Powdered milk

When I was a kid, my mom would sometimes try to get us to drink or otherwise consume powdered milk. It was hideous stuff. The only way she could use it without complaints from us was in baked goods. I don't think even half reconstituted milk and half fresh made it past us without fierce resistance. And who could blame us? Even adults who aren't used to it have been known to give it bad reviews.

Today I tried powdered milk again. We ran out of fresh so I thought I'd mix some up to go in my breakfast shake and took a bare sip of the plain milk before adding the breakfast powder.

Surprisingly, it tasted just like warm milk.

The brand I used is Sanalac from ConAgra.

Maybe this powdered milk thing isn't such a gross idea after all. We'll have to see how the powdered milk from the cannery goes over though, as it's far less expensive and that may be for a good reason.
