SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Having trouble getting your kids to drink enough milk to get their daily requirement of protein and calcium?
Maybe the Easter Bunny can help.
Hiland Dairy is bringing back Easter Egg Nog and Chocolate Marshmallow milk this spring because of customer demand. These flavored milk products combine the wholesomeness of milk with the flavors families enjoy during the holidays. Hiland Easter Egg Nog and Chocolate Marshmallow milk are available now and until Easter, April 5.
Just as Hiland Egg Nog is a tradition during the winter holidays, Easter Egg Nog is becoming a spring tradition. And who says chocolate and marshmallows should only be served hot? Not Hiland Dairy. Hiland Chocolate Marshmallow milk is proof this popular combination is delicious served cold. It’s super refreshing and provides lots of energy sustaining protein and calcium.
Many nutritionists are advising clients to add more protein to their diets.
While meat is the most obvious way to add protein to our diets, dairy foods, like milk, flavored milks and smoothies made with milk are excellent sources of protein. Cheese, yogurts and cottage cheese are also good sources, and many of these products now come in containers that are convenient to take on the go.
According to Rebecca Scritchfield, a registered dietitian and ACSM certified health fitness specialist, protein is a nutrient that supplies and sustains energy levels. Foods high in protein keep you feeling full and energized longer than sweets or snacks high in fats.
“Calcium is also an important nutrient throughout life and it’s something people have difficulty getting enough of,” Scritchfield said. “Milk is a great source for that.”
So go ahead and treat the kids to a delicious glass of Chocolate Marshmallow milk or Easter Egg Nog to help them get the proteins and calcium they’ll need for a healthy future. Remember, though, these seasonal favorites will disappear after Easter!
