What’s a serve? – Dairy Edition 🧀

Not sure how much dairy counts as one serve? This simple serve chart by age will help you understand exactly what you need from the milk, yoghurt and cheese food group.

🧩 Why it matters:
The milk, yoghurt and cheese group provides essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin D to support strong bones, muscle function, and overall health, especially for growing kids and active players.

📏 Why serving sizes are important:
Getting the right amount ensures you meet your daily nutrient needs without over- or under-fuelling. Serving sizes help you balance your intake and make healthier choices throughout the day.

Let’s fuel smarter and play stronger!
