[quote=walterwhite]I think I’m gonna go buy some powdered milk. See if my kids notice.[/quote]
scaredy, I drank powdered milk as a kid. Here’s how to make it taste better. Make it up in a blender or something you can shake it in. Use room temperature water (not cold). Use slightly more powder to make the “richer” milk. Blend or shake really, really well. Refrigerate for at least 3 hrs in cold frig (set at 3-4). Wa-laa, you have “milk” for less than half the price (if you purchase it in bulk and not the expensive pre-measured packets).
In island nations, where there are no dairy animals and thus no dairy products that are not flown in (i.e. VERY expensive), the population subsists off dry milk powder. It is reconstituted and sold this way in cold cartons on-island or sold in vacuum-packed boxes (whole milk) or dry (lowfat/nonfat).
There’s nothing wrong with it. You just have to get used to the taste.
