my height and that of my husband he should be in the 65%. Because all of the blood testing he underwent came back normal he’s not a candidate for growth hormone treatment. They consider him constitutionally delayed. We purchased these hoping to help him grow quicker because being a boy it’s harder when you are smaller sometimes. He has been taking two shakes a day as recommended. I can’t say I have noticed a very quick/big growth jump in him but according to my unofficial clinical trial I’m doing at my house :-) he’s has grown about a third of an inch in a month. He typically grows about 2 1/2 inches a year so that is a larger growth when taking into consideration his normal growth. I think the protein and extra calories help. He eats extremely healthy/whole foods and I imagine burns more calories than the average kid because he’s so active; the shakes help to fuel his activity and I am hoping his growth.

I've literally spent like over $200 trying different nutrition drinks for my underweight kid. He's 10 and very small, under 2% for height and weight. He's always been small and so are my other kids but he doesn't really eat much so we needed something so he can get his vitamins in and help him grow. We've tried so many different things, and they haven't been cheap, ranging from $30-$50, we even added some things to them to make them more appetizing but he just doesn't like them. I decided to try this and he loves it. Everyday he comes home from school and asks me to make one. I use our Magic Bullet, I put about 1/2 cup crushed ice, 1 cup milk, a tbs of chocolate sryup, and 2 scoops of this powder. Super easy and fast to make, especially with the magic bullet. I ran out of chocolate syrup and haven't bought more yet and he still loves it. Definitely will be our new go to, so glad we tried it. I can't say much for the weight gain as of yet bc it's only been a couple weeks but I'll edit in a couple months to include that info.
