In baking, it can be used in cakes, cookies, and muffins to add moisture and richness. It blends well into smoothies, creating a creamy texture when combined with fruits and other ingredients. It can also be heated to make hot beverages or used as a base for sauces and soups, though its lower fat content may result in a less rich final product compared to whole milk.
