it’s 2% milk, 98% mystery fun
Don’t worry about it. Just keep drinking.
For those who don’t know: when milk is milked out of the cow it goes through some processing, like pasteurization and separation. When milk separates the fat floates to the top and it is “skimmed” off. You can have ‘whole’ fat in your milk, as in they only take off the very top part of cream on top. Then you can have your ‘skim’ milk with no fat. Then you can add back in a percentage of the fat. This is where the most common 1% and 2% come in. In theory you can make whatever percentage milk you want. This is also where something like half and half comes in, half cream added back to half milk for a 50% ish mix.
Unethical. Drink plant milk
Even if you don’t care about the ethics, plant milk is getting cheap (oat milk is cheaper than cows milk where i live), tastes good, has a longer shelf life and has thus far worked perfectly as a replacement in baking and such
How do you get over the nutty aftertaste? Every milk derivative I have tried, always tasted really really bad compared to regular milk. Trust me, I want to go plant milk, but goodness the taste is awful for me.
Which ones have you tried? Some soy milk has a pretty strong flavor, some doesn’t. Oat doesn’t have an aftertaste like that imo, or pea milk
Of course almond milk, and that was the first one I tried. I hated that one because I don’t like almonds, so I didn’t want to give up there. When I tried oat milk, I liked it a little at first, but it started to have a play-doh taste like a day or two after opening it, and I did not buy another to see if it was a bad batch.
Can you recommend some oat milk that will taste good, and not break the bank so to speak? :)
NextMilk! My partner is a picky eater but miraculously will consume NextMilk with cereal. It also works great for baking and cooking. We’ve stopped buying cow milk completely.
