Milk Days at The Berta Breakfast Program

We often share about the nutritional benefits of the Berta breakfast program, but did you know we also serve warm milk several times a week?

Milk is a nutritional powerhouse as well as a complete food containing protein, fat, and carbohydrates. It also provides the children with:

🥛Protein – contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle

🥛Calcium & Phosphorus – essential for strong bones and teeth

🥛Vitamin B12 – boosts energy and reduces fatigue

🥛Vitamin B2 – helps build red blood cells

🥛Potassium – supports your nervous system and healthy blood pressure

🥛Iodine – supports healthy cognitive function

🥛Fat – one of the three essential macronutrients; provides energy and vitamins

We also purchase milk and eggs through our Health Services program for anyone who is chronically ill or who needs extra nutrition and protein!
