For backpacking I am wanting to use some powdered milk for breakfast cereal and I am trying to find some that tastes good. Anyone have a favorite brand that tastes like regular milk?
I haven't tried it yet but I've seen where some "freezer-bag" chefs recommend whole milk "Nido"--a Nestle's product. Be sure to pass on any recipes you like--like a lot of folks, I've never been quite able to figure out the breakfast ration part of the day.
Have not seen Nido around here, but have not looked for it. I plan on trying some Post raisin bran and dried apples or dried bananas with the powder milk. Figure if I am near a creek I can mix the milk the night before and lay it in the cold creek for a cool milk additive for breakfast.... Thanks for the Nido suggestions. Sounds like it may be what I want.
Nido here too. For some reason you find it in the Hispanic food section here, only the nonfat stuff in the baking isle.
Walmart in the Hispanic/Ethnic food section. I've seen it there in several states. Make sure you DON'T buy the one with the baby on the label. It is iron fortified and you might not schit for a while.
I've seen one named "Daisy," but never "Carnation."
That is odd cause that is the most common brand name in these parts.
I'm another fan of Carnation instant non-fat dry milk. I get it in one-quart packets at the local grocery stores, both Safeway and King Soopers. You have to let it slake for a while (15-20 minutes) to get rid of the instant milk taste. But after that I can't tell the difference from the real thing. Breakfast cereal and milk is one of my favorites when I'm doing the no-cook thing.
Used to use Carnation powdered milk, but switched to non-dairy creamer powder. Tastes more like milk when used over cereal on the trail, IMO. Mixes better.

Dude, that is some artery-cloggin' [bleep]. For real. Do a little reading on hydrogenated fats. When I read the words, "partially-hydrogenated" on a label, I put it back on the shelf.
