I rarely drink or buy milk but I like the 3.8% sometimes for me and my cats. They only get a whisker so to speak

I like to add whipped cream or some of that 10% stuff to get the fat % up

On the non-milk side, this coconut milk is amazing

Ripple Pea Milk is great too, very smooth and somewhat satiating

    What % is whole? Is it pasteurized?

    I'm guessing you're not from the states because that's a very common term in the U.S.

    Whole milk has nothing to do with pasteurization, although when you see milk on the store shelves in the US, it's typically going to be pasteurized.

    I don't think it's usually advertised terribly, clearly, with percentages, but my memory is that it's 3.25 or above milkfat by weight.

    I want to say the ratios are more like what you would find in a natural milk anyway, but I don't recall for certain if that's correct.

    In the end, all milk is mostly water, but skim and 1% to me typically taste more like water. The extra fat makes it much richer.

    Us Canucks call it Homo (homogenized) milk. No that's not a reference to the sexual orientation of the cow. In most of the world "Whole" milk is what Americans call "Raw milk."

    Almond or oat, usually. Unsweetened and no added flavours like vanilla or whatever.

    Whole (3.5%) powdered milk because I need it to last for a month or two at a time.

    I am trying to eat more vegan, but half & half in my chai is turning out to be a difficult vice to give up.

    I was not prepared for the price difference. The coconut milk was close in price to my half and half, but the coco cream was about 3 times as much.

    Edit double checked the receipt: the coconut milk is 80 cents more, the cream is 5 times as much.

    Yeah, the cream is really good shit but it can be pricey, best to stock up when its on sale or see if Costco has a deal for it

    Ive definitely got it at Costco before and my gut says the price was more reasonable in bulk than buying a la carte in a regular grocery store. Also try an ethnic grocery store too, they might have a better source

    We have 1 grocery store in town (and a Walmart). Next time I am in the city I will check Costco and try to get to the Indian grocery, or the Asian market.

    2% because anything less taste like water in my coffee.
    It is still ~70 calories for half a cup tho.

    Whole milk or 2%, I'm not picky! Usually I only drink milk while pregnant or breastfeeding because I need the hydration and the calories, so it's often consumed as chocolate milk! Any other time in my life it's usually only consumed in recipes, cereal, or as foam over coffee.

    Whole milk for me because the low fat 1.5% version tastes like sulfur to me. But even with 3.5% it’s still very slightly noticeable, so I don’t drink milk often

    3.8% organic. I would love to buy free range milk (as I used to) but the one they're selling here tastes like it's been contaminated somehow.

    At this very moment i'm drinking a cup of milk. Whole (somewhere between 3.4 - 6%), pasteurized.

    I’m lactose-intolerant, so I use lactose-free 0% fat milk for my coffee. For some reason 0 fat tastes so much better than the % reduced variants to me. I also use almond milk for making home-made milk tea. I’ve tried pea milk too. And now I’m trying cashew milk.

    Try the coconut milk by Vita-Coco (added a pic in the post text), its the closest thing to non-milk milk I've ever tasted. Very creamy and perfect amount of sweetness tho its no sugar added. Coconut cream is fantastic, its nice over frozen fruit too, makes a nice little easy sorbet

    It kinda reminds me of the leftover milk after you've eaten all the cereal.
