What Milk Adds to a School Meal

Elena Boxey  |  Milk, Nutrition, School Meals

School is back in session! While the lunch line may look different this year, milk continues to be a fundamental and important component of school meals. Why milk?

Studies have proven that kids learn better when they are not hungry. But school meals aren’t just about filling tummies; they also play a significant role in the total nutrition your child receives each day. Making sure kids take and drink their milk is key to their long-term growth and development.

Each eight-ounce (oz) carton or glass of milk contains a nutrient package unlike any other beverage. Drinking a carton of milk at a school meal counts as one of the three servings of dairy children over the age of nine need each day. Two and a half servings of dairy a day is recommended for children two to eight years old.

Milk:

Fuels Bodies – Milk contains a powerhouse of essential nutrients. Each serving provides bone building components like high-quality protein, calcium and vitamin D, along with six other essential nutrients needed to keep our bodies healthy. Did you know it’s hydrating as well?

Students receive eight more grams of protein, as well as other nutrients critical for kids and teens, if they drink one 8-oz carton of milk with a school meal. By enjoying a carton of milk with school meals, students are increasing their nutrient needs more each day than without milk:

 

School Breakfast:
% Daily Value With Milk % Daily Value Without Milk
Calcium* 38% 14%
Vitamin D* 15% 2%
Vitamin B12 54% 21%
Potassium* 19% 10%

 

School Lunch:
% Daily Value With Milk % Daily Value Without Milk
Calcium* 41% 17%
Vitamin D* 14% 1%
Phosphorus 42% 23%

 

*Calcium, vitamin D and potassium are three of the four nutrients of public health concern identified by the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines. Percent Daily Value is a guide to the nutrients contributed in one serving of food and based on average nutrient needs of ages 4 to adult.

Fuels Enjoyment – Not only is milk nutritious, but it’s a cold delicious treat! Schools offer both unflavored and flavored milk options for students to enjoy. Whether they choose while or chocolate milk, fat free or 1%, rest assured any milk option offered in school provides your student with the same nine essential nutrients needed for good health. Flavored milk, such as chocolate or strawberry milk, contributes a minor amount of added sugar to children’s diets. Since 2007, the added sugar content in chocolate milk served in schools nationwide has significantly decreased.

If your student is not a school meal participant, remember to still put “milk moo-ney” in their backpack or school meals account so they don’t miss out!

Fuels Success – With full bellies, kids start their day with energy which can help them focus and concentrate to perform their best in the classroom. Healthy eating helps students grow and learn, and starting every day with a well-balanced breakfast, including a carton of milk, gives your child a good start in the morning with the fuel they need to be ready to learn.

Bonus – the milk served at school and sold at your local grocery store, comes from farms in your community!

  • Greek Yogurt Breakfast
  • Leisurely breakfasts are weekend luxuries for most of us. But tight weekday schedules don’t mean grabbing toast or a take-out sandwich. You can enjoy a delicious, healthy breakfast. Just keep preparation simple and start with fabulous, simple-to-use ingredients, like Greek yogurt. Why Greek yogurt? Creamy, versatile Greek yogurt is easy to use right out of the refrigerator. No cooking or chopping required. Best of all, it’s delicious and a nutrition powerhouse, providing protein (even more than regular yogurt), healthy probiotics and bone-building calcium.  Of course, there are many varieties of Greek yogurt and they’re not all the same. Shop for ones with less than 10 grams total sugar and at least 6 grams of protein per serving. What about fat in Greek yogurt? Greek yogurt comes in fat-free, low-fat and full-fat varieties. Lower fat levels provide fewer calories but lack some of the keep-you-feeling-full-until-lunch power of full fat yogurts. Higher in calories, full fat yogurts keep you feeling satiated longer and taste indulgently creamy. The bottom line on fat—choose the level that meets your needs. Bored with yogurt? You can just grab a carton of Greek yogurt out of the refrigerator and eat it. But I want more flavor in my breakfasts. Adding toppings quickly jazzes up yogurt. Drizzle it with a tiny bit of maple syrup, honey, chocolate sauce or caramel sauce. Then add fresh fruits, nuts, nut butters and/or seeds. It makes a delicious, nutrient-packed breakfast in just minutes.   If you have just a little more time, try a smoothie or yogurt bowl like the ones below. They’re creamy, refreshing and satisfying.   (Insert photo of Strawberry Peanut Butter Yogurt Bowl)   Strawberry Peanut Butter Yogurt Bowl (insert recipe link) mixes mashed banana (loaded with potassium) and a bit of honey with plain Greek yogurt. Then it’s topped with a dollop of peanut or almond butter (packed with more protein), fresh strawberries or blueberries (filled with vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants), a light sprinkling of mini chocolate chips (crammed with fun and flavor) and a few chopped peanuts or almonds (even more protein and fiber).   (Insert photo of Black Forest Smoothie)   The delicious and tasty combination of ingredients in Black Forest Smoothie (insert recipe link) might surprise you. It blends milk and Greek yogurt (abounding with protein, calcium and vitamin D) with frozen pitted cherries (full of vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants), black beans (laden with protein and fiber), unsweetened cocoa powder (brimming with antioxidants) and maple syrup. Although beans might sound unusual, they blend right into the mix.   (Insert photo of Ham, Swiss and Mango Corn Muffins)   Finally, if your breakfast style is grab and go, make these Ham, Swiss and Mango Corn Muffins (insert recipe link). Freeze them for up to 3 months, then just thaw and reheat, if you like, before eating. A combination of Greek yogurt, milk, Swiss cheese, egg and ham really packs protein into these savory muffins. And the bits of fresh mango contribute an invigorating tartness along with vitamins C and A.

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!

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 🥛👍

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!  🌎 🌱 🐄
