The first two fixes have nothing to do with a supplement.

Dr. Darria’s ad starts by reducing the fight itself. Hiya enters later as the kid-specific backup for picky phases, sports days, and the meals that simply do not go as planned.

Reason 1

Stop calling it “protein.”

The ad’s first move is reframing: call it a milkshake or smoothie for younger kids. For older kids, explain the goal and let them choose how to meet it. Less pressure, more ownership.

Reason 2

Ditch the meal rules.

Leftover steak or taco meat at breakfast still counts. The second tip from the video is to stop policing which protein foods belong at which meal and take the win when it appears.

Reason 3

Keep a kid-specific backup on hand.

On the days food flexibility still does not close the gap, Dr. Darria keeps Hiya Kids Daily Growth + Protein ready. Three scoops provide 8g of complete protein in a formula made for ages 2 to 12.

Reason 4

Make the fallback taste like a yes.

The sweet-cream powder mixes into 8 to 10 ounces of water or milk and can go into smoothies or baked goods. It has a naturally sweet vanilla flavor and 0g total sugar, so the backup does not have to feel medicinal.

Reason 5

Look for more than protein alone.

Each serving combines grass-fed whey isolate and essential amino acids with 4g of prebiotic fiber, organic fats, vitamin D3, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Hiya also says every batch is third-party tested.

Does my child actually need a protein supplement?

Maybe not. Hiya says children who eat a varied, protein-rich diet may not need one, while picky eaters and active kids may benefit from help filling gaps. Ask your pediatrician about your child’s diet and needs.

How much protein do kids need?

Needs vary by age, weight, activity, and health. Hiya’s current FAQ says a typical target is about 0.5g per pound of body weight and lists age-based ranges. Treat that as a conversation starter, not a personalized prescription.

Can this replace a meal?

No. Hiya describes Kids Daily Growth + Protein as nutritional support, not a meal replacement. Food still comes first.

How do I serve it?

Mix three scoops with 8 to 10 ounces of water or milk and froth well, or add it to smoothies and recipes that work with a vanilla flavor.

A lower-pressure way to introduce it

This is a serving routine, not a promise of health changes. Keep food first and use the powder as support when it fits your child’s needs.

1

Let them name it

Milkshake, smoothie, or “the pink-canister drink.” Use the language that lowers resistance.

2

Let them choose

Offer water, milk, or a smoothie base and give older kids ownership over when it fits.

3

Use the backup

Reach for it on the picky, rushed, or high-activity days, not as a replacement for meals.

4

Review the fit

Before the next delivery, ask whether the taste, frequency, and subscription still work for your family.
