Tips for Moms & Dads from Milk Unleashed

• Fill the refrigerator and pantry with flavored and white milk in single serving cartons for healthy snacks on the go
• Pop frozen individual serving shelf safe milk cartons into children's lunch boxes, instead of a juice box
• Offer flavored milk as a special treat, it has the same nutrients and only a small amount of added sugar
• Get creative with white milk by using a drop of food coloring, adding your child's favorite color
• Model for your child, if they see you enjoying milk they will be more likely to want to join you in drinking it
