Allergen Info
Milk
What is this food?
This is skim milk powder (milk powder made from skim milk). It’s mostly used as a drink or added to cooking for protein and calcium, and it can also be used to make milk-based drinks and desserts.
Why it matters to health
Skim milk powder helps support your daily needs for protein (good for building and repairing body tissues) and calcium (important for strong bones). It also has natural sugars (about 47.8 g per 100 g) and sodium (about 496 mg per 100 g), so it’s best to use the right amount when you’re having it as a drink or ingredient. While it has low fat (0.8 g total fat, with 0.53 g saturated fat), the sugar and sodium can add up if you use too much powder or mix it with sweeteners.
Healthier tips
- Measure the powder: follow the package mixing instructions to avoid too much sugar and sodium.
- Choose less added sugar: if you’re making milk drinks, limit sweeteners (or use cinnamon/vanilla for flavor).
- Pair with balanced meals: for example, have it as part of breakfast or as a snack with fruit or oats to keep your day balanced.
- Watch frequency: since you usually have 3 meals plus 1–2 snacks, use milk powder in 1 snack/day or as an ingredient, not all snacks.
- Hydrate and add fiber: if you’re drinking it, also eat fiber-rich foods (like fruits or whole grains) during the day.
