Abbott Laboratories Launches PediaSure SideKicks Clear For Picky Eaters

5/16/2012 9:40 AM ET

Abbott Laboratories (ABT: Quote) Wednesday announced that it has introduced PediaSure SideKicks Clear, a refreshing clear nutritional beverage that helps balance out the diet of those picky eaters who are growing fine, but still may be missing nutrients.

The new nutritional beverage is aimed for those children who often tend to be picky-eaters, and have every possibility of missing out of the protein and other essential nutrients in their daily food intake.

The global health care company claims that one 6.8 fl oz serving of PediaSure SideKicks Clear provides as much protein as one large egg, as much vitamin D as a 6 ounce yogurt cup, and as much vitamin A as a half cup of zucchini, in addition to new kid-approved flavors - Berry and Tropical Fruit. The company further added that one serving of the beverage includes 120 calories, 19 essential vitamins and minerals, including 3 essential antioxidants in a fat free formulation.
