No Fat Milk

Hi there,
I've recently started drinking no fat milk in my coffee after drinking full cream all my life. The only issue is, to me, both brands i've tried taste mouldy pencil shavings. The brands i've tried are shape and physical no fat.
Has anyone got any recommendations for milk that tastes like... well, milk? ^__^

Thanks.

    Organic low fat milk tastes creamier to me.

    If you don't like the skim, maybe try 1% or 2%.
    Actually whole milk would have fewer kcals than cream anyway.

    Definitely worth it to get organic milk, regardless of which %. Organic skim milk is possibly the biggest difference when bought organic.

    non fat dairy creamer, if it's just for your coffee then that should replicate cream well enough.

    If you're determined to go off full fat, go down to a 2% rather than the no fat.

    I don't know if Cowhead is available in your country but if it is, you should try one. It looks like this:

    I currently use the Cowhead Slim (green one) as milk for my cereal since it only has around 39 calories for 100ml and It's fat free OR you could try the Cowhead Lite (light blue one) it has 47 calories for 100ml but its only advantage is it kinda tastes better but for me it doesn't really kinda matter since I can only taste the cereal while eating with either one of those two.

    Here are its nutritional facts:
    1. Cowhead Slim, Fat Free (Green)

    2. Cowhead Lite, Low Fat (Light Blue)

    All I can say is that they really do taste like milk, especially the Lite one but it isn't fat free so you can decide which one.

    I never drink skim anymore, always at least 1% fat organic, and usually go with half and half, or real creamer for my coffee, because I can use much less of it and still get the same effects

    2% at a minimum.

    low fat is like old fish tank water.

    2 TB of half and half (1 per cup of coffee) comes to 40 calories that are so very worthwhile in the morning. It took a while to get used to using less cream than I had been, but using a lower-fat option just meant I used more and enjoyed it less. Then again, I'm not particularly afraid of fat.

    I like skim milk.

    But how much cream where you drinking that you HAVE to cut it? Just make it fit if that's what you like.

    Thanks everyone. We don't have 2% milk in Australia but my guess is there's something similar enough on our shelves. Never even thought of coffee creamer! :3

    I went from 2% to fat-free. I got used to the difference in less than a week, but I don't drink coffee.

    I use Fat Free Half & Half. It works well for coffee.

    Lactaid milk has a nice taste to it I find. I get the 1%.
