The Product of the day is LACTAID!
For me, lactaid is a necessity due to lactose intolerance but I have loved the nutritional benefits that come along with it!! It provides the benefits of dairy plus some :)

CALCIUM:
One serving of lactaid contains 50% of your daily recommended amount of calcium. This promotes strong bones, cardiovascular system and nervous system

VITAMIN D:
Check the label, but the majority of lactaid products contain a good amount of vitamin D. This has been shown to help the absorption of calcium, prevent inflammation and promote bone growth.

PROTEIN:
Dairy is an excellent source of healthy, low fat proteins. My favorite Lactaid is HEB's Mootopia which has 12 g of protein as opposed to skim milk which only has 8 g.

Lactaid comes from cows that have not been treated with an artificial growth hormone and contain magnesium, potassium and vitamin A. Lactaid also has a sweeter taste than normal milk does which might suit a sweet tooth better. Don't let this decieve you, lactaid has half the sugar than the average glass of skim milk (6 g as opposed to 12 g)
