Which milk is the best?

[Brandy~ 2]

I actually like the non fat better since it is lighter. I don't like thick creams and stuff so the non fat has a better texture for me.

Before being banded I didn't really care for drinking milk but lately I crave it.

I love the Simply Smart Milk. There is the Skim that tastes like 1% and the 2% that tastes like whole milk. It is less watery and has a higher Protein count then other milks. Give this a try. Hopefully they sell it in your area. Good Luck

for coffee, tea & such, i must have cream (if i put enough milk in to get my drink the right color it gets cold). for drinking and Cereal any thing more than 1% tastes too thick. 2% & whole milk just taste too much like cream for use as a beverage.

i spring the extra cash for organic when its available. it tastes better and doesn't have the stench of cruelty that non-organic dairy products have.

Growing up in the 60s/70s we always drank 2% milk. Skim looked watery and light blue back then..yuck. Then toward the later part of the 70s my mom started buying skim milk, and it was thinner, but wasn't blue, and didn't have a weird metallic taste like it did when I was younger. Now I can't tolerate any kind of milk except skim. It seems like cream to me. However, in coffee, I'd rather take it black then put in skim. I think it's too watery for coffee, and gives it an off taste.

For really bad tasting milk, I find the ultra pasteurized milk disgusting, It has a long shelf life, and to me, it tastes like it's been sitting on the shelf forever. :rolleyes2:

I got Non-fat for a long time, and then more recently bumped up to 1%. I find that 1% tastes so much better than non-fat, that it's worth the extra calories. Whole milk is awesome, but probably not worth the extra calories. I get all my milk delivered from the local dairy. My son, who is the main drinker, can't stand store-bought brands in comparison. I don't drink milk, except with cereal.

Note, that there was a study last year or so in Sweden or something that tracked people who drank whole milk vs. skim, and I think the whole milk drinkers might have been less overweight or no different from the skim milk drinkers.
