    \n
  1. I love chocolate milk–it’s like having dessert without any guilt!\u00a0 I encourage my kids to have it for a quick breakfast, or after football\/soccer\/basketball\/exercise!<\/li>\n
  2. It comes in gallons.\u00a0 For a family who drinks about 8 gallons a week, I wish it came delivered!\u00a0 Skim is the best for my family, and we all drink it!<\/li>\n
  3. It is nutrient rich!\u00a0 As a Mom, I want my kids to have strong bones, and osteoporosis runs in my family–so it is even more important.<\/li>\n
  4. It is economical!\u00a0 A gallon is $2.70, and will last about a day–much cheaper and more tasty that a supplement!<\/li>\n
  5. It is so versatile!\u00a0 Today we can have pudding, or pour it on our oatmeal, or dunk a cookie, or add it to a dish we are making.\u00a0 It adds nutrients and richness to whatever we are making.<\/li>\n
  6. Ice cream–need I say more.\u00a0 My favorite is butter brickle.\u00a0 And chocolate.\u00a0 And Oreo Cookie.\u00a0 I guess I never met a bowl of ice cream that I didn’t like!<\/li>\n
  7. It’s a local product.\u00a0 All of my milk comes from within a 100 mile radius of where I live.\u00a0 I am supporting local dairy farmers with every glass we drink!<\/li>\n
  8. The farmers that provide my milk are extremely smart, dedicated, hard working people who care about their animals.\u00a0 Their dairy cattle are their lively hood–so of course they treat them well!<\/li>\n
  9. Evaporated versions make excellent soups and chowders.\u00a0 I can still get the smooth, creamy mouth feel of whole milk in a soup by using low-fat evaporated milk.\u00a0 All of the yum without all of the calories and fat!<\/li>\n
  10. It tastes good–I like mine extremely cold in a glass drinking glass.\u00a0 On a hot summers day–it tastes incredible!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
