Hello everyone! Finally, spring is really here! For me, this spring is a definitely a time of change as I hand off the Oneida County Dairy Princess position to someone new. I have had the amazing opportunity to represent Oneida County’s number one industry and nature’ s most nearly perfect food throughout the past year, and hope I have taught you a little about dairy products that you may not have known before. My involvement has also influenced me to wish to remain involved in agriculture, so I will be attending Cornell University in the fall to major in animal science in the hopes of becoming a large animal veterinarian. Though I am sad to hand off my crown, I am very excited to see who will be representing our industry to you next, and ensure you that she will teach you even more than I did! So remember to consume 3 servings of dairy products, especially milk, cheese, and yogurt, every day in order to build a strong foundation of strong bones, lean muscles, and healthy skin, teeth, and hair. With milk’s 9 essential nutrients, so many benefits are provided that make it truly a terrific value for your money, no matter what age you or your family may be. Consuming dairy is such an easy way to stay strong, so simply remember these tips and you are on the right track to having a healthy lifestyle! Here’s an easy recipe for a breakfast shake to start your day off right, with dairy! Banana Breakfast Shake 1 ½ c. skim milk 1 med. Banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen ½ tsp. vanilla ¼ tsp. almond extract Cinnamon for garnish In a blender, combine all ingredients except cinnamon. Blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. Pour into glasses and garnish with cinnamon. Makes 2 servings. Enjoy! |
