What it is

This reduced fat milk can be used in place of whole milk in most cooking and baking applications. It works well in sauces, soups, and gravies, providing a creamy texture without the richness of full-fat milk. It is also a popular choice for drinking on its own, with coffee or tea, or as a base for smoothies and milkshakes. When baking, it can contribute moisture and structure to cakes, muffins, and breads. Its flavor profile is generally milder than whole milk.
