Enjoy Summer Crowley Style!

Summer is here! Are you looking to drop a few unwanted pounds? After all, as of June 21st summer is officially here, and along with it vacations, beautiful weather, picnics, and the bathing suit.

Help your waistline this summer with Crowley! Try making Crowley Cottage Cheese the cheese you choose for cooking in place of higher fat cheeses like mozzarella, ricotta, and cheddar. Making this change in your kitchen will allow you to enjoy creamy, cheesy recipes without the extra calories and fat.

For example, you can save about 150 calories and 27 grams of fat per serving when you use the Crowley Cheese to Choose Baked Ziti Recipe versus a traditional baked ziti recipe:

• Researchers examined the diets of men in South Wales and took into consideration factors like age, smoking habits, body fat, calorie intake, fat intake, and alcohol consumption. The study tracked a group of 665 men over 20 years and concluded that men who consume more milk had a reduced risk of stroke and a trend towards lower heart attack risk. [1]
• The American Journal of Nutrition (November 2005) highlighted a study that showed a 50 percent reduction in the occurrence of high blood pressure over the 27 months of the study. Of the 5,880 university graduate students, only 180 new cases of high blood pressure were identified. The reduction in the rate of high blood pressure was observed among those students with the highest consumption of lowfat dairy products. [2]
