2 oats dairy= FILLING FOOD GAPS essential NUTRIENTS OATS + DAIRY = BETTER TOGETHER Dairy products and oats contain important nutrients that contribute to health and wellness. The concept of pairing is not new. Whether it s pairing foods to create a balanced meal or pairing wine with a favorite cheese, nutrition experts know that food combinations can enhance the flavor and nutrition of meals, and, ultimately, help meet health and wellness goals. Oats and dairy are an ideal pair. From oatmeal made with milk to a yogurt and granola parfait, paring oats with dairy foods helps: FILL FOOD & NUTRIENT GAPS: People aren t meeting the recommendations for whole grains or dairy foods. 1,2 Eating low-fat and fat-free milk, cheese and yogurt, along with oat-based products, such as oatmeal and oat bars, can help to close these food gaps and provides key nutrients to the diet. BRIDGE THE BREAKFAST BARRIER: Eating breakfast is linked to a healthier body weight, better nutrition and better school performance. 2-8 Yet, many people skip breakfast. A combination of oats and dairy foods in the morning is an easy way to help ensure a nutritious start to the day. MAKE GOOD NUTRITION SIMPLE: Oats and dairy foods have long been meal-time favorites. Enjoying them together creates affordable, delicious and nutritious meal solutions for the whole family. THE FACE OF TODAY S DIET While diets today do not fall short in calories, people are still far from meeting recommendations for key nutrients and foods. 1,2 Falling Short Many Americans* are missing the mark on dairy and whole grains, and the key nutrients that these foods provide - including calcium, vitamin D, potassium and fiber. 1,2 Making Nutrient-Rich Choices Swapping out nutrient-poor choices for nutrient-rich options will help fill the gaps while being mindful of calories. EATING BREAKFAST MAY HELP WITH BETTER COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND SCHOOL PERFORMANCE IN KIDS. 6-8 BREAKFAST: Approximately one out of five Americans skip breakfast. 9 85% DO NOT MEET DAILY DAIRY RECOMMENDATIONS SNACKS: 99% DO NOT MEET DAILY WHOLE GRAINS RECOMMENDATIONS *2 years and older.

Nutrition and Health Tremendous nutrition power can come from including oats and low-fat and fat-free dairy foods in a healthy diet. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans state that moderate evidence indicates intake of whole grains may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and is associated with lower body weight. 2 It also states that moderate evidence indicates intake of milk and milk products is linked with improved bone health, especially in children and adolescents, and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. 2 OATS AND DAIRY ARE COMPLEMENTARY OATS Heart Health* Key Nutrients for Health DAIRY Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Reduced Risk for Type 2 Diabetes Bone Health^ [ ] FIBER for digestive health, IRON for healthy blood cells, CALCIUM and VITAMIN D for strong bones, POTASSIUM for healthy blood pressure Oats + Milk = Protein + Fiber + 9 Key Nutrients potassium phosphorus magnesium vitamin A vitamin B12 riboflavin MORE THAN 1/3 OF KIDS* EAT CEREAL (HOT OR COLD) AND MILK FOR BREAKFAST.

ENDOSPERM: largest section and middle layer serves as the main energy source in the form of carbohydrate and protein. GERM: heart of the grain and the smallest part of the kernel loaded with nutrients like B vitamins, vitamin E, trace minerals and phytonutrients. DAIRY GOOD NUTRITION Dairy foods provide important nutrients adults and kids are falling short on.
