Snack Squad's Milk Taste!

Snack Squad was put to the test to see if they could guess what type of milk they were drinking.









But before testing Snack Squad had to fill out a sheet together to learn how to read milk labels. They had to figure out what milk had the most sugar or which milk had the most vitamins.







They also had to determine if the serving size was the amount they used. Was it too much milk or just enough or not enough?








Now it was time for the tasting!

Snack Squad trying to determine what milk it was ( it was organic soy milk!)

At the end they wrote down a number to each milk they tested & got almost all of them right! Great job Snack Squad!
