If you've never been on a dairy farm, you might not know it's a lot different than many people imagine! On our local Michigan dairy farms, we see cows chilling, resting, snacking, walking, receiving daily care, socializing, and chewing their cud. That's how they spend most of their day!

To learn more about how cows live on the farm, follow us and go read more at

Take this great food waste-reducing tip from @livingplanetfriendly this Earth Month!! 🌎 🥛

Don’t waste that almost-expired gallon of milk in your fridge, make yogurt instead!

Click the link in our bio to learn more about changes dairy farmers are making to best care for their cows and our environment.

How to make Greek Yogurt:
Add milk to a large pot over medium heat and stir until simmering. Use a digital thermometer to check the temperature, which should reach 180°F. Remove from heat and stir occasionally. Let the yogurt cool down to 115°F.Take a cup of milk and whisk 2-3 tablespoons of yogurt with active and live cultures. Add to the dutch oven and stir well to mix evenly. Close the lid and place your dutch oven in the (off) oven with the light on for 8-10 hours until the yogurt is set.Once the yogurt is set, strain through a cheesecloth over a colander and bowl in the fridge for 12 hours. Transfer to an airtight container and enjoy!

milk is an easy nutrition hack to sneak into your busy lifestyle to help you reach your daily protein goals, hydrate with electrolytes, refuel after workouts, and get 13 essential nutrients all in one package.

those 13 essential nutrients include ones you may not be getting enough of, such as protein, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B12, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorus, pantothenic acid, zinc, selenium, iodine, and potassium.

how do you sneak dairy into your diet to get its benefits without much effort? we like to add it to coffee and lots of recipes! check out our website for lots of easy breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and beverage ideas at

None of us stand alone. 👭 Share this with someone who brings the strengths to the table that you need, and who needs the strengths that you bring, too! 😘

Plants pack that fiber punch, while dairy provides high-quality protein and other essential nutrients like calcium. Together, they can help you make sure you're getting enough of several nutrients many of us aren't meeting the guidelines for (calcium, potassium, fiber, and vitamin D)!

What's your favorite dairy + plants power dish? @adventureswithannie loves fruit + yogurt bowls! 🍓 🥛 🥣 ✨

1️⃣ Chocolate milk is the perfect hack for refueling fast after a workout — especially when it feels much easier for me to grab a glass when I get home than it is to shake up a protein shake before my shower. It has the perfect balance of carbs and 8g of protein your body needs at that point.

2️⃣ I can't wait to get my chocolate milk after my workout! It's a perfect little treat that gives me a little boost when I wrap up my exercise routine. Honestly, I just find myself looking forward to it and enjoying it more than I thought I would!

3️⃣ It includes more good stuff in one package than other options I've tried. After a workout, I don't want to worry about multiple different beverages. Chocolate milk helps me, all in one, to hydrate while replenishing electrolytes AND bringing protein and other nutrients to the table. Milk is a great source of the complete protein you need, electrolytes like sodium and potassium, and 10 other essential nutrients.

What's your post-workout routine? Let us know in the comments!

Here it is👇:

Many people don't understand that a dairy farmer's main priority is keeping their cows safe, healthy, and comfortable. It's not just the right thing to do, it's the only thing that makes sense. Healthy, comfy cows produce more high-quality milk, so cow well-being is a farmer’s top priority. Learn more below and follow us @milkmeansmore for more cow content!

✅ Cow Comfort: Comfortable cows produce more milk, and Michigan is ranked first in milk production per cow – at 15% above the national average.

🐄 Dairy Cow Lifestyle: Did you know dairy cows only spend around 15-21 minutes/day being milked? They’re milked 3 times, for 5-7 minutes each trip, and spend the rest of the day resting, eating, socializing, walking, in daily care, etc.

🌎 Cow Care + Sustainability Wins: Great cow care practices (like providing the most nutritious feed) overlap with practices that improve a farm’s environmental impact, so it’s a win-win-win!
