MilkmanLow-fat Milk - Instant Dry Milk Powder (2)

Great taste. Easy mixing.

I have not had powdered milk since I was a small child back in the 70's. I remember it being horrible, but i was going to the Bahamas where Milk is $12 a gallon, so i brought some of these. They taste really good and i imagine if you mixed in some chocolate it would be even better. Easy to mix, you don't have to use the whole package if you want just a glass. Would definitely recommend.

Milkman Lowfat Powdered Instant Milk. Class B. Mixes surprisingly easily in water to a clear smooth finish on the palate, richer and fattier mouthfeel than non-fat competitors is offset by an unpleasant "protein shake" flavor. Nevertheless, one of the best milk powders available. Recommended.*In the photo: Emergency Essentials (aka Provident Pantry), Auguson Farms (aka Country Fresh), MilkManResults of my powdered milk taste test comparison:How I tested: I did a side by side comparison with myself and a couple friends of some different powdered milks. The same amount of milk powder was used, mixed into the same amount of room temperature water. The samples were all stirred until completely dissolved. I did not use hot water, because not all products dissolve into hot water. Products were allowed to rest only a minute before sampling, because my intention is to use milk powder per serving. We also compared them with actual non-fat milk.In general all products will taste better when allowed to rest overnight and fully chilled, but the goal of this test was to reveal comparative defects.I have tried: Augason Farms, Carnation, Country Cream, Country Fresh, Emergency Essentials, MilkMan, Nestle, Nido, Organic Valley, Peak, and Provident Pantry.In general, they fall into three categories:A. Emergency Essentials (formerly Provident Pantry). This is quite tolerable and tastes as close to actual milk. It acquires a very slightly sour, burnt taste when mixed into hot water, tea, or coffee; however, it does mix easily into hot water, and overall it is palatable. This is the best powdered non-fat milk.B. MilkMan. Tentatively placed into Class B, because although it is the best low-fat powdered milk product, it has a slightly off-putting “protein” flavor (if you have ever had a protein shake, protein bar, etc. you know what I mean.) Still, it mixes easily into water. It’s quite expensive as well. For my money, I did not feel the slightly richer body was worth the “protein shake” flavor.C. Everything else. All other products suffer from various defects: sour, acrid, bilious flavors; clumping, foaming, significantly increased effort and time to dissolve in water, inability to mix directly with hot water, separation in tea or coffee, grainy mouthfeel. As a caveat, the flavor of Organic Valley is Class B, but its finicky preparation, clumping, and cost put its overall score in Class C.I also encourage people to seek out “The Great Powdered Milk Taste Test” online. It’s a good review, but it’s a bit out of date, since there have been some company mergers/name changes and it left a few products out.

What is not to like, it tastes like milk, it dissolves easily and it has a great price. This is the best shelf stable milk on the market as far as I am concerned. I am not a constant milk drinker, but when I want it I don't want to make a special trip to the store. This is the first powdered milk that actually satisfies me. I highly recommend it.

It was expensive but good when you run out of

I use this everyday as milk in my coffee and it tastes great. Dissolves very well.

For Instant Milk this is pretty decent stuff. It’s much better than the old fashion kind. I like having it just in case l run out of cream for my coffee… like l did today. It was the first time l used it & l was surprised it tastes that good. If it didn’t, l wouldn’t have had a second cup of coffee.

Makes too little amount
