This fat-free skim milk can be enjoyed straight from the carton, served cold as a beverage. It is excellent poured over breakfast cereals, providing a light and refreshing taste. In cooking and baking, it can be substituted for whole or reduced-fat milk in most recipes, though it may alter the richness and texture slightly. It is also a good base for smoothies, allowing the flavors of other ingredients to come through without being overpowered by a heavy milk taste. It can be used in sauces, soups, and mashed potatoes.
