Homogenized Milk
HOMOGENIZED MILK
Homogenized or homo milk (meaning shaken up so the fat solids combine with the liquid), includes calcium, protein, potassium and vitamins A, B12, D, E and K. Because homo milk contains 3.25% milk fat, it’s more nutrient-dense (nutrients come from healthy fats). Plus, it’s ideal for frothing and adding to your latte or cappuccino.
For a lighter taste, 1% or 2% milk are options that are also a source of these essential nutrients.PARTLY-SKIMMED MILK
PARTLY-SKIMMED MILK
The term “partly-skimmed” means that some of the natural fats have been removed from the milk for a lighter-yet equally delicious-flavour and thinner texture. Partly-skimmed milk is available in 1% or 2% options, has fewer calories than other types of milk and very little fat. It’s also a great hydrator!
CHOCOLATE MILK& Flavoured Milk
CHOCOLATE MILK & FLAVOURED MILK
Who doesn’t love a cold glass of chocolate milk after a workout? Chocolate milk and other flavoured milks, such as strawberry, banana and even pumpkin spice, contain the same essential nutrients and lactose (milk sugar) as regular milk, usually with some added sugar.
BUTTERMILK
BUTTERMILK
Buttermilk is fresh milk with added bacteria culture. It’s tangy flavour and thicker consistency make for the perfect ingredient in baked goods, such as cakes, breads and biscuits.
WHOLE MILK
WHOLE MILK
Whole milk is the creamiest milk – a favourite of baristas and perfect for morning coffee or frothed milk drinks. Whole milk typically contains about 3.25% milk fat (though some are even a little higher) and is delicious over fresh berries in the morning.

MILK: FACTS VS. FICTION
Here are a few common misconceptions about milk.
Are there artificial hormones in milk?
No. Milk from Ontario dairy farms contain no trace of artificial growth hormones – their use has been banned in Canada since 1999. They do have a natural hormone called BST that helps them produce milk, but rbST, the artificial growth hormone, is strictly prohibited on Canadian dairy farms.
Are plant-based alternatives more nutritious?
Plant-based beverages can have different nutrition profiles, and more information can be found on nutrition labels. For tips on how to understand nutrition facts tables, visit the Government of Canada's Understanding Food Labels page.
