As part of a balanced diet, three servings from this food group are recommended per day, increasing to five daily servings between the ages of 9-18 years.
However, you may be surprised to learn that dairy is also a natural source of many other important nutrients such as protein; but kids love dairy - so it's easy to make sure they get the goodness they need.
