Got Organic Milk? Review and giveaway!

Update*** Winner is Laura of A Day in the Life of a Mom of Six! Congratulations, Laura!

Did you guys know it is Brain Awareness Week? Well, it is. And
since it is Brain Awareness Week, I must acknowledge it and celebrate
it with nothing less than a giveaway! Oh, you know me, I love giving things away
almost as much as I love winning them!
I recently got to try a sample of Horizon Organics Plus with DHA. DHA is important for brain health. It is highly recommend for pregnant women and young children.

Can you just imagine being able to get DHA in your child's diet without force feeding them fish? I KNOW! Amazing, huh? But it is now in milk. But not just any milk, ORGANIC milk!

I am not a huge organic freak, despite my many crunchy ways, but I am not happy with the things put into the cows, like growth hormones and antibiotics. I don't want that stuff going into my growing children's bodies.

The government has decided that many of us are just too dumb to make our own decisions and have forbidden labeling of milk products stating that they don't have the growth hormone in many states. Mine included.
Horizon Organics Plus with DHA does not have those bad products in them. Their website states:
All Horizon Organic® dairy products are certified organic and meet the strictest
USDA organic standards. That means they're produced with no antibiotics, no
added growth hormones and no dangerous pesticides.

I don't drink milk at all. So my family did the taste-testing for me. Everyone said the milk was the same except for Donnie and Drew. They both said it definitely had a different taste. Drew wasn't fond of the difference, but said it wasn't bad. Donnie absolutely LOVED it and wants me to keep buying it.

Horizon has a whole line of organic products from milk and cream to cheese and eggs and Devon's favorite: Egg Nog.

I am very excited about the addition of DHA because it is so important to growing brains, but it is also vital for aging brains. It has been found to help the nervous system and the retina of the eye and help promote heart health.
Check out their website for more information, recipes and fun activities for the kids.

So what am I giving away? Milk, of course! Horizon Organics Plus with DHA. I have 3 coupons for free cartons of Horizon Organics Plus with DHA! I am going to give all 3 coupons to one person.

Leave a comment to be entered. The giveaway ends with the end of Brain Awareness Week on March 16th.
I will announce the winner on Prizey Winners, so you do not have to leave an email, but you do need to leave a nick name that is unique to identify you.
Just for fun, what is the price of milk in your area? It is around $4 a gallon here!

190 people think my kids are qtpies:

I'd love to win this. Milk is around $4 here too. :o

Tarasview said...

I would love to win! I've never tried Organic milk. Regular milk is about 4 dollars here too.

D said...

I have just started giving this to the foster kids we have. I think they can use any advantage possible to overcome all they've been thru. (sometimes lack of food)
Milk is about 4.00 around here too!

Laura Paxton said...

Our milk is about $3.85/gallon, which doesn't go far in our family, similar to yours I am sure! I have started buying Horizon's milk for my daughter and I to avoid the hormones affecting us ladies...I wish I could afford to feed it to my whole famiy!

Rockin' Mama said...

Hmmm...it depends on where I go...at Whole Foods it is definitely about $4+ for Organic. We drink Horizon and love it so this would be fab!

Wow, can anyone believe milk is now higher than gasoline per gallon...and the way things are going...not for long!

Anonymous said...

Organic milk here is about $5.50 for a gallon and about $3 for half a gallon (so more economical to buy the whole gallon).

We ONLY buy organic milk and other dairy products in our house. I would love to try this milk with DHA in it.

I drink a glass of milk a day, 1 bowl of cereal, 1 yogurt and cheese on my sandwich. Dairy helps you lose weight...I saw in on Oprah so it must be true. ;)

The cheapest milk available in my area is a Sam's club: $2.35/gallon for non-fat. Fortunately, it tastes good, because it's much more expensive in regular grocery stores. Unfortunately, the Sam's Club milk is not organic. I've tried the shelf-stable organic chocolate milk Horizon makes, and it's pretty good, so I'd love to try their other milks--thanks for the offer!
