When I was a child, we drank powdered milk out of sheer necessity. Since it is (obviously) shelf stable, it is the kind of milk we were able to pick up from the food pantry. It was a Saturday morning routine – wake up, turn on cartoons, make powdered milk, pour cereal. One pitcher didn’t last long in a house with 5 young kids!
Now that I am older, I am realizing there are actually tons of benefits to drinking and incorporating powdered milk into my diet! I’m working with Milkman to share three benefits of powdered milk. I received compensation for this post but all opinions are 100% my own.
I have to admit, since I grew up picking up powdered milk at the food pantry, I was shocked to learn how popular Milkman powdered milk is! In 2011 they ceased production. But after a barrage of emails and letters and phone calls, they resumed production this year! Now you can purchase Milkman powdered milk on their website, Amazon.com, and REI.
Three huge benefits of powdered milk
1. Shelf Stable – You can take it camping, hiking, and even in your storm shelter. Just add water and you have milk! (Oh boy does that bring back childhood memories).
2. Healthy addition to coffee – It has a low fat content and is filled with protein. Just a few sprinkles and you have a creamy addition to your morning cup of joe.
3. Perfect for baking – Use in place of liquid milk in baking. It disperses evenly and completely, something that many bakers appreciate.
What am I leaving out? Can you think of other benefits of powdered milk?

I can imagine that a business could really benefit from getting their dairy powder from a professional. Making sure that they can work with a professional could be really useful. Thanks for explaining how they can be stable on the shelf.
