 Great tasting milk Jul 02, 2007
By p reek
"Trish"
This is really good tasting and you always have an easy way to have milk any time you want it. All you do is add water. What could be easier? I would recommend this product to anyone.

good milk, quick & easy Aug 05, 2008
By Alice Wakefield
When Bob's Red Mill went up, I decided to give this one a try, and I'm glad I did. Bob's is good, but not so much for drinking straight. I haven't enjoyed a glass of ice cold milk in a while, it was great.
Comes in one big bag inside of a big box, so I transferred some to another container.

Great taste, great price Sep 14, 2008
By Donald E. Faulkner
I started looking online for a milk alternative since I'm in college, need breakfast, and don't want to pay $4.50 for a half gallon of milk. I decided on Saco after reading reviews, and this stuff rocks. It tastes better, drinks fresher, and doesn't give me gas in the least bit. I'm never buying store milk again.

 A good way to prepare and store your SACO milk Mar 30, 2010
By Annie Van Auken
I decided to switch from grocery store milk to SACO's powder for mathematical reasons. As a single lady who uses milk primarily for my tea, I rarely finish a one-gallon bottle before it sours (hate that race to use it all!), and buying half gallon containers absolutely bugs me, as it costs five bucks for two (purchased one at a time) instead of three skins for a single gallon. Plus, there's the inconvenience of schlepping to the store every few days for another half-gallon. I'm a "stock up and go shopping as infrequently as possible" type.
Here's my solution for mixing and storing SACO milk.
1.) Buy two plastic half gallons of store milk and rinse the bottles out thoroughly when they're empty.
2.) Mix up a quart of SACO in a large Pyrex (glass) handled measuring cup and use its convenient spout to pour the milk into an empty grocery bottle. Repeat the process. (Note: having the Pyrex device clearly marked off in red sure makes measuring the powder easy. Just start with 8 oz. of SACO, then add water to the quart line.)
3.) Put the cap on the filled bottle and vigorously shake this half-gallon to assure all the SACO has dissolved. Refrigerate. (A bottom shelf is best, as it's colder.)
4.) When you get down near to the last of that bottle, mix up a second one and refrigerate it. This way, you'll always have a supply of milk on hand. Rinse out the first container when it's empty and leave the cap off. Give it a quick rinse just before re-using.
I chose grocery bottles for storage as it satisfies a life-long habit of pouring milk from one. Since I'm no longer buying one gallon jugs, lifting and pouring from these smaller bottles is much less of a strain, and I have YET to throw away any milk mixed from powder because the half-gallon spoiled before I could finish it all.
If you've never before experimented with instant non-fat milk but are thinking along the lines of this review's first paragraph, give SACO a shot. Those two half-gallon bottles I suggested just may be the last milk you'll ever lug home from the market.

Best tasting powdered milk Jul 15, 2010
By J. Pearcey
Powdered milk doesn't really taste like fresh milk, so don't expect it to. This is the best tasting powdered milk I've found, though--the closest to fresh. Most of them taste cardboard-y; this one just tastes kind of cooked. I have a toddler, and I leave a pre-measured amount in a sippy cup in the car, so that I just have to add water if we're out and have a milk "emergency." My favorite use for it is camping, where weight and refrigeration are really issues.
A word to the wise, though--don't buy this to save money on milk. It works out to about 40 cents more per gallon than I'm currently paying for fresh skim milk.
