🥛✨ Every morning is a celebration of nourishment and tradition — powered by dairy! ✨🥛

This World Milk Day, we asked our #Milkio community:

“How do you start your day with Butter Ghee or dairy?”

From buttery breakfasts to energizing coffee rituals, here’s how some of our team and customers embrace the goodness of #Milkio #ButterGhee every morning:

Youssef: “My day begins with a bold black coffee blended with cow ghee — it’s smooth, satisfying, and fuels me with lasting energy.”

Zahra: “Morning is all about preparing wholesome meals for my children and family. Whether it’s bread and butter, sautéed vegetables, or baked delights — Butter Ghee is always in my kitchen.”

Rania: “Simple and soulful — my go-to breakfast is a slice of warm bread with a generous layer of butter. It never fails to comfort.”

Mei-Ling: “I kick-start my day with a long black coffee and a spoonful of Butter Ghee. By 9 a.m., I’m already on my second cup — focused, energized, and ready to take on the day.”

From your first sip to your family’s breakfast plate, dairy — especially #ghee — brings richness, tradition, and vitality to every morning.

💬 Tell us — how does ghee or dairy fit into your morning ritual? We’d love to hear your story!
