Danimals® and Olympian Allyson Felix Are Coming to the Rescue for Parents in Snack Time Emergencies with “Snack Hero” Deliveries

Accessibility Statement Skip Navigation

Danimals is coming to the rescue by partnering with Instacart to deliver snacks with nutrients kids need – like calcium and Vitamin D – in a pinch. Whether you realize you’re on snack duty for your kid’s sports team or you need something to quickly throw in the car for school pick-up, Danimals is ready to save the day with a taste kids love.

Starting May 1st, Danimals is treating parents (and kids!) nationwide to get up to $15 worth of snacks on us in as fast as 30 minutes by ordering Danimals through Instacart – solving any snack time emergency in a pinch. With yogurt pouches and smoothies offered in a variety of delicious flavors that provide a good source of calcium and Vitamin D and are made with no dyes or colors from artificial sources, Danimals is a snack that both parents and kids can agree on.

“As a parent to three young kids, I know what it’s like to be asked for snacks around the clock,” said Lindsey Lee, Senior Director, Family & Kids Yogurt at Danone North America. “At Danimals, we know that snack time can be a good way to help your kids get important nutrients they may not be getting enough of throughout the day. That’s why we’re proud to help provide parents with quick, easy snacks that are both kid and parent-approved through our Snack Hero campaign, so that every parent can feel like the hero we know that they are!”

To help spread the word of the availability of the Snack Hero deliveries, Danimals is teaming up with the ultimate champion for parents – the most decorated American Track & Field Olympian of all time and mom of two, Allyson Felix – who is a tireless advocate for making things easier for moms everywhere. We know super parents like Allyson are super busy, and together we are making it a little bit easier for families to have quick, easy and delicious snacks delivered to them in as fast as 30 minutes for when kids need them most.

To kick off the Danimals Snack Hero program, Allyson surprised the Los Angeles Jets Track & Field Club – a storied youth track & field club for kids ages six to 18 – to hand-deliver after-practice snacks, pleasing even the pickiest eaters and helping the team’s parents become the Snack Heroes of the day.

“Perhaps the biggest – and most amazing – sprint of my life has been being a mom. As parents, we have so many priorities to balance, which is why I’m grateful for snacks like Danimals that help us be confident that even the pickiest of eaters, like my daughter, are getting the nutrients we know they need – like calcium and vitamin D – without sacrificing the taste they love,” said Allyson Felix, 11-Time Track and Field Medalist. “I had a blast teaming up with Danimals and passing the baton to the parents of the LA Jets athletes to help make them feel like a Snack Hero, and I’m super excited parents nationwide can now get the same experience through Instacart.”
