Great chocolate taste can help kids drink more of the milk
they need, thanks to NESQUIK LESS SUGAR
Dairy – every day
Nothing compares to the goodness of milk. With 15 essential nutrients, milk is the best source for calcium and vitamin D – two nutrients essential for building strong bones. Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends 2 to 4 servings of dairy products such as milk every day.* And dietitians agree – for growing kids and teens alike, milk is the number one source for these nutrients.
Milk matters a lot
Kids can't make up later for the milk they're missing out on now. By the end of adolescence, 90% to 95% of their total bone density is already built. (After that, the milk they drink works mostly to maintain the bone they already have.) That's why it's so critical for them to drink enough milk now, while they're growing.
Are kids missing out?
Surprisingly almost half of kids aren’t drinking milk with any meals.** Especially at lunchtime, when a surprising 3 out of 4 kids are drinking something other than milk.** This means most Canadian kids may not be meeting even the basic Food Guide requirements. So how can we get our kids to drink more milk?
It's not a treat – it's an essential
No matter how much kids love the taste, chocolate milk has all the goodness of white milk. And given the less nutritious (and sometimes sweeter) choices available at mealtime, chocolate milk can be a great ally. Not surprisingly, over half of moms say their kids drink more milk when it’s chocolate.** It’s a great way to complete any meal and help kids get the nutrition they need – every day.
