Friendly Farms 2% Reduced Fat Milk is a nutrient-rich beverage designed to provide a balanced mix of calcium, vitamins, and reduced saturated fats. Its nutrition facts reveal 130 calories per serving, with 5 grams of fat (3 grams saturated), making it lower in fat than whole milk but still containing some saturated fats. The presence of 12 grams of sugars suggests it may not be the healthiest option for those monitoring sugar intake.
As a processed product, this milk is minimally altered from its base form but includes added vitamins and reduced fat content. While it offers essential nutrients like calcium and vitamins D and A, the added sugars make it less than ideal compared to whole milk or plant-based alternatives with fewer sweeteners.
In light of the added sugars, a healthier alternative would be whole milk, which contains naturally occurring sugars, or plant-based non-dairy milks like almond or oat milk, both of which are lower in sugars and often higher in nutrients.
There are 130 calories in a serving of Friendly Farms 2% Reduced Fat Milk. Most of those calories come from fat (35%) and carbohydrates (40%).
