I love watching my teen play golf for his high sch I love watching my teen play golf for his high school team. It truly is where he is comfortable, but a busy day of school AND a winning golf match means one thing—a HUNGRY TEEN! And a hungry teen means you better have a quick snack on hand! When you need something filling and QUICK, nothing is better that a glass of ice-cold milk and a bowl of cereal!
