Hot Chocolate Milk

Real Milk. Real Chocolate. Real Good.

“We love being able to offer a warm drink to students, especially on a cold day. The students really enjoy having this new option—probably as close to Dunkin’ as we can get! The kids appreciate it, and we’ve noticed an increase in breakfast participation on days when it’s available.”   – Melanie Wilk, RDN, Director of Food Service, Chicopee Public Schools, Massachusetts

Flavored Milk In School

Flavored Milk is part of school meal programs because it provides the same nutrition as white milk in a package kids prefer. Students drink less milk when flavored options are removed. Learn more about and access resources for flavored milk in schools.
