I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019ll say it again, being a parent is hard. I joke but the struggle is real. Monday through Friday, I find myself waking the kids up and they are kicking and screaming.  Saturday finally rolls around and they are up before the sun.  Through much trial and error, mostly error, we have found pink milk is a major motivator in our house. Pink milk is more commonly known as strawberry flavored milk. Put some pink milk in their favorite Finding Nemo cup and getting up and out the door is slightly easier. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>        <\/p>\n

Every glass of milk we pour for ourselves and children provides us with nine essential nutrients. Milk is an excellent source of calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin and phosphorus, and a good source of protein, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin B-12 and niacin.  Milk does vary in fat and calorie levels depending on type<\/a>. Besides white milk, there are flavored milks like pink (strawberry), chocolate, vanilla, banana, salted caramel or even chocolate marshmallow.  Yes, these flavored milks do have added sugars but flavored milk can provide us with so many nutrients and it tastes great. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Why am I giving my kids extra sugar when the only person in this house who needs extra sugar is ME!<\/h3>\n

Looking at an eight ounce serving of milk, 12 grams of sugar are from the natural sugar in milk.  So anything over 12 grams would be the added sugar. One cup of strawberry milk has 28 grams<\/a> of sugar and the chocolate has 25 grams<\/a>. Each manufacturer has its own formula so the sugar content may vary slightly from flavored milk products.   How does this compare to other drinks? <\/p>\n
