This is the best milk I have ever tasted in my life 😋 It doesn't matter if it's refrigerated or powdered, this one is the best. It taste like you are getting your whole milk with cream too,yummy!

I would have no idea this isn't fresh milk! Now, I'm not a daily milk drinker but needed a powdered version for backpacking trips. I did a lot of research and kept reading about how powdered (fat free) milk tastes sour and sometimes even grainy, but whole milk powder is too difficult to get homogenized - and let's be real, who wants clumpy milk?! Gross.
Now, here's the trick - and anyone who's ever used cornstarch to thicken a sauce/soup will know what I'm talking about:
When you add the milk powder in your cup/container - start by adding just the tiniest bit of water, enough to stir the powder into a clump free paste. Only then do you add more water bit by bit until you have the recommended ratio (or add almost double the recommended water if you want to get closer to a 2% milk). This way you get clump free deliciously sweet and rich milk, even if you're only using a spoon!
I only used a cup and a regular soup spoon to do this, as that's all I'll have on my backpacking trip, and it turned out smooth and scrumptious.

Price wise it's probably still cheaper to get fresh milk, but if you too don't drink a lot of milk and only need it occasionally - this is the PERFECT solution for you. I can't tell you how often I have to pour sour milk down the drain because I couldn't finish it before it went bad. Now I won't have that problem anymore. And if you think about it, comparing price just on the amount of milk actually consumed, having the powdered milk might just be more economical!

My verdict: I highly recommend!

Took this product on a wilderness camping and fishing trip to Alaska and loved it

It arrived on time today (7-10-23) and in perfect condition. Thank you amazon delivery. It has 15 months remaining before expiration, but was a sticker instead of embossed on the package by mfg. So, that could be in question. It smelled, looked, and tasted fresh. I wouldn't want to use it for just drinking, because it's a little pricey and more fattening than I normally drink. After it is opened it can be stored in pantry, but suggests to store in fridge. It dissolved and tasted good in my coffee. Of course not as tasty as the fancy creamers, but I don't like all those artificial flavors and sweeteners. It's the first time I've tried this brand, so I can't speak for better or worse ones. I do think it would work well for baking, adding extra milk flavor to drinks, and wherever you need to use milk. And especially kept on hand for emergencies. I bought it because we were ill at the time and couldn't go out to buy fresh milk.

Like it alot, milk is running neck & neck!
