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

I imagined a creamier taste but was it just in advertising or my head. Comparable to Walmart brand. I hope Nestle improves to be truthful. Good for powerout situation, camping, or the road. Also, a shelf stable gift or "milk" and cereal to ship to charity maybe. I think they're one or four quarts times ten. Very happy.

I’ve loved milkman milk for 50 years. My kids loved them. Chocolate flavor wasn’t available yet. They were so easy to find. I’m kinda shocked when I found them here! I bought a bunch of them every couple of months. Just in case. They’re the only powdered milk that tastes like it’s got Cream.

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.

Great for traveling, we like it because we don't have to use those chemical bombs they sometimes put in hotel rooms. I don't know how long it's good for once opened, though. We do tend to throw a lot away.

It was expensive but good when you run out of

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.

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.

The first thing to spoil when camping or when the power goes out for more than a few days is milk. This product is the perfect solution for your emergency supply stock. The taste is surprisingly good unlike any nonfat powdered milk you may have had before It has enough butterfat to actually substitute for real refrigerated milk and each package make a quart so it will suffice for a family meal or a day, maybe two, if you're stranded alone.It's a little pricey but when you're using it as a substitute for real milk that does not require a chiller and stores for a long time who's going to quibble over a buck or two.
