Helpful Tips!

Because the natural, good bacteria in the yogurt break down some of the lactose in milk, many people who have lactose intolerance can eat yogurt. It is a great source of calcium!

Pineapple juice is sweet, and the apples taste good dipped in the juice. But did you know it also keeps the apples from turning brown? Orange juice also works.
