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

Want a little window into where milk comes from and how it's produced in Michigan? 👀 Many farms have been in families for generations, and farmers take their responsibility to be more efficient and make sustainably produced food seriously, because doing so is in the best interest of their cows and their livelihoods. 

This MI dairy farm is leading the way in sustainable dairy production -- using innovative technology and renewable energy to reduce their environmental impact while producing high-quality milk for their local community.  To support sustainable farming practices in our MI communities, go learn more at our link in bio! 🌱🐄 #sustainability #familyfarming #milkislocal

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

The only thing better than comfort food is easy-to-make comfort food that the whole family will love. This week is the perfect time to try making Cheeseburger Macaroni Casserole from scratch 🍔🧀🤤 ⁣
⁣
This super-cheesy recipe from our friends @undeniablydairy requires minimal chopping (and dishes), making it perfect for busy weeknights. ⁣
⁣
Ingredients: ⁣
Non stick cooking spray ⁣
1 medium yellow onion, chopped ⁣
1 pound lean ground beef ⁣
2 teaspoons garlic powder ⁣
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce ⁣
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste ⁣
1/4 teaspoon black pepper ⁣
3 garlic cloves, minced ⁣
1 pound whole wheat elbow macaroni, or whole wheat penne or rotini pasta ⁣
16 ounces tomato sauce ⁣
4 cups low-sodium beef broth ⁣
1/4 - 1/2 cup milk, fat level of choice ⁣
3/4 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt ⁣
1 3/4 cups shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese ⁣
Parsley, or scallions, chopped to garnish ⁣
⁣
Instructions: ⁣
1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven with cooking spray. Add onion and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. ⁣
2. Add ground beef to pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper. Cook until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant; drain fat if needed. ⁣
3. Stir in tomato sauce, uncooked macaroni and beef broth and bring to a boil. 4. Lower heat to a simmer, cover and cook until pasta is al dente (about 7 minutes), stirring occasionally. ⁣
5. Remove from heat. Stir in Greek yogurt and milk. Stir in 1 1/4 cups of cheese, continue stirring until cheese is melted. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.⁣
6. Top with remaining cheese. Heat in the oven at 350 until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes. Garnish with parsley or scallions if desired. Serve immediately.

Know a kid who could use some protein bites, so they don't forget to eat & refuel after all that exercise?  Don't let them forget a glass of milk to hydrate & replenish nutrients, either!
