This lowfat milk can be used in many ways. It is excellent for drinking chilled, poured over breakfast cereals, or used as a base for smoothies. In cooking, it can be added to sauces, soups, and gravies to create a smoother texture and richer flavor.

It can also be warmed and frothed for coffee drinks or enjoyed as a comforting beverage before bed.
