There was a protein in the milk that his stomach couldn’t handle. It opened up a whole slew of articles and information to me that I had never been aware of before. I couldn’t believe this wasn’t common knowledge – that there are proteins in milk that are difficult for us to digest. In fact, there are so many people walking around thinking they are lactose intolerant, when really, it’s not that at all.
Fortunately, there is a new milk that is safe for many of those people. How awesome? a2 Milk® selects cows that only produce the A2 protein (the one that is easily digestible) and eliminates the milk from cows that also produce A1 (the protein people can have a hard time digesting).
I know many people that feel they are allergic to milk can never enjoy the deliciousness of a milkshake. I think that’s so sad! So I wanted to show you how to use this awesome new milk to make a vanilla shake without ice cream. The recipe is really easy and just takes a few simple ingredients: ice, sugar, vanilla and a2 Milk®.
In your blender, add one cup of ice, one cup of a2 Milk®, 1/3 cup of sugar and a splash of vanilla. Mix it together and voila! I almost prefer this to the traditional recipes. It is so good!
Check out a2 Milk® on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Go here to get a $1 coupon to try it out! There are also more recipes on their site.

I will definitely try a2 Milk. I’ve switched to alternative sources of milk because it has a tendency to irritate my stomach a bit. I will use the a2 in my morning oatmeal and to dunk cookies!
