Milk and milk products
Milk is one of our staple foods in Aotearoa New Zealand. Drink it straight, add it to cereal, mix it into a smoothie, or use it for baking.

Milk products like milk, cheese and yoghurt provide energy, protein, vitamins and minerals including calcium. High-calcium foods help build strong bones. Choose low-fat milk and milk products for fewer calories and varieties with added calcium to support bone growth and density – particularly important for younger people who are growing and older people with poor bone density or osteoporosis.

If you are underweight or need extra energy, choose whole-milk products.
