St. Louis Dairy Council Representative Joyce Fikri was a guest on the WTIM Morning Show Monday Morning. Fikri talked about some of the many reasons why we need dairy products in our diets. One of those reasons was the large amounts of protein in dairy products, and why that can help with your diet.

Fikri talked about how it’s important to use the dairy you buy, and to be careful not to let any of it go to waste.

Some of those hints included using milk in your oatmeal instead of water, as well as swapping out the water in a smoothie you make in the morning in favor of milk.
