I have only followed the directions; however it is very rich tasting and probably taste fine with either less milk or more water. I would buy a small container and experiment with it. After trying so many dried milk powders I find this one best. If you do like skim milk try to find milkman as that used to be my choice of dried milk for a very long time before I discovered Peak. you can find milkman powdered milk on amazon, just type in milkman powdered milk.

Skim milk is milk with the fat totally removed from the product during processing. Since this is whole milk to begin with, mixing this with more water will not get rid of the fat content. I mix reduced amounts Peak milk with dry skim milk to lower the overall fat content. You would be better off getting a dry skim milk product.

good question. I like skim milk too. If you add less water to this dry milk it'll taste like watered down reconstituted milk but it won't taste bad, just more watery than milky. Good skim milk tastes like milk, only not as full flavored as whole milk. reconstituted milk with less dry milk added tastes watery with a slight milk aftertaste. try it. if you initially add too little dry milk powder and find that after it's chilled that you don't like the flavor, you can always add more powder. This dry milk powder is not skim though, so you will be getting the fat. That's probably why it tastes better than other dry milk powders I've tried. good question. I like skim milk too.

It must be partly due to the recipe. If there's too much water in the mixture, it will freeze solid. Sounds like you need more milk fat in the mixture.

I'm not sure why you want to add milk instead of water...do you want a higher calcium/calorie product? Perhaps you can contact them via the toll free number.....they usually can answer all your questions....Good luck!

You can use water, milk or a combination. I use a little water to dissolve the mix and fill my cup slightly (allowing me to use a little less milk to cut calories) then add my hot frothed milk.

I never tried mixing with water. It depends on individual taste. Try with a little water; if you don't like it dump it. I blend a scoop and a half in fat-free, lactose-free milk with a banana and seasonal berries (there is always some kind of berries available in the market) to make a 16-18 oz protein shake. There is my breakfast. It'll take me through till lunch. Instead of milk, one can blend with fruit juice also. You can try blending in other ingredients. My teenage son blends it in organic rice milk. In addition to fruits, he also blends organic peanut butter in it. I never tried it, although he says it tastes great. Again, it is all individual taste. Hope these suggestions help. I never tried mixing with water. It depends on individual taste. Try with a little water; if you don't like it dump it.

I don't have my container anymore-but I have issues with milk - I mixed mine with ice water and had no troubles. Taste just like really good chocolate milk.

Mix water, or milk, or cream, etc., a little at a time until you get the right consistency. It mixes easily and does not lump. It's a good substitute when you don't have fresh, so I keep it on hand.

I add vanilla syrup with skim milk regularly. Froth is thick and sweet, like warm cool whip!

I don't see why you couldn't. I have used skim, 2% and whole milk and all have come out great.

Yes. We do not like thin, watery yogourt. The less fat in the milk you use, the thinner the yogourt. But with the recommended yeast, we get thick enough yogourt even with skim milk.

it says you can do it, but I haven´t try it. I have try skim milk and it worked but takes longer.

I mix it with water only. Tastes delicious with either milk or water. Best shake on the market!

Im sure you can. Ive always mixed mine with whole milk. Just make sure you stir it good because it doesnt mix very well

No I don't think so. It's fine but it's not powder fine and probably wouldn't dissolve in the milk.

Add evaporated milk or more fat like whole milk or even half and half at the start, or my preferred method is to just drain the liquid whey off the top because I need it low fat.

Try a higher fat content milk just to see how that works out. The rule of thumb is...less fat, more froth. Maybe you're getting too much froth because of the thin consistency of the skim milk. Although that still shouldn't happen. Also, do you run a cycle of water to warm up the frother before each use like is recommended? It seems like you have an over abundance of steam going into the frother. Try those two things and see what happens.

The mixing instructions are 1/2 cup of the powder to 1/4 cup water. For me, it tasted dreadful and I would not use it even for cooking. It might be better to substitute milk for the water.
