To be absolutely frank, I've never really been a fan of milk.
My mom used to grumble that I was one of the most difficult kids to raise because I didn't like to drink milk and I refused most dairy products. I was skinny and underweight as a child, and she was so worried I was undernourished. Thankfully, as I grew older, I began to develop a liking for fresh milk. I still didn't like powder milk, but I would drink fresh milk, and I especially like them in my tea. Now that I am a mom, this milk-drinking business became even more real to me. My mother-in-law, who's a firm believer that kids should drink milk as part of their daily diet for as long as they can, keeps reminding me of that every day. That is the reason why Joey still drinks plenty of fresh milk everyday now even though she is already in Primary School.
Greenfields sent me samples of their fresh milk products and I couldn't be happier. There was something for everyone!
Joey & Jayne = Chocolate Malt (Nutritious & Delicious!)
Hubby = Regular Fresh Milk (For muscle-building!)
Mother-in-law = High-Calcium Skimmed Milk (Elderly needs more calcium!)
Me = High Calcium Low Fat Milk (I need to lose some pounds, thankyouverymuch.)
For those of you who do not know, Starbucks uses Greenfields milk for their beverages, and I can totally understand why. Even as a non-fan of milk in general, Greenfields Milk really tastes better than some other brands I've tried. There is this freshness in the milk that you can taste in every mouthful - And there is a reason for that.
Greenfields originates from Indonesia, and they produce what we call 'HONEST MILK'. Their integrated dairy farm is based at Gunung Kawi, Malang, East Java and has over 6,000 Holstein cows which produce over 20 million litres of fresh milk each year. They do not merely label their milk as fresh; they produce it for real. And that is the reason why Greenfields is so confident of their milk quality. All the milk comes from their own scientifically-sourced and managed herd and does not include additives, chemicals, antibiotics and hormones – just all natural honest milk. Their milk is produced, pasteurised and packed within the dairy and it is single-pasteurised, ensuring optimal freshness. As a consumer, I can be assured of the quality of milk I purchase from them. Now, that's so awesome, isn't it?
As a mom of young kids, I would definitely choose products that are fresh and contain no additives/chemicals that can cause potential harms to my kids' health. This is especially important when I am talking about a beverage that they drinking milk in large quantities on a daily basis over a substantial period in their childhood. Even for myself, I would opt for good and natural fresh milk anytime so that I can stay healthy and strong.

Greenfields Milk is certainly my choice of milk for obvious reasons - It's fresh with no additives and chemicals, and it tastes GOOD! Every mom wants the best for their kids, and I am no exception. If you have not tried Greenfields, I urge you to try it and taste the difference for yourself. :)
On a side note, did you know that you can use milk in your cooking as well? Since I've got such good quality milk at home, I thought it would be great to make a dessert for everyone in the family with it. Here's sharing my really simple recipe for MANGO JELLY!
Ingredients:
200 ml of Greenfields fresh milk
1 packet of Agar Agar powder
2 Large Fresh mangoes
1 packet of pre-packed Nata de coco
1 of the mangoes is to be cut into cubes and the other mango to be made into puree.
In a pot of 200ml of boiling water, add the milk, mango puree and agar agar powder. Keep stirring on low heat. Prepare 10-12 cups, scoop in mango cubes and nata de coco. Once everything's dissolved in the pot, scoop in the mixture into the cups equally.
Leave the cups in the fridge overnight and they are ready to be eaten!
Mango Jelly made with fresh Greenfields Milk - Refreshing, healthy and yummy! =D
