Dairy Q&A

How much milk does my family need?
Daily dairy requirements depend on age: -Younger kids = 2 cups -Older kids and adults = 3

Do my kids get enough milk at school
Probably not. -Most kids only get 1 cup of low-fat milk as part of a school lunch.

How do I increase their daily intake
-Serve fat-free or low-fat milk with meals and snacks. -Put fat-free or low-fat milk at eye level in the refrigerator. -Add milk to some of your child's favorite foods, such as soups and oatmeal. -Occasionally, let your kids have some flavored, fat-free or low-fat milk. (Find the flavored milk with the least amount of sugar.)
