Q. Skim Milk Plus tastes SO much better than skim milk. Why? What do they do to it and is it okay to drink?
A. What you've got there is a skim milk that has extra dried milk powder added to it. The extra milk solids make the milk a little thicker and creamier-tasting without adding extra fat. Compared with regular skim milk, these fortified skim milk products are higher in protein and calcium but they're also slightly higher in calories--and significantly more expensive. They're perfectly fine as an alternative to skim milk.
