The parent’s guide to youth sports nutrition

Let’s face it: high-quality nutrition for young athletes is hard to come by these days.

Unless you want to spend $10-20 on a wellness smoothie or superfood salad, kids on the go are often being sabotaged by gas station snacks and drive-thru windows.

With practice schedules, game days, and homework piling up, most young athletes are running on empty—nutritionally speaking. And when elite performance is expected both on the field and in the classroom, this nutrition gap is holding too many promising athletes back.

Former NFL quarterback Jordan Palmer witnessed this firsthand at his QB summits. His solution? Daily Fuel by Thread – an all-in-one performance nutrition blend that’s delivering complete nutrition to young athletes for just $4 per serving.

The nutrition crisis facing young athletes

Ensuring your kids are getting the nutrients they need is no small feat. It would be one thing if we all had the time to prepare three meals a day (and make sure that our kids are actually eating them) — but that’s not a reality for most people.

And when it comes to young athletes, the pressure is really on because these kids have busier schedules and higher nutrition demands than most of their non-athlete friends.

Daily Fuel’s superfood and nutrient blend hits on all of the critical areas of nutritional demand for young athletes.

Unfortunately, research shows that, in general, young athletes are falling far short of meeting their nutritional needs. And a major factor contributing to this issue is what’s available to them

That’s where Daily Fuel comes in.

For Only $4 a day, your young athlete gets complete performance nutrition

In an effort to make high-quality nutrition accessible, Daily Fuel’s superfood and nutrient blend hits on all of the critical areas of nutritional demand for young athletes.

21 grams of grass-fed whey protein

Each serving of Daily Fuel contains 21 grams of high-quality grass-fed protein, which helps nourish, maintain, and rebuild muscles, support the immune system, and stabilize energy throughout the day.

Unlike most protein powders made from conventionally raised cows, Thread’s Daily Fuel uses 100% grass-fed whey — providing a complete amino acid profile without added hormones and antibiotics.

60+ organic superfoods

The term superfood isn’t just marketing hype. Many superfoods supply antioxidant compounds and phytonutrients, which translates into speedy recovery, optimal energy, and overall health and wellness.

Every serving of Daily Fuel packs over 60 organic superfoods, specifically chosen to support performance, growth, and recovery in young athletes who need it most.

Collagen-supporting ingredients for joint health

Collagen is a critical nutrient for all athletes, young and old, due to its role in connective tissue. Joints, ligaments, tendons all need a healthy supply of collagen to function properly, and properly functioning connective tissue is critical for athletic performance and recovery.

Thread’s Daily Fuel contains a unique ingredient that delivers not just collagen but also protein and essential nutrients: eggshell membrane. This powerful component supports healthy joints, muscles, and bones and serves as a secret weapon for maintaining connective tissue integrity.

More than just protein, complete nutrition for young athletes

Do young athletes need protein? Yes. But they also need a whole lot more.

Daily Thread isn’t just protein — it’s the all-in-one fuel tailor-made for young athletes. Both on and off the field, the nutrients in Daily Fuel go to work to give your young athletes the nutrition they need for optimal performance, wellness, and recovery.

With each serving, Thread’s Daily Fuel provides:

Natural energy without the crash

Every sip of Daily Fuel helps to naturally boost energy and support stamina with adaptogens, micronutrients, and superfoods.

Adaptogens, like cordyceps and ashwagandha, help athletes balance stress naturally so they can deal with their to-do lists, homework, athletic schedules, and any other stressors impacting their daily lives.

Meanwhile, superfoods like beetroot work to enhance stamina and performance by naturally supporting blood flow, while B vitamins and iron support oxygenation and provide a natural energy boost.

Mental clarity when it counts

Along with the benefits of a relaxed mind that adaptogenic superfoods provide, the high-quality protein in Daily Fuel supplies a steady energy source, helping to stabilize blood sugar. The result? Say goodbye to the afternoon crash and brain fog that comes with sugar-laden “protein” bars and sports drinks.

Faster recovery between training and games

As a parent, you want your athlete to repair and rebuild muscles efficiently. Thread’s Daily Fuel provides the complete spectrum of nutrients required for optimal muscle maintenance, growth, and recovery — including protein, collagen, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients also support bone and joint health — benefits they’ll thank you for now and decades from now.

A complete nutritional foundation

With busy schedules and generally low-quality school lunch options, many young athletes find themselves reaching for fast food to fill the gap. Couple this with their higher nutritional demands, and many young competitors find themselves burning out before they reach their potential.

Daily Fuel’s nutrition blend not only includes protein, fat, and carbs but comprehensive vitamin and mineral support as well, providing a solid foundation of nourishment.

Digestive support for maximum absorption

Each serving of Daily Fuel comes packed with probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes to enhance digestion and absorption of all these critical nutrients and superfoods. What’s the point of having all that nutrition in there if they aren’t optimally absorbing and utilizing all that good stuff?

Making it work: Simple, flexible, and effective

Juggling your kid’s schedule can be enough to make you want to hire a personal assistant. The good news is that Thread’s Daily Fuel is flexible, convenient, and highly portable. Pack it with school lunches, have them keep it in their locker for before or after training, or use it as a morning pick-me-up.

It doesn’t matter what time they drink it as long as they’re consistent. Even on off days, their bodies require the nutrients in Daily Fuel, so make it a daily habit.

The best way to enjoy it? That’s up to your athlete. You can mix it with any liquid, so experiment until they find what works best for them.

Real Parents, real results: Why parents love Daily Fuel

Simply put, parents love Thread’s Daily Fuel because it provides one big check mark off their to-do list.

Every parent wants to see their child succeed, but it can be challenging to support a growing athlete when their nutrient demands are so high and convenient food options are so poor.

Daily Fuel offers a cost-effective solution without requiring parents to buy loads of individual supplements. And best of all, while this formula is designed to support athletic performance, it also contains nutrients to keep young athletes at the top of their game in the classroom.

No complicated meal prep and no need for coercion — kids actually love the taste.

But don’t take our word for it; here are just a handful of 5-star reviews from happy parents and young athletes:

• Great start! “My son loves the taste, which is usually hard for us to find. He told me last week that he wasn’t gassed at a pickup game Sunday night when he usually is. He is only about 10 days into the program, and we are looking forward to even greater results!” – Michael F.
• Innovative and Awesome Product. “My son plays soccer and Little League, and when it comes to supplementing his day-to-day diet, there wasn’t much on the market created for kids and their growing bodies. Thread Daily Fuel tastes great, is full of quality nutrients and ingredients, and our whole family can enjoy!” – Ashley P.
• Immediate Difference. “My 14-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter both tried the Daily Fuel for the first time and noticed immediate benefits in terms of energy, stamina, and endurance in their daily workouts! We are very pleased with the results and will continue to use this product!” –Robert M.
• Nothing better on the market. “For what’s in it, the ease of use, and how much my son loves the taste, this stuff can’t be beat. We push our 8-year-old quite a bit. He wants to be active. Plays basketball, travel baseball, swims, runs, and is constantly moving. Fueling his body isn’t easy with all the bs they put in foods. This stuff gives him his necessities first thing every day.” – Andrew B.

The Bottom Line: $4 per day for complete athletic nutrition

On the field, in the classroom, out with friends — no matter where they are or what they’re doing, your kids give it their all. But despite our best efforts, most young athletes are undernourished, and this nutritional gap is holding them back from reaching their full potential.

While the struggle is real, Thread’s Daily Fuel makes it simple and affordable to give your young athletes the complete nutrition they need to excel both on and off the field for only $4 per serving.

It’s high-quality nutrition for young athletes, and a much-needed sigh of relief for parents who want the best for their kids.
