Nutty Monkey Smoothie

Nutty Monkey Smoothie

Dairy foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt are rich in calcium, protein, and vitamins to help build strong bones and teeth. Eating dairy foods can lower your risk of developing a disease called osteoporosis that occurs when bones become weak and break easily. Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy milk or yogurt (or lactose-free dairy or fortified soy versions).
