      Didn’t know what milk+milk is like but milk isn’t like heavy cream.

      I mean, it is cause they are both dairy but the difference is pretty significant.

    I had a roommate that loved milk so much, they would snort powdered milk regularly in the bathroom.

    There is a drinking chocolate powder in the UK called “Galaxy”. Which is intended to be dissolved in hot water instead of milk, therefore it contains milk powder. But if you mix it into hot milk, it is really amazing!

    Actually this is really common.

    In areas with unreliable power, powdered milk is much more common. People often do mix it super thick and spread it on bread.

    Obviously not a balanced diet but you could do a lot worse for a cheap meal.

    Isn’t that what they do? They skim all the milk and then put the fat in to various concentration?

      I think they just add water to bring down the fat content. All the other nutrients fall in proportion.

        No, they usually use a centrifuge to separe the fat (and i guess add it back in lesser quantities later)

        “It comes in a solid 50lb semi hydrated slab! You cut yourself off a hunk and mix it into the powdered milk/liquid milk milk so you can get absolutely the most milked milk out of you milk that man has ever milked! And if that’s not enough we’ve got a whole division dedicated to milking milk from animals no one has ever milked before! (What!? No it’s not cheese… Yes, I know cheese is made from milk solids! No. Its not cheese dammit! It’s chemically diverse from cheese… Because I looked at the lab results that’s how! Cheese doesn’t move on it’s own!)” - also probably Cave Johnson

    Powdered milk is a miracle wasted on the poor, the face that no company has jumped on “freeze dried milkshakes” that you just add water to shows that America has lost its entrepreneurial spirit.

      Freeze drying doesn’t tend to work all that great on fats which whole milk has a lot of. Not tonsay it can’t be done but its generally more effort than its worth for the result

          The cheap skimmed version does suck yeah. But the whole milk powder I’ve been using tastes just fine in cereal, coffee or anything I cooked with it.

          Much better than any other shelf stable milks I’ve tried and beats frozen milk hands down.
