Milk: What's your pioson?

[gdn]

Simple poll: what milk do you drink? Gone are the days when I drank only whole milk. I wish they could replicate that taste.

[yankeebot]

Blech. I can't stand milk.

[Random]

Milk is a condiment, not a beverage. It is for putting on cereal, not for drinking.

[DkNNy79]

Totally agree. It is only used for softening my cereal and for coffee that is it. For those purposes I use 2 or 1%.

What about adding milk to hot chocolate? How about milk and cocoa? Adding milk to a yogurt smoothie?

In that case, what is your beverage of choice, since milk is not considered a beverage to you?

[Bub]

Skim. Once you get used to it, there's no sense going back. Besides, all that milkfat isn't helping you any.

[Evil Empire]

I drink 2 or 1 percent. I voted 2 since I think I get that more, but 1 is just as good.


By the way, you forgot Lactaid type milks on this list.

[Barb51850]

I use Skim Plus. It's more expensive than standard skim milk since it's ultrapasteurized.

Sometimes I treat myself to organic whole milk.

[4bronxbombers]

1%. Don't like whole milk and don't like organic milk. Actually I'm not a huge milk fan.

I only use milk in cereal and coffee. I rarely drink it by itself.

Breast for me, please

you are such a whore!!

Me too. Tea and cereal. And hot chocolate of course.

Count me in here... I can't stand the crap, unless it's flavored (strawberry, chocoloate...), but at that point, I may as well just get a shake.

I like my coffee like I like my ladies







ground up and in the fridge

Skinny Cow. I swear it's fabulous, and fat free.

You know, its not often I see someone get this excited over milk.

If you call that excited, you're a very sad boy.

I consider an exclamation of fabulous towards milk to be an expression of excitement. Perhaps you're just a little freer with your fabulouses.

Perhaps.

I don't know about their milk, but I get fabulously excited over everything else Skinny Cow!!!!!!
Yes, that's right. Excitement of Visbeck-ian proportions. Uh-huh.

[fredgmuggs]

The only thing milk is good for is to make ice cream.

[fredgmuggs]

I'll throw fat free half and half into the mix.... that's what goes into the coffee and also used as substitute in recipes for cream based sauces. It's FABULOUS product (there, I said it).

The best thing I've ever put into coffee was something called "light cream". I figured it tasted great, that it certainly wasn't heavy cream, so after I'd bought some (hard to find).

I think that the next time I'm making capuccino, I'll use this instead of half-and-half.

For regular milk, I just drink Lactaid and mix that with one of the skim milks. I just avoid the Lactaid whole milk or the calcium added ones. Those didn't work for me.

Why do you have to mix things all the time. Simplify your life, Brad!

[b-ball-lunachick]

I've been drinking skim for so long, I can't drink a glass of anything else -- it tastes way too heavy. Although, in coffee when I do drink it, I use half and half.

I'm actually a +3 allergy to milk so I shouldn't even be drinking too much of it anyway but I can only do soy milk in a protein shake..I don't know how anyone drinks that..blech!

[Jersey Yankee]

Of course I simplify things. I "half" everything, my friend!!!

*runs into the woods and hides away*

[NYYDragoon]

1.5%.

[GiambiRocks]

Soy Milk

[LDG]

2% for cereal, tea or the occasional glass to drink (how else can you have chocolate chip cookies??)

Light cream or half & half for coffee

[chanman7483]

Skim. The others just taste weird to me and no matter how long they're in the fridge, never seem to get as cold as a cup of skim does.

[dabomb2045]

Skim....I only drink plain milk when I'm eating chocolate chip cookies, or in a bowl of cereal

[NewEraYanks2527]

Skim milk sucks, it looks like white colored water. Whole milk all the way, my Oreos wouldn't have it any other way.

[CoyoteYankee]

I don't drink milk---I only use it in cereal and when I do it is skim milk. Since the cereal flavors the milk, I don't think that it makes much of a difference so I might as well use the most low fat.

When I was growing up and was forced to drink milk by my parents, we always drank 2%.

[montrealer]

Meh.........1% .....I like living on the edge...

[Jersey Yankee]

What the heck is the difference between 1% and 2%? Then someone mentioned 1.5%. Can someone who's human actually taste one, then the other from the same manufacturer and notice which is which?

really really cold 1% milk is amazing

As opposed to really really cold 2% milk?

[Jace]

As opposed to really really cold 2% milk?

Well, that would be the only difference in the sentence, so yes. Hehe, honestly I don't really like 2% milk. And Horizon organic is expensive as hell but somehow worth it

What is the difference between 1% and 2%? I can't think of anything offhand.

Is regular milk something like 5% or 10% fat? Is 1% a low-fat version of whole milk? What about 2% milk?

This is how I think about it- if you look on the side of the carton, whole milk has 8 grams of fat per serving, 2 percent milk has 5 g of fat per serving, and 1 percent milk has 2.5 g of fat per serving. You know you study the carton when you are eating cereal-- its entertaining And you feel like you are being healthy and productive

So doing the proportions, whole milk is about 3.2% fat (by mass), not quite 5 or 10%. So 2 percent milk is actually a 40% or so reduction in fat from whole milk, and 1 percent milk is actually a 70% reduction in fat. So going from whole milk to 1 percent takes away 70% of the fat, you can EASILY taste it

Whole milk is 3.25%.

[WashingtonYankee]

When I drink it by itself I just want 2%. However, for mochas and anything else that's mixed I want non-fat.

I'm your evil twin from a parallel universe!

If I'm drinking milk straight, it has to be skim. If it's in coffee or tea, I prefer 1% or 2%.

[NYYFAN]

Skim, but I had to wean myself from the stronger stuff...

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Where the hell is the option for chocolate?

[yankeeschic12324]

Where the hell is the option for chocolate?

WTF

[jlw1980]

Where the hell is the option for chocolate?

Beat me to it. That would be my #1 choice.

I don't drink milk unless it's with cookies, but in cereal or anything else I use skim (also skim with cookies). When I was a kid, my mom hated that I disliked milk so much. Now I also like Fat Free Plus. I can drink 1%, but 2% or especially whole is so "thick" that it grosses me out. Ick.
