Faithful customer
I have become a faithful user of Better Than Milk soymilk powder and have found it to be an excellent product for my drinking and cooking needs. The folks at Nature’s Pantry in our area recommended Better Than Milk to me, and I’ve been hooked ever since. There is one thing I do of which I find it to be more similar to drinking regular milk and that is I pasteurize the amount in very hot water and mix with a whisk; then chill for cold milk or use hot into foods for mashed potato’s, etc. The directions only mention cold water mixing.
