This September, help your family come together over family meals. An easy way to interest the younger members of your family is by choosing delicious dairy. Sweet yogurt parfaits, yummy chocolate milk, fruity smoothies, and cheesy sandwiches are offerings we are all tempted by. And they are temptations we can give into without the guilt!
Milk is a simple, delicious, and affordable source of complete protein, fueling your body with 9 essential amino acids. The high-quality protein milk provides helps you stay full, maintain a healthy weight, build lean muscle, and recover after exercise. Try these tasty dairy-based foods that family members from two to one hundred and two will enjoy and benefit from choosing.
Pizza is always a hit, especially when picky eaters can customize their next slice. The popular mini naan makes the perfect crust for a pizza. Heat the naan and let everyone mix and match to make their own perfect pizza. The options are only limited to what you set out. Provide a variety of sauces like pizza sauce and pesto, diced veggies like bell peppers and tomatoes, and plenty of cheeses and spices.
Try a kid-friendly smoothie as a light breakfast or quick snack. Combine yellow and white peaches, strawberries, almond butter, honey, and milk. Blend until smooth. Then, pour into a tall glass and garnish with a peach or strawberry. All that is left to do is to enjoy!
Of course, all kids love macaroni and cheese. These homemade mac and cheese casserole cups offer a childhood favorite that can be served as a side or a grab-and-go snack. Stir together milk and flour and let simmer to create a thick sauce. Combine cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses into the sauce. Add in the macaroni. Scoop the mixture into the paper muffin cups and top with more cheese. Bake, cool, and enjoy!
