How much spinach would we need to eat if chocolate milk wasn't on the menu?

Interesting tidbit - Did you know you would need to eat 10 cups of spinach to get the same amount of calcium in 1 cup of fat-free chocolate milk!


OK!  You tell me how many kids would be able to consume 10 cups of spinach in a year, let alone let it happen in one day!


Moms - yes, you are doing the right thing by buying for your home and encouraging your kids to drink chocolate milk at school.  There is no other drink that packs the punch of the important 9 nutrients.  Kids today are lacking vitamin D, calcium and potassium.

  1. We eat that much spinach every day ~ multiple times via our green smoothies. It has all of the nutrients needed and none of the sugar/High Fructose Corn Syrup as store bought chocolate milk. And then we chase our green smoothies with raw (white) milk from grassfed jersey cows. Mmmm.....
