The Unique Benefits of Ultrafiltered and Protein Milk for an Active Lifestyle

The Importance of Milk for an Active Lifestyle

Whether you enjoy it in your cereal each morning or rely on it in between training sessions, milk has tons of benefits to offer. Besides its great taste, it contains protein, vitamins, and calcium, making milk a favourite for people who pursue a balanced lifestyle.

Ultrafiltered milk, known for being rich in protein, has been gaining popularity lately for its unique benefits. This includes Dairyland’s Joyya Ultrafiltered Milk Products, made with 100% Canadian milk. Joyya offers a range of options, including 0%, 2%, and 3.25% varieties, along with a chocolate flavour for an extra treat.

Another product that’s rich in protein is our award-winning Dairyland 18g Protein Beverage, available in 2% and 3.25% varieties. It is not made with ultrafiltered milk, but it is made with 100% Canadian milk.
 
These products showcase indeed the best of this innovative process.  For dairy lovers, these tasty new products bring with them a very good question: what are their benefits for maintaining an active lifestyle? Let’s explore this question together and try to find a definitive answer to it.

What Makes Ultrafiltered Milk and Protein Beverages Special 

Ultrafiltered milk offers many great benefits due to its undergoing ultrafiltration, a process that concentrates its natural nutrients while reducing lactose, the natural sugar in dairy products. This process creates a milk with distinct advantages, as Dairyland Joyya Ultrafiltered Milk shows. Here are the special benefits of the 2% variety:

• Excellent protein source: for 1 cup (250 mL), Ultrafiltered Milk contains 18 grams of protein.
• Low sugar: for 1 cup, Ultrafiltered Milk only has 9 grams of lactose (sugar).
• Lots of calcium: for 1 cup, Ultrafiltered Milk has 500 milligrams of calcium. 
• Made with fresh Canadian Milk: high-quality pasteurized milk from Canadian dairy farms, to be exact.
• Shelf stable: Ultrafiltered Milk does not require refrigeration before opening and stays fresh in your pantry.

Although it is not made from Ultrafiltered Milk, Dairyland's 18g Protein Beverage shares some of its special advantages. Here are the key benefits of this beverage:

• Excellent protein source: 1 cup (250 mL) of 18g Protein Beverage contains 18 grams of this key nutrient. Simply put, it lives up to its name!
• Lactose free: excellent news for lactose-intolerant milk lovers. 
• Contains 9 essential nutrients, including calcium: for 1 cup, the 18g Protein Beverage has 500 milligrams of calcium.
• Made with 100% Canadian Milk: that’s how it gets its fresh taste!
