5 ways to celebrate National Milk Day on Wednesday

Some pour it over cereal, some sip it with a warm chocolate chip cookie and some chug it straight from the bottle.

Either way, milk often complements life’s little indulgences. And whether you prefer your milk to be of the soy, almond, cashew, coconut, hemp, goat, chocolate or classic variety, there’s more than one way to enjoy it on National Milk Day on Wednesday.

Their creamy coconut milk tea is made with coconut flavor, non-dairy milk, black tea and water.

Cereal Milk
