The smell and taste of this product is a very pleasant, slightly sweet milk flavor.

The powdered milk mixture when added to water comes out looking like a low-fat milk, although the instructions on the can say you can increase the proportion of DariFree to water to make a creamier consistency.

I have to say that this product was MUCH better than I anticipated. Generally speaking I’m not a huge fan of powdered milk or milk substitutes. But after I tried this product on its own and in a cinnamon coffee cake I realized what a great product this would be for people who have issues with rice, soy, gluten, casein, etc. and who also want to enjoy a product that is fat free and cholesterol free.

This month we tested DariFree Non-Dairy Milk Alternative. This is a powdered dairy alternative that is gluten-free, casein free, fat free, soy free, rice free, MSG free, protein free, and cholesterol free. This is a great alternative to milk or soy milk for someone who is on a gluten-free diet, casein free diet and/or someone who has difficulties with rice or soy. Plus it has the added benefit of being fat free and cholesterol free. This product contains as much calcium as milk plus it contains a ton of vitamins. DariFree also comes in chocolate for those chocolate lovers out there.
We tried the original flavor which is closest to plain milk flavor. It is slightly sweet (but sugar is actually relatively low – only 2g per serving). It’s very easy to make…simply add hot water to the powder and then refrigerate. This product is great for cereal, as a creamer for coffee, baking and even on its own (although we prefer it for the later three uses). I can also see this as a great option for traveling or camping.
