No no I am not talking about alcohol here! I’m talking about something we all grew up drinking as kids. Milk. Growing up, I remember watching the milk mustache commercials and looking forward to seeing who the next “milk mustache” model was going to be. Wasn’t Kermit the Frog a milk mustache model once? Anyway I found this little tidbit on the site to be very interesting…their have been over 250 faces endorsing milk over the years! That’s more than any other beverage out there!! Can you name some from back in the day?
The site has many useful tools…some of which I already knew like information on milk helps recovery after a hard workout, but I would have to say my most favorite part of the site is their recipe section and how to beat the heat this summer with cool drinks that are milk based. What a better way to cool off this summer AND get the calcium we need to grow big and strong (yes, I know I sound like a commercial!)!!
I recently tried this recipe on my son, the Strawberry Sunrise Breakfast Smoothie. It was SOOO good! He loved too. Zachary is not a big breakfast eater so having alternatives for him to eat (or drink in this case) is a major plus. Especially since he is starting Kindergarten next year and I do NOT want to send him off to school without something in his stomach. I can’t wait to find some more recipes that we can try!
For those of you that must drink soy milk (like my daughter) I did make the smoothie above substituting soy and she liked it! I did use the vanilla soy milk as opposed to the plain so it had a slightly different taste, but she like it! So for those of you that do have to substitute because you or your children have a dairy allergy or because you just choose to drink soy, know that at least one of the recipes substitutes nicely!
Be sure to check out . There is a lot of information on that site as well as a section where their are periodic contests. Also, don’t forget to leave me a comment with a favorite milk mustache model you remember from back in the day. Enjoy and remember, milk does a body good!
