National Dairy Month: Not Your Average Milkshake

Much of the country has been under a heat advisory for several days. We hit 105 yesterday in Indianapolis and I just really feel like sticking my head in the freezer. Since June is National Dairy Month, what better way to end the hottest and driest June with a tasty, frosty & frothy milkshake!

Everyone knows (don’t they?) that a milkshake is made with milk and ice cream, plain & simple.

For a boost in flavor, texture, and yes, even some vitamins too – try adding in one or more of the following:

  • 1/2 Cup Fresh berries or peeled & sliced peaches
  • 1 Tbs Flax Seed
  • 1/2 Cup Greek Vanilla Non-Fat Yogurt
  • Skim milk instead of 2% of whole
  • 1/4 Cup granola or trail mix
  • 2 Tbs Peanut Butter or Nutella
  • For the kids … food coloring! You can even divide the milkshake, color each differently, then layer into a glass.

Indiana’s Family of Farmers provided me with a bountiful bag of goodies to help my family try many new and familiar dairy treats for National Dairy Month.

I even learned a few things I didn’t know about Indiana’s connection to Dairy …

  • There is a dairy farm in each of the 50 states. Indiana has 1500 of them.
  • A whopping 98% of Indiana’s dairy farms are family-owned.
  • 2012 is the Official Year of the Dairy Cows at the Indiana State Fair.
  • Indiana ranks 2nd in the nation in low-fat and regular ice cream production.

And how about these fun facts about cows …

  • Cows drink a bathtub-full of water every day!
  • Cows can use their sense of smell up to six miles away!
  • Cows are creatures of habit and don’t like change. You might hear an impatient “Moo!” to tell the dairy farmer he or she is running late!
