Jocko Fuel Releases Warrior Kids Line Of Protein Drinks + Gummy Vitamins, Focus & Sleep Supplements

Jocko Fuel just launched a Warrior Kid Nutrition line for kids 4+, including RTD protein shakes and three gummies(multivitamin, focus, and sleep). The branding is bold, the messaging is strong — but the real question is always the same:

Is this actually useful, or is it just good marketing wrapped in a kid-friendly label?

Let’s break it down.

The RTD Protein Shakes (Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry)

These were the standout for me.

Each carton comes in at 80 calories with 12 grams of protein, very low sugar, moderate sodium, and solid calcium and potassium content. The protein source is milk-based (milk protein concentrate + calcium caseinate), which digests slower and keeps kids fuller longer compared to sugar-heavy drinks pretending to be “protein.”

This isn’t meant to replace real meals — but as a protein add-on after sports, on busy mornings, or when breakfast was light, this actually makes sense. Low sugar, decent protein, and reasonable calories is a win in the kids RTD space.

If your kid tolerates dairy, this is the strongest product in the lineup.

The Multivitamin Gummies

On paper, this is a fairly comprehensive kids multi. You’ve got vitamins A, C, D, E, K2, B-vitamins, iodine, zinc, and small amounts of magnesium.

The one thing worth paying attention to is vitamin D. At 30 mcg (1,200 IU) per serving, this isn’t inherently bad — but it is a meaningful dose for a kids gummy. If your child already drinks fortified milk, eats fortified foods, or takes another multi, you don’t want to blindly stack everything.

This is best viewed as a gap-filler, not something to pile on top of everything else without awareness.

The Focus Gummies

This is where marketing starts to outpace expectations a bit.

The formula includes phosphatidylserine, acetyl-L-carnitine, omega-3s, choline, and B-vitamins — all ingredients that can support cognition. The issue isn’t what’s in here, it’s how much.

Compared to doses used in most research, these amounts are light. That doesn’t mean they’re useless — it means this should be framed as support, not a fix.

If a kid is under-fueled, underslept, overstimulated, and stuck in screen chaos, a gummy is not solving that. This works best on top of good sleep, food, structure, and movement — not instead of them.

The Sleep Gummies

This is a calming blend, not a sedative.

You’ve got lemon balm, chamomile, tart cherry, lavender, a small amount of magnesium, and 50 mg of L-theanine. That combo can help some kids relax and transition into bedtime more smoothly, especially if a routine is already in place.

But this isn’t going to override late-night screens, inconsistent bedtimes, or overstimulation. Think wind-down support, not knockout candy.

The Honest Parent Take

If you’re considering this line, the most important things aren’t on the label.

Start with routine. Start with food. Start with sleep. Supplements should support a foundation, not replace one.

If you do use these, introduce one product at a time, watch how your child responds, and don’t assume “more is better” just because it’s for kids. Third-party testing matters even more here than with adult products.

Bottom Line

The RTD protein shakes are genuinely solid and the most practical product in the lineup.
The multivitamin is fine, just don’t stack blindly.
The focus and sleep gummies can be helpful for some kids — but expectations need to stay realistic.

No gimmicks. No fear-based parenting. Just tools that work if the fundamentals are already there.
