Braum’s in Lubbock Has an Awesome Yogurt Special Right Now!

I took my mom and sister to eat lunch today and when we were done, I still wanted a small dessert of some sort. On my way back to the office, I realized that there's a Braum's on the way, so I swung through the drive-through and said, "Small chocolate and vanilla swirl yogurt cone, please!"

The girl said my total was something like $1.46. "That seems very cheap", I thought to myself. So I asked the kid at the window how big the cone was. He said, "It's pretty good size!"

Being me, a typical chubby fella, I didn't believe him and told him to go ahead and make it a large. My total was now $2.05 and I was certain I was about to be disappointed, but I WAS NOT!

Sophia at the next window greeted me with this MASSIVE waffle cone full of beautifully swirled yogurt,...

I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but it was very large! It was also sooooo good and creamy! I've eaten at Braum's before, but I've never had their yogurt. It's a 10/10 as far as yogurt goes, for sure.

My co-worker and friend, Renee, pointed out that it's probably because of their 'famous' A-2 milk that they use. What's A-2 Milk, you ask? Well, for starters, they have their own cows! No kidding!

Here's what they say on their website:

For over 50 years, Braum’s Dairy has been producing superior farm-fresh milk and dairy. Now, the Braum family is taking it a step further by offering a line of A2 fresh milk that may have added health benefits and is easier on digestion for some people.

Today, the Braum Family Farm is proud to be home to the largest A2 dairy herd in the United States.

This new venture did not happen overnight. It has taken over 12 years to build the A2 dairy herd. With an established A2 dairy herd, Braum’s is now producing its own exclusive line of A2 dairy milk and dairy products sold only at Braum’s stores.

What's the difference in A-1 and A-2 milk though?

Two major protein groups, casein, and whey are present in cow’s milk. Casein makes up about 30 percent of the proteins in cow’s milk. There are two forms of casein: A1 and A2.

Cattle produce A1 or A2, depending on their genetic makeup. Milk from many of the common breeds of dairy cattle is a mixture of A1 and A2 proteins.

According to some preliminary research, each of these types of protein may have different effects on the body. Some studies have found, for instance, that A1 milk may cause more internal inflammation than A2 varieties.

Most regular milk comes from cows that produce both A1 and A2 proteins. Cows with only an A2 gene produce A2 milk, which may be easier on digestion and help some avoid discomfort. Braum’s A2 fresh milk still has the same great taste that our customers have come to love over the years. We process our fat-free using a mechanical vapor recompression evaporator. It eliminates more water giving you milk that has more calcium and protein. It also produces richer, creamier milk.

Anyway, go get one or five of these things before the special is over!
