Nonfat Dry Milk With Vitamins A &D, Makes 3 Gallons, 45.43 oz.

Great milk product. I no longer buy milk I make it fresh using this. This taste so much better than other powder milks. Great value for the money, big container. I use a mixing ball in a sealed pitcher, shake and refrigerate over night. You can make it as rich or not so rich, as you like. I was used to skim milk so this has a better taste. Great on cereal or can use in cooking. Big container last a long time.

This is my first time trying Swiss Miss shelf-stable, nonfat powdered milk, and I chose it because I’m watching my cholesterol and wanted a low-fat milk option with good quality. Some reviews mentioned clumping, but I avoided that by using a personal cup blender instead of stirring. It blended smoothly with no clumps. I use two scoops with 8 oz of water, then refrigerate the mixed milk. The powder itself stores easily in a cool, dark place. The taste is smooth and pleasant, not chalky. I also like that it’s fat-free, cholesterol-free, fortified with Vitamins A & D, and a good source of calcium. Knowing Swiss Miss processes real milk in Wisconsin and has decades of manufacturing history gave me confidence in the product. Pros: Fat-free and cholesterol-free Good taste for nonfat powdered milk Blends very well in a personal blender Shelf-stable and convenient storage Fortified with calcium and Vitamins A & D Cons: May clump if mixed by hand (blender fixes this or shake well in a closed container ) Overall, a solid choice for anyone looking for a low-fat, heart-conscious milk option that still tastes good. It came air tight, so there was no leakage, and the sealer kept the moisture level and freshness in the container.

Edit to add: it is AWESOME for use in cafe lattes. It froths up really well. Makes a sturdy froth that tops off my espresso gorgeously. I just use a simple milk frother to make super quick easy foam. If you order from the warehouse you have to know that it may have a short shelf life left on it (though should be a ways out if ordering from regular Amazon). Taking a chance on reduced pricing. I think this is a bargain at regular pricing. HUGE container. I normally don't care about the best by date, because it is only referencing the guaranteed quality, not the safety. So mine is 2 months out, and I doubt I will have this used by then. But it will be fine beyond that. I bought this more as a back up in case of scarcity or skyrocketing food prices. I normally just drink non dairy "milk", but will use stuff like this in recipes that call for dairy milk. I also dont mind it as a creamer. One thing that is nice about powdered milk is being able to make it as rich and creamy or as light and bland as you want. Use more or less according to preferred taste. I think this has very good flavor. I have used it directly in coffee with some effort to get lumps out. Best when use a little frother mixer. Nice for adding to smoothies and such if looking to boost protein and other vitamin and minerals. Might be helpful to those that can use the extra calories and nutrition boost without having to consume added volume (thinking ill or elderly). I'd get this again. I have two big containers so it might be awhile. But I may buy extras and give away.

- I can't say much about the flavor because I use powdered milk in coffee and in certain baking recipes. It seems to taste fine in mixtures like that, but I can't offer any info about how it tastes straight up, since I don't like drinking fat-free milk of any sort. - It looks and smells like good quality powdered milk should, so I'm happy enough with that; it's also certainly comparable in terms of nutritional content. That latter is why I added it to my morning coffee routine - I wanted the extra protein and calcium, plus, it seems to reduce the natural acidity of coffee, which makes it more kind to my stomach. - The most notable thing to me was how very *fine* the texture of this powder is; it can get airborne even with air currents. So scooping/spooning it fairly slowly and carefully can minimize that. - Also, since it is *so* fine, it actually is more difficult to mix thoroughly because the powder grains tend to lump together more readily once the get damp. Using a whisk helps to mix it, but also tends to create a good bit of foam. -

The instructions clearly say to mix it with water, not hot water. I put the milk powder and cold water from the sink into an empty jug and shake it up and then put it in the fridge overnight. It works great and there are no lumps. It tastes good too and I'm saving money over regular milk. I don't consume a lot of milk and this Swiss Miss milk powder allows me to make milk in small batches so I don't have to worry about the milk expiring before I'm finished with it.
