This lowfat milk can be consumed directly from the carton as a refreshing beverage. It is also a fundamental component in many cooking and baking applications. When baking, it contributes moisture and helps activate leavening agents. In savory dishes, it can be used to create smooth sauces, gravies, or as a base for soups. It is also a popular addition to smoothies and milkshakes, providing a creamy texture and a mild dairy flavor. Its lower fat content makes it a lighter choice for many culinary uses.
