"Better Than Milk"
Hi, Flagwaver~
The "Better Thank Milk" arrived, and it is really GOOD!
I mixed up a qt and put it in our just-almost-empty Silk soy milk carton, and ds never even noticed the change. I sure noticed, though ~ the BTM tastes lots better, IMHO. I can pour it up for a nice cold drink and enjoy it (I don't enjoy other soy milks plain).
It is a "lighter" milk ~ both in color and texture, than the Silk and other boxed milks. It mixes easily with slightly warm water, and then you dilute to your liking.
Here's some info from the label.......
At the top, it says "Vegan Beverage Mix" ~ Low fat ~ lactose free ~ Cholesterol free ~ Caseinate free ~ Gluten free.
Ingredients: Tofu (water, soy solids, calcium sulfate), maltodextrin (from corn), modified food starch, sunflower oil, calcium blend, natural flavors (no msg, no dairy), sea salt, guar gum, xanthan gum, anatase titanium dioxide (a mineral for color), vegetable mono and diglycerides, vitamin b12, vinamin e
Serving size: 2 Tablespoons powder (23 g) makes 8 oz mixed
Container size: 736 g
Servings per container: about 32 (about 8 qts mixed)
Calories: 100
Fat 2.5 g
sodium 100 mg
protein 2g
Shelf life: purchased June 04, and the expiry date on the bottom of the can says 08-03-05, so it should last a year easily!
I haven't tried it in baking yet, but look forward to making my own "mixes" with it, especially pancake mix.
I'm going to check with the SDA Foundation store that my parents frequent to see if it can be purchased a bit more cheaply there. They seem to be more reasonable on many items such as this ~ I'll let you know if it is a better deal, as she is always glad to ship anywhere.
Blessings to you!
