Because i love it
The whole cow’s milk is my quick protein if I need a snack after a football game or to enhance the protein content of oatmeal, smoothies, pancakes, soup, cereals and others. In addition, children also enjoy it!

You can also add protein powder to rice or almond milk if it is on the low side.
