Got Milk?

Well, most of my thoughts about food lately have been focused on nursing my newborn son, Ethan. There's not a whole lot of cooking going on around here. So instead of posting a healthy recipe, I'm going to dedicate this post to milk.

-Did you know you should consume 3 servings a day of dairy products?
-Dairy products have been shown to help maintain and achieve a healthy weight. Click HERE for some more of the benefits of dairy products and milk, specifically.
-Build strong bones by consuming adequate amounts of calcium, especially milk calcium. You can significantly reduce the risk of bone disease and fractures simply by increasing the amount of milk you consume.
-The phrase Got Milk? and spoofs off the phrase are used in many different ad campaigns. How have you used it? I hate to admit that I am not a milk drinker. I really don't care for the taste of milk. However, I LOVE yogurt. My favorite yogurt is Dannon Light & Fit in Cherry Vanilla flavor. At only 60 calories a cup and no sugar, it is a healthy and low calorie snack or breakfast.

What is your favorite way to consume your 3 a day?
