Horizon Chocolate Milk Review and Giveaway

My daughter doesn't normally get to drink chocolate milk but I recently made an exception.  Beyond her smoothie in the morning, she has started to resist drinking milk preferring diluted fruit juice (2-3 ounces of juice and 4-6 ounces of water).  Horizon produces an organic lowfat (1%) chocolate milk with DHA Omega-3.  She thought it was "yummy" and proceeded to drink the entire cup.  That is her version of a thumbs-up.  I had been concerned about the amount of sugar but there is less sugar in the Horizon lowfat chocolate milk than a regular cup of our local lowfat milk with 2 Tbsp of Hershey's chocolate syrup. 

Horizon also makes organic lowfat milk boxes in several flavors (plain, strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla).  As you know I am a big proponent of having healthy snacks and beverages for on-the-go.  The drinks are contained in shelf stable packaging making them a great alternative to juice boxes.

What is the deal with DHA?  There has been a lot of buzz about DHA in the media in the past several years.  DHA is supposed to support your child's growing brain.  DHA is often found in fish but many children do not get the recommended DHA which is why so many products are being fortified with it.  The DHA found in Horizon products is all-natural, vegetarian, and sustainable which is a relief for me as a mom. 

Founded in 1991, Horizon was the first company to supply the U.S. with organic milk at a national level.  Horizon supports sustainability with efforts such as renewable energy and converting hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland for organic agricultural use.  Horizon's products are produced without antibiotics, growth hormones, or pesticides and carry the USDA certified organic seal. Other dairy products produced by Horizon include yogurt, creams, butter, and cheeses.
