It's so important to make sure our hard-working students are getting the nutrition they need to perform at their best in the classroom and beyond (and even better if they're having fun while doing it)! 🍡 These skewers are the perfect snack to throw together and munch on while balancing school projects or more!

What are your kids' favorite study snacks? Let us know in the comments! 😄 👇 #easysnacks #studysnacks #easysnacksforkids

Tomorrow (Sunday 3/26) is the last day of Busch's Milk Drive! Hit your local Busch's Fresh Food Market this weekend to donate a gallon to those who need it in your community! 🥛🫶

Milk is one of the most requested items at food banks for REALLY good reasons! In addition to making dry goods like cereals and box pasta kits into viable meal options, consuming milk with meals or as an ingredient is a convenient nutritional hack! Dairy milk provides eight grams of high-quality protein per serving, while also serving up essential nutrients that many Americans aren’t getting enough of, including calcium and magnesium. Every family deserves access to nutrient-dense, delicious foods like dairy to build their best lives! ❤️

Dairy farmers are taking big steps TODAY to reach the dairy community's goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050! Here are just a few of the ways farmers are working to get there every day:

- 🌱 Soil Management: The increasing adoption of techniques such as low-till/no-till crop farming and proper use of manure as fertilizer is helping to reduce soil erosion and improve soil health on farms!

- 💩 Manure Management: Some classic and innovative sustainable moves farmers are making include using manure as fertilizer, composting it to make soil amendments, and processing it in anaerobic digesters to produce renewable energy.

- 💧 Water Conservation: On a dairy farm, water is used and recycled in multiple unique ways, from hydrating cows to cooling milk to cleaning pens. Other water conservation measures include rainwater harvesting.

- 🖥️ Adopting New Technologies: New technologies in precision agriculture, data analytics, and more are enabling farmers to improve efficiency and reduce waste to meet their sustainability goals. For example, sensors that monitor cow health and productivity can help farmers optimize feed and water consumption.

- ⚡ Producing Renewable Energy: From solar panels to wind turbines to cow power from methane digestors, some farmers are starting to power their farms and communities using eco-friendly forms of renewable energy.

By adopting these and other sustainable practices, dairy farmers are hard at work implementing new, innovative strategies to best care for their cows and the earth. 🥰🌎🐄

Who do you imagine when you picture a dairy farmer? 🤔 💭 🐄 🚜

While some folks face unique barriers to certain professions (including those in agriculture), the truth is there's no one clear-cut image of what a dairy farmer looks like! This National Ag Day & #WomensHistoryMonth , we'd like to celebrate all the wonderful women in the dairy community for the work they're doing (and have been doing for AGES) to bring sustainable nutrition to the world. In Michigan, there are plenty of women on the farm propelling the dairy industry forward to feed the world, pioneering new solutions for sustainable agriculture, all while continuing to provide excellent care for their animals.

No matter who you are, today (and every day!) is a great opportunity to recognize a woman in your life! ❤️ ✨

Milk has been fueling athletes for centuries and has a natural nutrient combination not found in formulated sports drinks. It stands alone as the Original Sports Drink and is the clear choice for athletes of all ages to fuel athletic performance and to repair, rehydrate and replenish their muscles and bodies.

In case you need to embrace a little extra love since February just ended (Happy March!), here are just some of the reasons why we ❤️ dairy:

- It improves bone health. Our bones need protein, vitamin D, and calcium, all of which milk provides!

- It improves digestive health. Dairy products such as yogurt and cheese have probiotics, which are essential for a healthy gut! A healthy digestive tract also leads to a lower risk of certain diseases.

- It tastes good! How many people do you know that don’t like cheese on their sandwich, a glass of milk with Oreos, or chocolate?

- It's a tasty way to fuel your body after a workout. Chocolate milk is an excellent beverage for kids (and adults, too) after exercising or running around all day.

Read more on how we're showing a little extra love to our bodies, our minds, and our hearts 🥰 on our blog at the #linkinbio ❤️ You deserve all the ❤️❤️❤️!!

Olympic snowboarder Jake Vedder grew up riding the slopes of Mt. Brighton near his hometown of Pinckney, MI. When he’s back home in the offseason, he always takes time to inspire kids and provide guidance to the next generation of snowboarders.

Did you know that low-fat dairy is an important part of the #MediterraneanDiet 🌿 🥙 🍅 🥑 🥛 🧀 -- @USNews 's Best Diet of the Year for 6 years in a row? High-protein dairy products like feta cheese, Greek yogurt, and cottage/farmer's cheese add balance to an eating pattern often known for leaning heavily on fruits, veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats.

For example, Tzatziki sauce is a luxurious dip/all-purpose delight made with Greek yogurt 🥣 , cucumber 🥒 , and dill 🌿 , and it's a wonderfully affordable & convenient way to get more protein, essential nutrients, and probiotics into your diet. While the Mediterranean diet has been linked to long-term health benefits (in addition to budget-friendly and planet-friendly impacts!), this stuff should be enjoyed regardless of what eating pattern/s you might follow! 😉 😋

👉 For an easy snacktime twist on this classic, find our simplified "Cucumber Dill Greek Yogurt Dip" at the #linkinbio (and add fresh dill and/or mint for flair)!

We all know that electrolytes are related to hydration, but how does that work? 🤔

Electrolytes are essential minerals including sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium; all of which play important roles in maintaining fluid balance throughout the body. If we don't get enough of the electrolytes we need, that makes it harder for fluids to be moved to where they're needed in the body, impacting hydration and hindering brain and muscle function. For hydration, it's necessary both to get the fluids your body needs, but also to stock your body with the electrolytes it needs to make good use of those fluids. Luckily, milk provides both of those things in one convenient package!! 😉 👍 🥛

As a superfood for the rest of us, real dairy milk delivers a uniquely powerful nutrient package that isn't easy to imitate! 💙 Huge thanks to Dr. Tanya Altmann for sharing why she chooses real milk for both herself and kiddos!

---

#RG • @drtanyaaltmann Here’s why I choose real dairy milk over plant-based alternatives as a mom and a pediatrician. Real dairy milk has just 3 ingredients: milk, Vitamin A, and Vitamin D. It’s also an efficient vehicle of 13 essential nutrients and is the top food source of 9 nutrients in kids’ diets! #gonnaneedmilk #ad @gonnaneedmilk
