Bring milk’s high-quality protein to your life on the go with dairy-based smoothies!  

Life is busy, and your overall wellness shouldn’t be a low priority because of a full calendar. To meet your goals and achieve peak performance in your busy life, turn to real milk. Whether you’re working out or tackling your to-do list, milk provides the protein you need for peak performance. Every 8 oz glass of milk provides 8 grams of complete, high-quality protein to help you stay strong, energized, and focused. The natural, high-quality protein in milk helps you build lean muscle. The protein in milk can also help you stay full and maintain a healthy weight. 

Why Should I Make Smoothies with Real Milk? 

And that is not all milk in your smoothie can bring to your day. Milk is one of the best beverages for hydration. Milk’s natural electrolytes, carbohydrates, and high-quality protein make it more effective at improving hydration status and keeping you hydrated longer than water and sports drinks. 

Choosing real milk as a main ingredient in your smoothies is an accessible, affordable option. Milk’s high-performance protein can’t be matched by most alternative beverages. Real milk provides complete, high-quality protein whereas most plant-based proteins are incomplete. Compared to other sports drinks, milk is a nutritional bargain, providing complete, high-performance protein at approximately 25 cents per 8-ounce glass. It’s the obvious choice.
