/EINPresswire.com/ -- CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - July 05, 2017) - ​Baby Gourmet​ today announces the launch of Shakers, a premium organic nutritional beverage developed to support the dietary needs of children ages one to 10 years old. Shakers, available in chocolate and vanilla, provides parents with an 80% organic whole milk based nutritional beverage, with 24+ vitamins and minerals and a touch of pumpkin ​with a taste ​that will delight even the pickiest of eaters.

Typically as babies develop into toddlers, the number ​of those ​that are considered picky eaters grows significantly, from under 20% between the ages of four - 24 months to around 50% between the ages of two - five years old. Baby Gourmet is disrupting the nutritional beverage category offering parents an organic choice containing the highest percentage of whole milk and fewer ingredients than competitors as well as peace of mind that the nutritional needs for their growing, active children are met daily and deliciously.

"We wanted to offer our customers a healthy alternative to the current nutritional beverages on the market, something I would drink myself and feel good about feeding to my child," said Jen Carlson, founder of Baby Gourmet.

"As the nutritional beverage segment grows, we decided it was important for Baby Gourmet to offer Shakers as an organic, great tasting choice as Canadian parents strive to provide their children the proper everyday nutrition," said Michael Watt, CEO of Baby Gourmet. "We are proud to continue our commitment to deliver premium organic ingredients, offered in unique combinations that taste great; it's what we do best."
