Pour it into a glass for a refreshing drink. It is excellent poured over breakfast cereals or used to make oatmeal. In baking, it can be substituted for whole milk in most recipes, contributing moisture and richness. It is also a key component in creamy sauces, soups, and smoothies, adding a smooth texture and mild flavor. Its lower fat content makes it a lighter choice for many culinary applications.
