Tag: Skimmed milk substitute

According to a 2023 study published in the *Turkish Journal of Agriculture - Food Science and Technology*, interest in plant-based milk alternatives like soy, almond, and oat has significantly increased as more people seek out sustainable options. But what is a dairy free alternative to skimmed milk that closely mimics its light texture and mild flavor?

On average, a cup of whole milk contains about 3.5% milk fat, whereas skimmed milk has less than 0.5% fat. This fundamental difference is crucial when asking, "Can I use normal milk instead of skimmed milk?" The answer isn't a simple yes or no; it depends heavily on the recipe and your desired outcome for texture, flavor, and fat content.
