Fat-free milk can be enjoyed chilled on its own as a refreshing drink. It is also commonly poured over breakfast cereals, adding a creamy texture and a source of hydration. In smoothies, it provides a liquid base that blends well with fruits and other ingredients. It can also be used in sauces and gravies to achieve a lighter consistency.
