HOW DID WE GET OUR START?
Hi, my name is Meckenzy Funk! POWkids began when life was hectic and convenient nutrition felt out of reach. With my husband in medical school and a picky toddler at home, I struggled to find convenient, healthy, kid-friendly nutrition products that I could feel good about. Everything on the shelf was packed with sugar or low on real benefits.
So I set out to create the solution I couldn’t find! Together with my husband and siblings, POWkids was born!
Not long after, life threw another curveball: we welcomed our second son, Davis, who was born at just 28 weeks with Down Syndrome. During his 102-day NICU stay, POWkids became even more essential for our family, ensuring that our toddler Noah got the nutrients he needed.
At POWkids, we understand that every family’s journey is different, but the goal is the same: raising healthy, happy, POWerful kids. Our mission is to make it easier for parents to give their children the nourishment they need to thrive.
WHAT PROBLEM ARE WE SOLVING?
We know parents face a tough choice between convenience and nutrition, so we created POWkids to make it easy. Our protein powders use only the highest quality ingredients, are nutritionally dense, and delicious! As childhood obesity, diabetes, and nutrition gaps rise, we stand as a reliable partner for parents looking to provide healthy, balanced diets for their little ones.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?
POWkids products were designed by a chemist, dietician, and physician and taste tested by children. POWkids was created specifically for children with servings sizes tailored to their appropriate ages. Our grass-fed whey protein contains Choline to support brain development and potentially help reduce the risk of Autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. With no added sugar, our products help reduce increasing levels of childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes.
