kinda chic to be a dairy cow, if you ask me 😎🐄

after all, these ladies:
❇️ each have their own unique personalities and friends — sometimes, they're sassy, too!
❇️ help convert byproducts from other industries (like cottonseed and orange pulp) into nutritious, protein-rich milk we can enjoy
❇️ spend most of the day sleeping, eating, and socializing, with only about 15-25 minutes of their day in milking
❇️ are multitasking superheroes and natural upcyclers

Every baby deserves the best start 👶✨ How can the expecting mom in your life give their little one a brain boost early on? 👀

Bri Butler is a registered dietitian, mom, and former WNBA player who knows that women of color face higher risks during pregnancy. But good nutrition, including protein, calcium, and Vitamin D, can help support a healthy pregnancy and baby! 💪🧠

Key nutrients found in milk, cheese, and yogurt, like iodine and choline, are key for fetal brain development. And lactose-free or fermented options like lactose-free milk, probiotic yogurts, and aged cheeses, are here for you! 🤗🥛 While good nutrition can sometimes feel out of reach, milk is a convenient, accessible source of many building blocks expecting moms and their babies need to grow and thrive!

I'm tired of making lunches, grandpa! 🍱😫

Good thing all Florida public schools offer tasty, nutritionally balanced breakfasts and lunches so you don't have to figure out one more meal every school day! And they're not like the ones you may have had as a kid, either! 🤯 Times are a-changing!

Let's get serious: school lunches have changed a LOT since we were kids. They're carefully constructed to meet strong nutritional guidelines while also making the kids' bellies happy, so they're always a great option for you and your family (especially when you need a little break)! 🙂🏫

One thing that hasn't changed: they still offer milk for powerful hydration, high-quality protein, and so much more to fuel your little one's busy day! 💪🥛

All these benefits AND I don't have to throw something together at 6 AM? 👀 Sounds like a WIN-WIN to me! 🎉🥣🏫

But don't just take our word for it! What does the science ACTUALLY say about school breakfast? 🕵️🥛

🧠 Studies suggest that children who eat breakfast at school perform better on standardized tests than those
who skip breakfast or eat earlier.
🧠 Children who eat breakfast show improved cognitive function, attention, and memory.
🧠 Breakfast options at school are associated with lower tardy rates, fewer disciplinary office visits, and improved attendance.

Plus, we're proud that milk is a consistent, favorite protein source for kids, offered at both mealtimes to keep them going strong all day! 🥛💪
