Alternative milks like nut, soy, and grain milks are becoming a trendy pick at the grocery store, so they are becoming more prevalent in children’s diets now too. Is it a healthier choice for your child? Well, it’s not so simple of an answer, so let’s break it down a bit. For more insight, visit the links below.
Why choose dairy milk? 1. Excellent source of protein for overall development (8g per 8oz serving) 2. Great source calcium and phosphorus for bone development (300mg calcium / 200mg phosphorus per 8oz serving) – Vitamin D added to whole milk as well! 3. Healthy fats for brain development (8g per 8oz serving)
Why choose a milk alternative? 1. No lactose and milk protein for those with allergies/intolerances or living a vegan lifestyle. 2. Micronutrients (calcium, vitamin D, etc) added to increase its nutrient profile 3. More flavor opportunities for better acceptance amongst the options

How many times have you put something away, like Ketchup, not entirely sure if it should be put in the refrigerator or the pantry? Typically, most labels will tell you whether or not to refrigerate after opening, but sometimes it’s not as intuitive. Not only can keeping a food item cool keep bugs out to avoid food poisoning, but it may also extend its shelflife and allow you to enjoy the best of its flavor for a longer period of time. Here is a list of some foods you may want to start storing in your fridge to maintain quality: https://www.eatright.org/food/home-food-safety/safe-food-storage/10-surprising-foods-you-should-be-refrigerating
