On this month’s episode of Talk Dairy to Me, DFA’s podcast about all things innovation, we’re talking about National Nutrition Month and highlighting the importance of dairy in a healthy diet.

From protein powders to sports drinks, innovations in how we process products, and the ingredients used, are expanding consumers’ choices for healthy (and trendy) eating through all the possibilities of dairy.

Our host, Doug Dresslaer, talks dairy with Jeff Clark, director of strategy management for our Ingredient Solutions Division, and Andrew Rice, product optimization director for Ingredient Solutions, about how protein powders are no longer that chalky, unappealing powder you might think of and how DFA’s plants process high-quality protein powders. Finally, he chats with Michelle McBride, founder and CEO of GoodSport^™, an alum of DFA’s CoLAB Accelerator program who developed a sports drink made from the elements of milk to create a super-hydrating and delicious beverage for athletes and all active individuals.
