As a mom to two young kids, I am always looking for healthier swaps of the foods we love. Achieving total wellness is a goal of mine for myself and my family, and one component is healthy eating but with kids we all know you have to introduce changes slowly and that must also taste great in order to get the little one on board for the change.
My kids drink a lot. I cannot keep milk and juice stocked in the house and I am always looking for healthy beverages to replace our current norm. If you peruse the milk aisle of your local Walmart you will see tons of dairy drinks. I decided to try Hood Calorie Countdown as a replacement for our usual milk purchase this month. I am happy to say that Hood Calorie Countdown is a dairy beverage that has 42% fewer calories, 75% less sugar and 67% fewer carbohydrates than milk AND my kids love it! The consistency is smooth and milky; the taste is creamy and delicious.
Here is a COUPON in case you need extra incentive to give this dairy beverage a try! Soon you will be counting the ways you got to a better lifestyle.

Add to cereal. I love with any low calorie cereal and my kids like it with their fruit loops!

Calorie Countdown comes from Hood, which is a leader in high quality dairy products. Also, I find it worth noting that Calorie Countdown is made with milk from farmers who pledge not to use artificial growth hormones. You can check them out on Facebook and Instagram!
