Powdered Milk

Its hard to get over childhood traumas but time has a way of helping us to overcome and heal.  With time I have discovered:

1. The taste of powdered milk has improved since I was a kid.  There are several companies that make an ok powdered milk (Bob’s Red Mill, Nestle, Great Value).  Here is a link to an article Utah Preppers wrote about which powdered milk taste best.
2. It is an important staple in adding valuable nutrients to food storage meals.  Powdered milk typically has Calcium, Vitamin D, and other nutrients which nourish and strengthen bones.
3.  It is a good source of protein and calories.  It’s one of the less-expensive means of adding protein to your food storage.  Protein & calories can keep your body strong during hard times so having an easy way to add both to every meal is worth considering.
4. There are so many better uses for powdered milk than drinking it.  One of my mother-in-law’s friends, whose name is Terry Clark, shares her message: “Don’t Drink the Milk!” at Preparedness Fairs.  She has discovered ways to turn powdered milk into something YUMMY.  Her recipes are linked at the bottom of this post.
