We drink a lot of milk in our house, two of my children would drink milk all day long if they could, while my middle daughter merely tolerates it and has only the tiniest trickle on her cereal in the morning, which is very frustrating as I worry about her calcium intake, especially as she is very active and does a lot of sport.
When the kids have a bad day and come home from school upset or worried about something, my sure fire way to cheer them up is with an ice cold glass of milk and homemade chocolate brownie, or if it’s cold we’ll sometimes have a hot frothy milk, maybe with a sprinkle of chocolate powder, then we sit down together, chatting about our day, nine times out of ten the comfort of the milk and time together makes them forget whatever had happened to make them sad.
There’s just something so comforting about milk isn’t there? If I have a sore tummy or can’t sleep for some reason milk with a little honey always helps me feel better. I like Cravendale especially as it just tastes so pure, and seems to last a lot longer than other brands, which I’m told is because the filtering process removes more bacteria.
What’s your favourite way to drink milk?
We don’t like to waste food in our house, but in the interest of learning we’ve done a few science experiments with milk, it really is the most versatile substance.
Have you tried any of these?
Making colourful milk.
Make plastic milk
How about making your own ice cream with milk?
Or glue from milk?

Science experiments with milk – steals these ideas straightway. Commenting for myself and on behalf of BritMums and thanking you for taking part
Who knew there was so much fun stuff you could do with milk? I’ll definitely be trying some of those experiments with my 10 year old as he loves anything like that!
Love those little milk bottles and straws, how adorable! My kids haven’t really been into milk all that much since they stopped having their bedtime bottle but I do try and get a much down them as possible. I could drink milk all day, I love it x
We love milk here. My farther in law is a dairy farmer
We did the Cravendale post too and genuinely loved the taste of the Cravendale milk. Your little bottles and straws look very cute!xx
I had no idea you could do so much with milk! x
I like the idea of the science experiments. Sadly I’m the only milk drinker in the house. H breastfed for ages, but never liked cow’s milk.
The colourful milk looks fab, what a great idea. We are fans of warm milk, especially in the colder season when we usually get home from the school run a bit wet and worse for wear. Cuddles under blankets in pj’s with warm milk and a biscuit…there’s nothing better!
My older children love Hot Chocolate or milkshakes. Pickle is lactose intolerant though. az x
I always choose cravendale over normal milk – love an ice cold glass
