Why Flavored Milk?
Fun flavors and grab-n-go containers make milk delicious, nutritious and ready-to-go. Kids too often reach for a can of soda or juice drinks instead of milk. This might explain why 60-90 percent of young boys and girls and teens don’t get the calcium they need and with THE MOST critical bone-building years being between 9-18, milk is a must for teens. A calcium deficient diet now can lead to stress fractures and even osteoporosis later in life. Fortunately, flavors like chocolate, banana, mocha and strawberry offer plenty to tempt kids’ taste buds. Drinking three to four glasses of milk a day makes it easy for kids to get the bone-building calcium and other nutrients their growing bodies need. Flavored milk serves a double duty by satisfying peoples’ calcium needs as well as their taste buds.
