Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 Review and giveaway


Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 was a hit with my family. My family loves milk. Especially chocolate milk. I use milk in my shakes after coming home from the gym from my workouts. We had not ever tried organic milk. The milk was easy to find in the milk aisle. I arrived home and poured it in cups for the family to try. They all loved it and could not taste anything weird or different. There is always that misconception that something being organic might not taste good or might taste weird. After reading the nutritional facts and organic facts I was glad that my family loved it.

DHA Omega-3 facts-
DHA belongs to a category of healthy fatty acids known as Omega-3's. Found
in high concentrations in the tissues of the brain and eye, DHA Omega-3 is
thought to help support healthy function in these areas. DHA has also been
shown to help support heart health.
DHA provides a nutritional boost for children's growing minds and bodies.
Children's brains grow incredibly fast. In fact, the brain nearly quadruples
in the first five years of life.
DHA is a key structural component of the brain, yet many young children
don't get their recommended daily amount of DHA as it is found in a limited
number of food sources.
Horizon Organic Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 is fortified with a natural, 100
percent vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA - a safe, wholesome,
delicious way to bring more of this important nutrient into your family's
diet.

Flavored Milk is a Nutrient-Rich Beverage
·Flavored milk provides the same nine essential nutrients as
unflavored milk (calcium, potassium, phosphorous, protein, vitamins A, D,
B12, Riboflavin and niacin), and can help kids meet their calcium
requirements.
·Flavored milk consumers did not have higher total fat or calorie
intakes than non milk consumers
Kids Love the Taste of Flavored Milk
·According to 2005 USDA data, 66% of the milk chosen by children in
schools is flavored

Chocolate Milk is an Effective Post-Exercise Recovery Beverage
·A 2006 study showed that low fat milk was as effective at
post-exercise rehydration as sports drinks
·Because of the natural carb:pro ratio in flavored milks, low fat
chocolate milk is an effective post-exercise recovery beverage.
oThe appropriate carb:pro ratio for improving endurance performance is
about 4:1 However, effective ranges can vary from 2:1 and up to 5:1.
·Consuming carbohydrate and protein post workout has been shown to:
oEnhance muscle glycogen formation
oPromote a hormonal environment that encourages muscle growth
oPromote muscle protein production
oMay lessen immune-suppressive effects due of intense exercise

I have never tried organic milk so I would like to see if it has a different taste than regular milk.
