Milk has always been a staple in our house, but it has been especially so since our twin preemies turned one. The pediatrician told us that whole milk was a must in their diet. Luckily, we have never had a problem with getting any of our 3 children to drink it. In fact, our twins still drink up to 24oz every single day.

In addition to the added fat, I think milk is a great source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D for children and adults alike. Since my children love whole milk without any frills, I only add things to it occasionally for treats. Sometimes I make chocolate milk, but a very special treat would be a chocolate or vanilla milk shake.
