Springs arrival tend to renew everyone's push to get or stay fit.  Some choose to toss in an evening walk while others really pull out the stops as they train for  a 5k or triathlon.  I'm more of a push the stroller all over kind of girl myself.

Regardless of what your Spring Fitness routine is, the Midwest Dairy Council wants you to keep in mind that dairy is a great way to fuel your body with the energy it needs for your chosen routine.

"Here are just a few ways milk can pack a punch: 

Milk’s nine essential nutrients play an important role in fueling an active lifestyle. Drinking milk can be an ideal way to help the body refuel, rehydrate and recover after a workout.  Additionally, research published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism on young adults showed that chocolate milk is twice as effective as commercial sports drinks to refuel exhausted muscles. Part of this is due to its ideal carbohydrate to protein ratio.  Also, whey protein is a high-quality protein found naturally in dairy foods, and it provides the protein your body can best use to help promote better health. It helps you get the most out of your workout by speeding muscle recovery after exercise and helping build and maintain lean muscle. "

Looking for something quick?  Try this protein-packed Peanut Butter and Banana Breakfast Shake.  I made it the other day substituting SoyNut Butter for the Peanut Butter (nut allergy) and the kids all loved it.
