Back-to-School Is Cool With Hiland

It’s almost time to load up the backpacks and dress the kids in their new duds for the first day of school — and Hiland Dairy is your partner in keeping your kids healthy and energized for school. Children need two-to-three servings of dairy every day for healthy bodies and strong teeth and bones, and Hiland offers low-fat products that kids love.

Make Lunchtime Dairy Time

With nine essential vitamins and minerals, milk is just what growing bodies need to stay healthy and fit with strong bones and teeth. Studies have shown that school milk programs are a valuable source of nutrition for kids, providing a healthy, low-fat source of dairy. And flavored milk — like Hiland Chocolate Milk and Hiland Strawberry Milk — tastes great and provides the same nutritional value as regular milk, with a fraction of the sugar contained in sodas.
