ProVen Biotics' Snackademy

Get children ready for 2026's new academic year with ProVen Biotics' Fit for School Snackademy- another easy way for parents to support their children's health, wellbeing and school attendance.*

VIEW RECIPES

We launched Snackademy in 2025 to complement our Fit for School supplements in helping parents to support their children’s health, wellbeing and school attendance*. Snackademy’s expert menu is the perfect healthy starting point for parents looking to keep hungry kids satisfied until dinner time - and we have added five easy-to-make child-friendly tasty recipes for 2026.

Comprising delicious, nutritious, gut-friendly ingredients, the Snackademy recipes are perfect for helping kids transition from busy school days, supporting their gut health, mood, hunger and blood sugar balance.

Last year, we teamed up with TV personality, parenting advocate and mum to three young children, Sarah Merrygold, to run an event to kickstart the Snackademy campaign and the conversation around healthy snacks to support our children - this year we are encouraging parents to get the kids involved in making the food.

Britain's Bravest Bites

Kids are back at school for the 2026/27 academic year and we have expanded our Fit for School Snackademy to focus on getting then involved in the kitchen, learning some new skills, and possibly trying sone new easy-to-make, tasty sweet and savoury snacks.

Our five Britain's Bravest Bites recipes have been developed to be simple enough for kids to get involved in making them, whilst also being delicious and nutritious and supporting even the fussiest of eaters to try something new.

Our recent research has shown that:

From the expert

Adrienne Benjamin, Nutritionist at ProVen Biotics, adds:

"The return to school is a re-set opportunity for the whole family and especially for our chidren. ProVen’s Fit For School daily product for kids has been used in research showing numerous benefits specifically for children, including a reduction in school absenteeism.

We’re thrilled to have further developed our Snackademy menu this year and to be building a place where parents can find delicious and nutritious recipes for their children to complement ProVen Biotics Fit for School’s many advantages.

This year we have also undertaken a study with parents to understand more about their children's eating habits and this has clarified the need for simple and fun ideas to support our children's health on a day-to-day basis. Our Fit for School chewable tablets help with this, and simple, fun, delicious recipe ideas that can get children involved are another key pillar for both gut and overall daily support for our children.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What age are these supplements for?

Our children's chewable tablets and stick packs are designed for use from four years up and our toddler product can be given to children from one year old.

We also offer specific products for babies.

What is the difference between the chewable tablets and powders?

We have designed two different product types to ensure our products are suitable for all children and their preferences. Most kids love our chewable tablets and particularly our strawberry-flavoured Fit for School chewables.

Some children prefer not to have to 'take' anything specific or separate to their food and we developed our Fit for School stick packs with this in mind. They can be taken directly into the mouth and are delicious taken this way, but are also suitable for adding to cold food or drinks (heat will kill the bacteria).

Are the products suitable for fussy eaters?

100% yes. Children love our chewable tablets and most happily take them every day (many ask for more than one, but we recommend they only take one a day - although two is perfectly safe!). 

Our stick packs and toddler powder are easy to hide in food and drinks so are also an alternative if your child is particularly fussy and doesn't like the chewables.

What makes the ProVen Biotics children's products different to other brands?

Our children's products contain our own research-backed live bacteria blend known as Lab4, which contains four strains of live bacteria - twoLactobacillusand twoBifidobacteriastrains. These two species of bacteria are the most studied and our four strains have been isolated from humans and extensively researched together as a group in both children and adults.

Can my child take two-a-day or more - is there a maximum limit?

We recommend one-a-day of our children's products, as the levels of friendly bacteria in each of our Fit for School products are those that we have researched.

The live bacteria strains in our products are recognised as safe and we have done research with adults at higher doses, so there is no level that is known to be 'too much', however there are safe upper level limits for some of the other ingredients in our products.
