These Cinnamon Bites are the PERFECT sweet after-school snack. In case you didn't know, there's always a VERY good reason to drink milk with dessert -- a glass of milk rounds out any treat with 13 essential nutrients, electrolytes, and extra hydration! So make sure they don't skip on the good stuff when they're having sweets. #easysnacks #nutritiontips

Are you getting enough iodine in your diet? 🤔 If you eat a balanced diet full of seafood, eggs, milk, and dairy products, you're probably fine. While iodine deficiency is rare in the U.S., it is still the leading preventable cause of intellectual disability. Iodine is an essential mineral with a crucial role in supporting thyroid function and maintaining overall health, and it's especially important for pregnant women. 🤰 In fact, pregnant and breastfeeding folks require significantly more iodine to support baby brain development.

The good news is, dairy products from chocolate milk to yogurt and beyond are an excellent source of iodine. Just one serving of yogurt provides a generous portion of your daily needs! 🥛🧠

Whether you're supporting your own health or that of a little one, if you want to be sure to get enough iodine, try incorporating more dairy products into your meals.

Happy belated #MothersDay to any soon-to-be mothers out there!! 🤰👶 Did you know that up to 75% of pregnant people may not be getting enough iodine? 😔 😱 This essential mineral plays a critical role in supporting a baby's brain development and maintaining thyroid function, but it's often overlooked in prenatal nutrition.

The good news is, U.S. dairy is an excellent source of iodine, with just one cup of milk providing almost half of your daily needs. 🥛 So if you're pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to include plenty of dairy products in your diet. Check out our website for more information on iodine and dairy. 👀 #MilkMeansMore #Iodine #PregnancyNutrition #expecting

$A calcium-rich diet helps you and your family build and maintain strong bones and teeth, reduce the risk of fractures and osteoporosis, and support overall physical health. Yet a large percentage of the U.S. population isn't meeting daily recommendations for calcium intake. Luckily, there are many convenient and delicious sources of calcium available, including milk. By supporting Michigan dairy farmers, you're helping to ensure that everyone has access to the essential nutrients they need to sustain strong, healthy bones and joyful lives. #MilkMeansMore #CalciumForAll 🥛👍$

Did you know that the atmospheric life span of methane is just 12 years, compared to 300 - 1,000 years for carbon dioxide? While methane is very potent, its short life cycle means we can face it head-on, now, by reducing methane emissions to net zero by 2050.

Climate change won't wait, and neither will innovative dairy farmers who are tackling it on their farms. They're paving greener paths into the future and reducing their climate impact by implementing creative solutions in manure management, water recycling, renewable energy, and more! 🌱 🐄

On some farms, manure can be converted into electricity and renewable natural gas that heat and power facilities. Plus, new technologies on farms help turn cow manure into helpful environmental resources, including manure pellets that are used to fertilize crops and liquid fertilizer. 🌎 Learn more at our link in bio.

Manure is kind of magic! 💩✨ Not only can cows transform food that's not digestible by humans (including food waste from manufacturing) into nutritious milk, but even the energy in a cow's own waste is packed with useful potential!

Manure management is a key path we're taking toward GHG neutrality in the dairy industry. On some farms, manure is converted into electricity and renewable natural gas that heat and power facilities. On others, new technologies turn this powerful stuff into helpful environmental resources, including liquid fertilizer and manure pellets to fertilize crops. All across our Michigan dairy farms, manure management is getting a lot of love and attention from farmers who want to build a better, greener world and leave our Earth better than we found it! 🌎 🌱 🐄
