Better than you'd think
5 out of 5 stars
Better than you'd think
This stuff is really good. I wasn't expecting much having used powdered milk at times in the past growing up. And I would mix peanut butter (still do) in it to make it taste better but. This stuff really doesn't have a bad taste at all. Much better than other brands I've had although it definitely costed more. It was the only one Wegmans had tho

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good choice for me!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2015

    Enjoyed this so much that I finally graduated to the large size! Contains an easy to use single serve measure and mixing directions. The flavor compares to organic non-fat milk. It's been a good choice for me because I just don't enjoy 'real' shopping.

    Easy substitute for recipes, refrigerate liquid for best flavor or try warm/hot at bedtime. My grandchildren will drink this without complaint when they visit . . . they don't know that it's any different from what they are accustomed to at home. Children are often the best 'critics' when it comes to change in flavor!

    Convenient to store . . . I keep the bag in a decorative, old fashioned flour canister on the countertop because I use it daily. If you find the bag too large, decant into smaller seal type container and store the bag in a dry pantry area. Trying this for the first time and not certain? Consider ordering the medium size or the smaller two pack. Enjoy!

    Thank you to those who take that extra time to write reviews . . . a definite advantage for shopping Amazon. Positive or negative, your opinions make trying an unknown product easier!

    Not to sound like a snob, but I am a powdered non-fat milk connoisseur. I cannot fully do justice to the supremacy of this product with words alone. Most powdered milk comes in small particles of dried milk, where this brand has managed to completely powder the product to a soft, dry texture only rivaled by the flaky snow of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. The taste is almost as exquisite as regular skim milk, and I would even dare substitute this for 2% in a pinch. Not only that, this is the first nonfat dry milk I have purchased (and I’ve purchased many) that comes with its own 1/3 cup scoop to take the headache out of proper measuring. I plan on being a lifetime consumer of this milk!

    My grandmother used to mix the Carnation Milk Powder into one-half gallon of regular milk. I do the same and it tastes great, even richer flavor than the whole milk itself. We will be a repeat customer.

    The product itself is very good, I found the exact item at a local store for $18.99 and paid $29.99 on amazon. I should have checked around before ordering. I won't make that mistake again. My son works overseas in an area where it is not easy to get milk, and this is a perfect solution to our situation. I found that the taste for instant dry milk has changed over the years and it has a good flavor to it. I would highly recommend this product as a substitute for fresh milk

    The worst delivery ever. One of the bag is open and almost half of the bag spilled into the cardbox. I am definitely going to call and complain about it. How is it possible that the deal is open and the box is full of milk powder. RIDICULOUS!

    We've purchased this powdered milk a few times. The taste is decent. My son doens't mind it but not so much for me. It was outrageously priced one day and tried Bob's Bill Mill powder milk instead. We now buy that exclusively. Smaller package but needs much less powder/glass. I think Bob's Bill Mill tastes much better as well. Similar to the fresh milk I grew up with.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2013

    We use Subscribe and Save to always have this in the house. In the past we would buy milk and half of it would go bad, then we needed it for something and didn't have it. We use this in cooking, baking for smoothies, everything you would normally use milk for. I use it in my breakfast shakes to make them extra creamy instead of just adding water.

    If you are going to be drinking straight or in cereal, I recommend making a bottle of milk in advance to chill. It seems to taste better when chilled overnight if drinking straight.

    Lastly, you may want to jump right to getting the big bag like I did, but don't. It actually works out cheaper to get the smaller bags. Have no idea why.

    I am taking away a star because the last 3 bags we have received have been missing the scoop. I don't know if the company is cheaping out, but the instructions on the bag still say 1 scoop equals 1/3 cup...

    If this review has been helpful to you, please click "yes" and Amazon will let me know!
