With school sports starting back up, are your kids always hunting for a snack after practice? We’ve got 7 easy and delicious kid snacks that pair perfectly with milk to keep them satisfied until dinner.
Milk is the perfect post practice snack — it replaces the water and minerals your body loses during a workout. And, thanks to its naturally high levels of protein and fat, milk has enough calories to fuel muscle and joint recovery. In fact, chocolate milk is many athletes' go-to recovery beverage of choice.
With fall sports underway and plans to return to a normal high school sports year, we're welcoming back student-athletes in the Sac-Joaquin, Central and North Coast Sections with new, limited edition commemorative milk cartons. Look for them in a store near you through October. To date, we've honored more than 300 section-winning teams, scholar athletes and Hall of Fame members on our cartons released over the years.
