What it is
This is a dairy beverage that has had nearly all of its fat removed through processing. It is a liquid that comes from cows and is typically pasteurized for safety. The fat-free designation means it contains less than half a gram of fat per serving. It retains the natural sweetness and liquid consistency of milk.

In baking, fat-free milk can substitute for whole milk in recipes for cakes, cookies, and breads. It contributes moisture and helps activate leavening agents. When making sauces or gravies, it provides a liquid base without adding richness from fat. It is also commonly used to thin out batters or to create lighter versions of traditional dishes. For beverages, it blends well into smoothies and shakes, offering a liquid component.
