Powdered Whole Milk

[Firpo]

Was wandering down the International Foods isle at Walmart looking for Mexican Corn Nuts when I noticed something I’d never seen before. Nestle has a product line of powdered milks for children made in Switzerland. To my taster powdered milk is always a little weird but they have whole milk version which I’d never seen before in a powdered milk so I grabbed a small can. I’ll be dipped if it doesn’t taste just like good ol’ moo-juice. Shelf life has a BB date of 2 years after mfg date and after the taste test I’ll for sure be adding this to the stash. It would be great for making a nice pot of old fashioned oatmeal.

Enjoy!

IMHO milk is for growing kiddos, not for adults. But to each their own.

Thanks for the tip, I'd never thought of keeping some powdered milk on hand.

My body functions much better when I drink milk.
My grandmother always drank milk or juice or coffee and said she did not like water and said water will kill you. She died of old age at 96 years old.
Same goes for my wife's grandparents upper 90's when they died and grandpa drank milk everyday and had oatmeal every morning before going out to milk the cows.

There is something to moo juice as it is called and also eating and living right.

I am 56 and on no meds but I must admit I do not go to the doctor to see if I need meds
My wife takes meds for blood pressure and blood sugar level and does not drink milk. Not saying milk would cure her.
I average about 1/2 a gallon a day.

Maybe I am just a growing boy----- yea that's it.

We used to keep Powdered Milk, it is great to cook with or drink. Just to dang expensive anymore. Seems like when people started prepping back in the day, Spam, Powdered Milk, Beans, anything with a good shelf life has gotten very expensive.

Yes, we keep a couple cans of that same milk on the shelf.
About 10 cans of evaporated milk and condensed milk.

I always have powdered milk on hand just in case. I’m not up there enough to use even a half gallon, so I use powdered if I need milk. I’m not a fan of just drinking it, but if something calls for milk, it works great for that.

I have tried to go without milk and I drink whole milk.
I will make it a week at most and during those times i crave something other than water or V8 which I love also.
I start reaching for a soda pop and that for me is a bad replacement for milk.
I do not drink beer much either.
I think the last beer I had was 3 months ago and I usually only have 1 or 2.

I have some friends that start on the beer every evening and 12-18 later they may eat dinner or just go to bed.
I can't function like that and alcohol just makes me feel about 80% the next day.

I do like evaporated to fill the void when no milk is around. and maybe this evap stuff would be good on a hunt/fish trip where I do not refrigerate stuff.

I’ve always been a big milk drinker and if I drank all I wanted I’d likely go through a gallon a day….which I do not allow myself to do.

I was buying a qt of buttermilk to make biscuits and ranch dressing. I try to make sure I get something with a two-week date. I make biscuits on Sat usually and ranch every couple weeks. If I didn't use before expire date, I freeze it and try to remember to put in the fridge on Friday morning so I can use on Saturday. We I noticed Wally had powered butter milk. Just a spoon in some milk and your set. Then I saw a recipe on making your own ranch dressing mix using the powered buttermilk- garlic powder and some other things, I'll be doing that when I use up the ranch I already bought.
