This is part of a sponsored collaboration with MilkPEP and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
My son is 6 years old and there has hardly been a day since he turned 1 years old that he doesn’t start his morning with a cup of milk. While I have always thought it was important to start the day off strong with a healthy breakfast that includes Milk, now that they are both in school I feel that it is especially important. They need to be focused and energized throughout their day.
Even as an adult, I love drinking milk (especially with chocolate cake…oh, and with spaghetti). With the various nutritious milk choices available, from fat free to low-fat or flavored options there’s one for everyone in the family.
Milk
Did you know that…
- All milks have the same 9 essential nutrients, even low fat and fat free?
- For only 80 calories, one 8oz. glass of fat free milk provides the same 8 grams of protein as whole milk or low fat milk?
- Fat free or low-fat milk packs the same nutrient-rich punch for fewer calories or fat.
- The US Dietary Guidelines recommend eating right, staying active and drinking three glasses of lowfat or fat free milk each day to maintain a healthy weight.
Protein
Did you know that…
- Milk is one of the most affordable sources of high-quality protein you can find?
- From muscles to hair, bones to teeth, the body needs protein to be strong and healthy?
- Having Protein at breakfast can help you stay fuller longer so you’re more likely to stick to your healthy eating routine?
