Got Milk?

Mornings can be crazy in my house and it’s easy to sometimes want to skip breakfast.

Each day should begin with a balanced breakfast!

So when mornings get hectic and meal prepping isn’t possible, you can still start strong.

Did you know… dairy milk is the top food source of calcium, vitamin D and potassium.

About 90% of the U.S. population does not meet dairy recommendations outlined in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Most individuals would benefit by increasing intake of nutrient-dense, calcium-rich dairy milk.

One 8-ounce glass of dairy milk contains almost as much calcium as six cups of kale and the same amount of protein found in 1 1/2 medium eggs, making real milk an easy and delicious way for your little ones to get important nutrients they need.
