Today’s dairy case looks much different than it did 50 years ago, making it easy to meet the federal government’s dietary recommendations for three servings of dairy a day. And, portable packaging makes it convenient to grab dairy products on-the-go, or as part of a healthy breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Milk

For many years, milk has been hailed as nature's most perfect food. In addition to tasting great, milk is incredibly nutritious. Whether it’s whole or fat-free, white or chocolate, milk is a naturally nutrient-rich food that provides calcium, potassium, other minerals, vitamins and protein.  A diet that includes three servings of milk may help reduce the risk of osteoporosis, high blood pressure and colon cancer.

Cheese

Whether grated atop pizza, sliced and served with fruit, or melted over a favorite vegetable, cheese is a highly versatile and nutritious food. And, just one, 1-ounce serving is a quick and easy way to get 20% of your daily calcium needs. Cheese can be made from whole to fat-free milk. Different ingredients and methods used during the making and aging of cheese result in a wide variety of available cheeses - each with its own distinct texture and delicious flavor profile.

Yogurt

Yogurt is one of the most versatile dairy products. Loaded with calcium, riboflavin, and protein, yogurt has many benefits and can be enjoyed on its own as a snack or as a low-fat substitution in some of your favorite recipes, such as dips and desserts. One of yogurt’s most powerful benefits is the presence of probiotics (such as Acidophilus), or living microorganisms that when consumed in sufficient amounts provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. For example, probiotics can help promote a healthy digestive system.
