As you probably know, what you drink is just as important as what you eat. Beverages can be a key source of nutrition in our diets, and should be carefully selected. As a mom, I spend a lot of time trying to help my kids make smart choices about what foods and drinks they put in their bodies.

These Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins are a nutritious and delicious choice, and my kids love pairing them with an equally nutritious beverage–a glass of cold milk!

Before we get to the recipe, a few facts about milk that I’ve just learned. Milk alternatives have been gaining in popularity, and may seem like a simple swap for a dairy-free diet. It’s important, though, to know milk and milk alternatives are not created equal.

Nutrition-wise, unlike many non-dairy milk alternatives, real dairy milk is naturally nutrient-rich. In fact, few milk alternatives can match the full nutrient package found naturally in milk, which contains calcium, phosphorus, protein, potassium and B vitamins.

Looking at the ingredient list of dairy milk, a simple and wholesome beverage, you’ll see just three things- milk, vitamin A, and vitamin D. It is minimally processed and farm fresh. Many non-dairy alternatives, on the other hand, have 10 or more added ingredients including salt, added sugar or thickeners.

Also, at just about a quarter per serving, dairy milk delivers more nutritional value per penny than just about any other beverage. Fun Fact: the average American household spends about 10% of their budget on food – nearly $80 a week. One year of dairy milk will cost the average family $628 vs. $1,222 per year for vanilla almond milk. That’s nearly $600 per year in savings.*

Must be nice to have dairy milk. My child is allergic. Must also be nice to have eggs, also allergic. Not everyone chooses alternative foods out of choice.
