The Udder Truth: Fun & Fresh Facts About Wright’s Milk

Milk has been a staple in American kitchens for generations. And for good reason! At Wright’s, we believe in honoring the tradition of milk while delivering the freshest, most responsibly produced version possible. Whether you’re pouring it over cereal, frothing it for coffee, or using it to bake your favorite cake, here are some milk facts that might just surprise you.

Why This Classic Beverage Still Deserves a Spot in Your Fridge

The Stats on Dairy Don’t Lie

• The average American drinks 19 gallons of milk each year

• But despite its popularity, 9 out of 10 girls (ages 9–13) don’t get enough calcium—a nutrient milk provides naturally and abundantly

• Whole milk is 96% fat-free, despite the name! That creamy texture comes with fewer calories than most people think
  

Why Milk Matters

Milk isn’t just tasty! It’s packed with nine essential nutrients, including:

• Calcium

• Protein

• PotassiumVitamin D

• Vitamin B12

• Vitamin A

• Riboflavin

• Niacin

• Phosphorus
  

That makes it one of the most nutrient-dense beverages you can drink. No trendy health drink even comes close.

High Protein, Naturally

Milk is a naturally convenient, great-tasting, and affordable source of high-quality protein. Milk has about 1 gram of protein per ounce, meaning that just one 8-ounce serving of milk contains 8 grams of protein. Unlike some plant-based alternatives, milk’s protein is complete, with all the essential amino acids your body needs.
