Nutrition Value Tips

Dollar for Dollar, Dairy Delivers

Dairy products are one of the most economical sources of nutrition in the grocery store. When you invest in dairy, you get a big return in nutrition to help maintain a balanced diet for you and your family.

Milk

Milk is an excellent way to help meet your daily protein and calcium needs — which are key factors in growth and development of bones and teeth. Plus at only 25 cents a glass, it is more wallet-friendly than other nutritional beverages.

Moo-lah Saving Tip

Buy milk by the gallon to stretch your dollar and provide a nutrient-rich dairy drink for your family.

Cheese

One ounce of cheese provides 8 grams of protein — approximately 16% of the daily recommended allotment.

Penny Pinching Tip

Buy cheese by the block and shred or cut into individual portions for a fun snack.

Yogurt

In just one 8-ounce serving, yogurt delivers nearly half of your daily calcium needs.

Stretch Your Dairy Dollars Tip

Buy low-fat, plain yogurt by the quart and flavor it yourself or add as an ingredient for healthier meals.
