FINALLY! A healthy, all-natural, delicious children's drink.

The children's beverage market is suffering from a drought of healthy options. Arising from the desert-like landscape is Smile Buddies, the only all-natural children's fruit drink that addresses the epidemic of childhood obesity, juvenile diabetes, and tooth decay by providing a NATURALLY SWEETENED beverage that has a fraction of the calories of any children's drink in the market, with NO SUGAR!

We look forward to you trying our beverage and hope that it becomes the go-to refreshment in your family. Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). By replacing hundreds of empty calories with a healthy low-calorie Smile Buddies, we aim to address this epidemic head-on.

A Complete Line of Delicious Flavors!

GET ON THE SMILE BUDDIES TRAIN!!

We want the FACTS!

Smile Buddies is a fruit-flavored beverage that is offered in a 6.75 fl oz. pouch and sold in cases of 8 pouches. We use xylitol, a naturally occurring sweetener that comes from birch trees to give our drinks the same great flavor kids crave, while eliminating the calories and glucose associated with those sugary drinks that are the only option in today's market. Smile Buddies has 10 calories and NO sugar.

Capri Sun, our closest competitor, has 70 calories per pouch and 18 grams of sugar and we guarantee that you can't taste the difference! Make the healthy choice by drinking Smile Buddies!

In order to make children healthier, Smile Buddies needs to reach the most consumers in the shortest amount of time. We are counting on YOU to help us show that Smile Buddies should be in every grocery store so that today's youth can achieve the health and well-being they deserve.

We are the CHAMPIONS!

Smile Buddies is an all-natural, healthy children's beverage. Currently, our closest competitor, Capri Sun, has 70 calories and 18g of sugar per pouch. Smile Buddies has 10 calories and NO SUGAR! Smile Buddies is offering consumers the opportunity to eliminate HUNDREDS of calories every day, simply by switching to Smile Buddies. By the way, we bet you'll like our flavor even more than any of our competitors and your kids will be healthier, have better energy, and will be all smiles when they are drinking Smile Buddies.

The A-Team

Karsten Idsal

President 


Karsten has always been interested in well-being and fitness. As a former Infantry Officer in the United States Army, Karsten knows the importance of keeping a healthy mind, body and spirit. One of the biggest contributors to our total wellness is what we drink. Most youth today drink way too much sugar, and as a result, drink way too many empty calories. When Karsten met KB Parkes, the founder of Hapi Drinks, LLC., he knew that KB's idea could eliminate billions, if not trillions of empty calories from the American diet. In June 2014, Karsten assumed the role of President and is looking forward to the successful launch of Smile Buddies, a product that will revolutionize the children's beverage landscape.


Kennett (KB) - Parkes

Founder 


Dr. KB Parkes is a Nashville, TN based dentist, entrepreneur and avid golfer. In 2011, KB created the first xylitol infused water, Hygen8, using a patent-pending formula. After seeing years of declining oral health among patients and the rise of childhood obesity in society, KB worked on formulating a beverage that would help fight the increasing sugar intake in children’s diets. In 2014, KB conceived Smile Buddies, the first all-natural flavored-fruit drink infused with xylitol. Seeing that kids were always going to want sweet fruit drinks, he decided the best way to change children's beverage choices was to create a beverage that did not compromise on flavor, but eliminated calories and sugar. KB is actively involved in strategic and corporate decisions at Hapi Drinks, LLC, our parent.
