Dairy Council of Nevada – NevadaMilk.com

NevadaMilk.com is an online, nutrition education hub powered by the Dairy Council of Nevada, dedicated to expanding consumers' nutrition knowledge, especially when it comes to including dairy at family mealtimes. The site provides science-based information on dairy's nutrition profile, affordability, and versatility. Through their team of community registered dietitians, they operate as the go-to dairy nutrition experts for our state.

The primary target audience for NevadaMilk.com is families with young children. The organization’s resources and recipes are designed to help families harness all dairy has to offer to help promote their children's brains, bones, and bodies.
