My kids have been drinking milk every day since the age of one. Initially, it was every morning and evening and while they no longer drink it at night, my 6-year-old and my 4-year-old still drink milk every single morning. As a parent, I know how crucial it is to their development. No matter how old you are, you are never too old to drink milk. It is actually a very important part of a healthy diet because it keeps our bones strong.

With as much as my kiddos consume milk, the worse thing that can happen to me in the morning is to realize that we don’t have enough milk or that we have run out of it completely. A solution to that potential problem (that happens more that I should admit) is to purchase Shelf safe milk and keep it stored away until we need it. One of the cool things about shelf safe milk is that you don’t have to refrigerate it until it has been opened.

You may be wondering what Shelf safe milk is…I mean, you can guess what it is from its name but did you know that it has been around since the 1960s??? and that it is real, Grade A wholesome, nutritious milk with no additives or preservatives that requires no refrigeration??? In addition to the regular shelf milk, they also have a flavored milk that has less added sugar than juice drinks or soda.

It comes packaged in ultra pasteurization and special Tetra Pak eco-friendly cartons to keep the milk safe for you and your family to enjoy anytime and anywhere. Plus, they also come in single serving packages making it convenient for anything on-the-go and good for lunch boxes and diaper bags. Here’s a tip: If you want it to be cold by lunch time, simply stick it in the freezer the night before.

I mentioned earlier that milk is good for us and important for our bones. Shelf safe milk is no different, one carton of shelf safe milk has eight grams of protein and nine essential nutrients – calcium, A, D and B12, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, riboflavin, niacin and zinc.

All this talk about milk has me thinking about all the things I enjoy eating with milk…time to raid the pantry. Shelf safe milk…Milk unleashed.
