Allergen Info
Milk
What is this food?
Recombined milk (milk that’s been processed and put back together). It’s a dairy drink that provides protein and some carbohydrates, plus fat.
Why it matters to health
Milk can support your daily needs because it has protein for building and repairing body tissues, and it also provides carbohydrates for energy. However, this type of milk also has saturated fat and cholesterol, so it’s best to watch portions—especially if you’re having milk often as a snack. It also has sodium, though it’s relatively low compared with many processed foods. Since you’ll likely have 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day, milk works best as a planned part of your snack or with meals rather than as an all-day drink.
Healthier tips
- Use milk as a snack add-on (e.g., with oats or fruit) or with meals, instead of sipping continuously.
- Choose lower-fat options when available (or smaller servings) to reduce saturated fat.
- If you’re watching sugar, pair milk with unsweetened ingredients (plain oats, banana, or berries) and avoid sweetened syrups.
- Balance your plate: include vegetables and fiber-rich carbs (like brown rice, kamote, or whole grains) in your meals so your overall day is more filling.
- For adults, a typical serving is about 1 cup (around 200–250 ml); adjust based on your overall food intake for the day.
