Start & End Each Day Right With Fresh Milk

Starting your day with a healthy, well-rounded breakfast that includes a tall glass of milk can do great things for your body. Not only does it give you the energy you need to make it through the day, but can help you control your hunger and stick to your daily nutrient goal. 

Pure, fresh milk is packed with important nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. In fact, just 3 glasses of lowfat milk will provide you with 100% of your daily calcium intake! Why is this important? Calcium contributes to bone, muscle and blood health – which means it’s necessary to get enough calcium starting at a young age.

Here are a few breakfast and snack ideas containing dairy fresh milk products that are great for both grownups and kids:

Strawberry Smoothie: Just blend strawberries, milk and a little bit of yogurt for a delicious breakfast that contains calcium, fiber & vitamin C. 

Egg Burrito & Milk: Scramble eggs (and your choice of veggie), add lowfat cheese, wrap in a tortilla and pair with a glass of fresh milk for a protein-rich meal.

Oatmeal with Dried Fruit: Cook a cup of oatmeal, add milk and your favorite dried fruit for a heart-healthy way to kick-start your morning.

It’s important to start your day right with a serving of fresh milk, but it’s also beneficial to end your day right, too! Enjoy a glass of TruMoo Lowfat Chocolate Milk in the evening and your body will love the additional calcium, protein and vitamins. Even better, every chocolaty glass of TruMoo starts with pure, fresh milk from your local dairy, assuring that you get a nutritious bonus in every sip!

After an evening workout, the nutrients in chocolate milk can help repair muscles and give your body back the energy it used up at the gym. If you are just getting home from a late workout, try pairing TruMoo Chocolate Milk with a nutritious family meal or enjoying a cup of hot cocoa before bed.

Here’s a delicious hot cocoa recipe the whole family will be excited to try:
