It is time to switch to whole fat milk. Compared with skimmed milk, whole fat milk can give you 60 calories more. This is an abundant source of vitamins and minerals, and milk also gives you Vitamin A and D. If you do not prefer taking plain milk, make your own protein powder at home with cereals. Or take milk with oatmeal. Try milkshakes with fruits like banana and strawberry made with whole fat milk, if you are not a fan of plain milk.
