I just opened a can of Nido I stored away in 2015 and forgot about (it was past the best by date when purchased as it was clearanced) Just opened it a few days ago 2021 and it tasted perfect. It lasts long past the best by date when stored air tight and in a cool dark place.
18 years ago, when my daughter was being transitioned from formula to fresh milk, she hates it. So we gave her a Nido that's made for babies. She drank that until she was 4 😂
Wow! I just bought two of large cans of Nido on sale at Amazon for like eight dollars each! I did not know I could put them in a jar with an oxygen absorbers for long-term!! Thank you so very much for all of this great info!! Ps......I made a quart of Nido for Thanksgiving when my Son came over and served it to him, he drank 2 glasses! He never knew it was Nido....this stuff is excellent!!!
I used to drink Nido everyday when my family and I had to move to Southeast Asia (missionaries) from CA. They also sell them in foil-packed in boxes there. Fresh milk was hard to come-by during the 1990s, this is kinda nostalgic..... 👌
I discovered the Nido milk several years ago and have been buying it ever since. It's the only one it doesn't taste awful and when I run out of regular milk or half-and-half I will use it in my coffee. When I travel I always carry it with me or buy it where I'm staying for easy storage so I don't end up with milk that spoils before I use it up. It tastes better and is healthier than that horrible Coffee-Mate. Plus you can add a little water to make milk for cereal if you keep a box of cereal in your room. I recommend it to so many people! I'm glad to hear you promoting it also.
Thanks for sharing. When the lockdown began, I bought several large tins of this to use in my tea. I grew up in England; I take my tea strong, with milk and sugar (a Builder's tea). Half and half was always my go-to milk, but now I actually prefer the flavour of Nido, as I can add as much creamy milk flavour as a bold cuppa can hold. The long-term storability is a definitive bonus. And...you can make awesome hot cocoa with it. None of that 'ya need three packets' stuff. Nido, cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla powder...add boiling water, et voila!
I bought two of these because you suggested it . And yes found them in Hispanic section in walmart just like you said. Thank you granny for helping us all get prepared!!!!
I just bought a new can of Nido 53 servings for only $2, but I couldn't read it since it was in Spanish so I found your channel thank you. There is a store here in Baton Rouge Louisiana that has products that have been sliced with a box opener by employees at various grocery stores. I bought 3 giant boxes of crackers, 3 bear Apple Crisps, 3 Parm crisps, a 16 ct box of Larabar bars, 25 oz Torani coffee syrup , 16 oz of Organic MCT Oil, 24 oz of ground coffee, 1 lb Naked Whey powder, etc. Everything in the store was $2, but they have days where everything is either $0.25 $0.50 $0.75 $1 $2 $3 $4
We were running low on fresh milk so I opened a can of Nido Fortificada and mixed it half and half with the fresh 2%. I can taste the difference, but it is not unpleasant. My family didn't notice the difference! We have to be sneaky sometimes!!!!
I always hated powdered milk until I got Great Value powdered milk. I couldn't believe that it tasted so good. I also bought some NIDO after you said it was good in one of your other videos. Thanks.
I just tried the great value and I love it! It’s like a skim milk. I put powder first in a pitcher and then dumped cold water over it and stirred it really good with a cooking spoon and there were no clumps. I didn’t really think to try powdered milk so I would keep some macadamia milk or almond milk on hand which are pretty awful! They don’t last long either. I’ll try Nido too! I almost bought a can on Amazon before I tried the great value but I didn’t want to buy that much to open at once. I love the great value pouches that make one quart. They also have powdered goats milk in a bag at Walmart. I got a can of that stuff and didn’t like it though.
This video resurfaced, and I'm so glad. I'll be buying it my next trip out. As of today, this size is $16.58 at Wal-mart. I watched another video where someone was using a different brand and suggested adding a bit of sugar and / or vanilla to improve the taste. I'm glad I saw that because someone gave me a different brand milk. Since Nido is made by Nestle, and I grew up on Nestle Chocolate Milk mix, I'm already confident about this. Thank you, Alaska Granny!
Greetings from North Pole AK! New subscriber to your channel, and thus far this has been my most favorite take away for prepping. We just tried Nido Fortificada after seeing your video, and it really tastes amazing. I enjoy it more than non-fat milk from the store, and it saves me from having to try non-fat milk powder before storing. Your videos are to the point, easy to understand and it helps us here in Alaska because you understand the special situations we face. Thanks for what you do!!!
Evaporated milk only contains one ingredient-milk. It can be reconstituted with equal parts water. You can drink reconstituted evaporated milk just as you would “regular” milk. Sweetened condensed milk, AKA condensed milk, has a great deal of sugar added and when reconstituted would not be anything like “regular” milk.
Thanks for your honesty about the taste of powdered milk. In the desert southwest storage is vital too. We use a chamber type of vacuum sealer and put up dated usable amounts in our pantry. Trying Nido as a substitute for powdered milk in an eggnog mix for the first time. Wish us luck.
This video was made in 2021 and that Nido was $15.69. Presently, 11/2022, the same container Nido is $ 17.98 at Walmart and $ 17.49 on Amazon. This Nido container makes 3.33 gallons of milk for $ 17.49 or !7.98 a Nido Container. I doubt one can buy 3.33 gallons of milk for that price now a days. Great to have stored away in case of bad weather or when SHTF. Great video and thank you.
@@AlaskaGranny my pleasure, still learning myself, have been prepping for 6 years now with my mother, in her 70's. From city of Liverpool, not far from the mountains of Wales, in case we have to move, to you in beautifull Alaska, take care.
First, Happy New Year Granny. I hope the year brings an abundance of peace, love, and chocolate. I was searching online for powdered milk last night. I ran across this on the Walmart grocery site. Spendy compared to other brands. Didn't consider how it compares to fresh milk. I'm really interested in how it tastes and the consistency after it's mixed. Is it milk-like? My Aunt uses powdered milk in homemade soups. She likes the Members Mark from Sam's Club. I don't think she ever mixes it to drink. Great video, Granny. You provided a lot of tips for storage. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate that you don't make money from this. You're not monetized. You don't push affiliate sales. You do it because you're generous. You want to share with people. I'd like to send back a little love from North Carolina ❤️❤️. I'm looking forward to some wonderful videos in 2021. Thank you, Granny. You're a ⭐
Thanks for your heartfelt comments. My channel is monetized, and I do include affiliate links to amazon products. I make very little money from my channel, and consider it a bonus! I do enjoy sharing information with others, and that is why I make videos.
It is milk like, make sure you mix it with warm water and then make sure you get it cold before you drink it. Has a slight different taste than whole milk but is still very very tasty!
I add a 1/4 cup or more of this to my chocolate milk and other protein drinks and it really helps add a CALORIES, CARBS AND PROTEIN to them. If your trying to gain weight or workout, its a good addition to get even more of what you need without adding significant volume. A 1000 calorie drink is great unless you have to drink a gallon, so maximum calories, carbs, protein packed into a smaller glass.
I always add a small amount of vanilla extract to my powdered milk. Makes it taste great. I will definitely get some Nido milk. It looks really good. Thanks for sharing.
I like using powdered milk to stretch my supply of boxed milk. I mix about two parts boxed milk to one part powdered milk. Tastes fine (to me anyway) and the boxed milk lasts longer.
Thank you and bless you. Everybody tells us how to store the milk for long term. You are the only one that also added the short term. I needed to know, what to do with that large can of milk after opening it because I don't use it quickly.
Ty for the video! I had just purchased the Walmart nonfat dried milk and was unaware of the bad taste! I returned it and order the nido on Amazon as I couldn’t find it locally!
I've been using Parmalat as my backup milk and rotate it appropriately. I just don't like it and it's not spoiled. It's UHT so I'm thinking the process has ruined the taste. I'm going to try Gossners and Nido. Milk is such an important food to prep. Thanks.
Darn I bought 2 of those 64oz bags of Non Fat dry milk from Chinamart, I had 3 cans of Nido at the beginning of this bug, but my Daughter every time she visited she left with a can for her kid. well now I got to get more Nido and use the other stuff for baking and cooking.
@@jungleno. guess what she had another kid and had to struggle with the shortage of baby formula and still didn't breast feed. People these days are either lazy or ignorant
I found this brand at Bakers (our local Kroger store). It was actually located in the baking aisle next to all the other powdered milk instead of the Hispanic area. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but hope to soon. Thank you AG for sharing your great ideas!
I bought some on the Nido on your recommendation. I haven’t tried it yet. I have tried Judee’s whole milk.(bought on Amazon). It is super creamy and delicious and is creamier than whole milk. It has a two year shelf life, so lasts longer than the whole milk in a carton from the $1.00 Store. I do plan to try mixing Judee’s whole milk with some nonfat milk and see if it makes the nonfat milk more palatable.
@@AlaskaGranny Oh, I have used Judee’s whole milk powder and it is amazing. I was so surprised at just how creamy it was. I couldn’t find Nido so I gave it a try. I just am now going to try to mix it with the nonfat milk that I don’t like much and see if it makes the nonfat dry milk I have taste better. I am going to try their other products next. Here is a link to the product. www.amazon.com/dp/B07K4Q7487/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_xLp9Fb1T3Z60Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
@@AlaskaGranny To add: I recently found a can of Nido at Walmart, so I will compare the two and see which one I like best, and see which one makes Walmart’s nonfat milk taste better.
@@AlaskaGranny I pulled out the Containers of Nido and Judee’s whole milk and here are the ingredients: Judee’s is just dried whole milk powder. Nido is whole milk, soy lecithin, sodium ascorbate (vitamin C), ferric pyrophosphate (iron), zinc silicate, vitamin A acetate, cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)
@@AlaskaGranny I purchased Judee's whole milk powder to make a hot cocoa mix. I had to dump it. The aftertaste was totally disgusting. I tried everything to try to change the formula. I just couldn't stand that milk, and there was nothing I could do to disguise the taste.
I use Nido in everything that calls for milk in my preps,mashed potato,hamburger helper ect,even use it in my bread machine recipe After I open a can I vacuum seal it the same way I do flour(brown paper bag 1st) Happy New Year Granny!!
This is the third layer of my milk storage. Always keep an extra gallon or two of fresh milk in the basement fridge since we go through it quickly. Keep about 40 quarts of Gossner Farms shelf-stable milk on hand plus two large cans of Nido. I like having some flexibility depending on access to water.
Wow, I'm just discovering these larger cans of Nido. I was looking for it over where the nonfat dry milks are and couldn't find it. And this was at the big Walmart. I only saw the Nido for children near the baby formula. Crazy that I found the large cans of the Nido Fortificada at a smaller Neighborhood Walmart! Now it's $19.98 for the 53 serving can. Sam's has a 73 serving can for about $4 more -- a better deal. The Neighborhood Walmart also had a smaller can that was a little more than 12 oz. for a little under $7. I suppose that could be sort of a trial size you could buy to be sure you like it before you commit to the higher priced larger quantity. This sounds like a good item for hurricane season. I like your idea of storing it in Zip-Loc bags and then in a canning jar.
Good to know. Tasting good is fantastic, but when it gets down to nip-and-tuck anything is better than nothing. Hard-Tak tastes like crap too but if all your trying to do is live? Sacrifices have to be made but hey I'll give this stuff a go! Good vid! 👍
I use Nido also. Don’t order it online from Walmart. Go buy it in person if you can. You will get a short shelf life. Now I saw a liquid milk in a carton at the Dollar Tree. It had a descent shelf life. Have tired it yet, but we will see. I do not suggest canning cold milk. It doesn’t hold good on the shelf long from my experience. Stay safe all.
The milk at Dollar Tree is by Gossner, and is UHT ultra high temperature processed to be shelf stable and last for months. It is great, and a real deal for $1. Here is a link to a video I made about it. th-cam.com/video/TkVtw7uSyo0/w-d-xo.html
I just tried the great value dried milk but it tastes really good to me. Its like skim milk. It’s way better than the macadamia milk that I kept on hand for emergencies. Way better than almond too. I may try this later too.
Hi AG- I also started to use the Nido on a more of a daily basis. I am trying to wean off the refrigerated flavored creamers. I love using the Nido in my coffee, very creamy & rich tasting, along with a squirt of sugar free syrup, together they are a great supplement to the flavored creamers. QUESTION- since Nido Fortifacado is a whole milk, I assume it can be stores the same way LT as FF Dry Milk in Mylar bag or vac sealed canning jar with O2's? Does it last just as long in LT storage as the FF Dry milk?
Thank you for your suggestion I just bought some and what I'm going to do is I'm going to use a pump and seal and put it away in mason jar large mouth thank you
Thanks, I will look on the foreign exchange isle. All I have so far is the Great Value non-fat powder milk and just realized it is non-fat. Don't they sell powdered whole milk or powdered 2%? I was hoping to find and mix it half and half with the fat free stuff I have.
Oh, I do use instant nonfat fry milk in bread baking & I haven’t noticed a difference bc I too absolutely hate the taste. My mom used to buy it in a big box & we had to drink it from time to time and we hated it & complained 😅
This is exactly the kind of powdered whole milk that I store and use, AG. Thank you so much for the review of the Nido brand. I'm sure it will help folks who are looking for tasty powdered milk to use and to store in their preps. :-D
Thank you Granny I just want a decent cup of coffee. My sister has a milk fetish and she does drink up to a gallon or more a day and I’ve been fighting this for three months on how to drink my coffee with using creamer It’s all true, Keep prepping..one day it’s all going to fold up and crumble Actually Soon !
I have learned that if you wait 24 hrs after you mix up your powdered milk to drink it you are allowing the milk sugars to reconstitute. That is what will make it okay to drink. Then if you want you can mix it half and half with your other milk to make it stretch farther.
The great value tasted fine to me right away with cold water. My water was bottled water from the fridge and I keep my fridge colder than average though.
yeah im going to do this or just make my own oat milk. Idk. Just tired of not having milk in the house when i want to eat cereal. Is this for kids or adults? Both?
I love this channel so much! Thank you for making this, I was researching which kind of powdered milk to store and happy to know what to get so I won’t wast time with the cheap fat free stuff🤣🤣
Hello and thanks for the vid. Just wanted to point out that it's 53, 1/4 cup servings according to the label. So only about 13.25 cups, or 8/10 of a gallon.Sam's Club has a 73 serving can (a little over a gallon) for 17.28
I don’t have Nido. I have plain Kroger dry milk. Do you put a bay leafs in it after vacuum sealing? My jar vacuum sealer broke, so no jars for me. I’ll vacuum seal.
How about adding a little Carnations Instant Breakfast in the vanilla flavor to improve the taste...or the chocolate or strawberry flavors if you are going to drink it "straight up" ?
I just tried the Carnations vanilla instant breakfast in the Nido... 2 or 3 teaspoons added to 1/4 cup of Nido and 8 oz. of water... really improved the taste.
Here in the PH there are various brands of powdered whole milk, filled milk etc. Nido is one of the better and more expensive brands. Kids are raised on powdered milk, as liquid milk is more expensive and has a shorter shelf life. We are all used to just dumping milk powder in a glass of hot or cold water for a quick drink. That's the norm. =-) Evaporated and condensed milk are usually for cooking and desserts.
Question...I have Nido in the 10# cans unopened. I would like to extend the shelf life past the best by date. Should I remove/place in mylar bags or leave unopened in the cans and how long will this last? Because it is whole milk, there is conflicting opinions about this. Thank you!
I am not a food scientist or chemist, and do not think you can extend the life because of the fat content. Rotate it within a few years of the date works for me.
can you use it to make "farmers" type soft cheeses with it or yogurt/sour cream type preparations. also check out the pasta/macaroni. it is a lot cheaper than name brands and cheaper than store branded pasta.
Mine doesn't say that, and I always use it immediately. Perhaps if you want it chilled, they are recommending you chill it overnight as it mixes best in warm water.
I am getting ready to vacuum seal some in canning jars for long term, do you add oxygen absorbers to each jar when you vacuum seal them? I want to make sure I do this right. Thanks in advance!
I have a Bisquick type recipe that uses powdered milk, that's the only way I use it. Gossners milk, you do need to refrigerate it if your going to drink it for sure.
I just opened original package Nido milk and repackaged to Myler bags so I can save on some storage space. But now I think I dis stupid thing by doing that . Can this milk be saved in Myler bag with oxygen absorber?
I had always heard that they had to remove the milk fat from powdered milk so that it didn't go rancid. Obviously, this is not the case with NIDO. Why doesn't Carnation leave the milk fat in? Please help me understand. Thanks!
I just opened a can of Nido I stored away in 2015 and forgot about (it was past the best by date when purchased as it was clearanced) Just opened it a few days ago 2021 and it tasted perfect. It lasts long past the best by date when stored air tight and in a cool dark place.

Haven't been having luck with the Parmalat lately. Last two I opened were spoiled. I'll try Nido or evaporated milk next time.
How disappointing with the Parmalat. If you have Dollar Tree near you, look for the Gossner milk.
I've been using Parmalat as my backup milk and rotate it appropriately. I just don't like it and it's not spoiled. It's UHT so I'm thinking the process has ruined the taste. I'm going to try Gossners and Nido. Milk is such an important food to prep. Thanks.
I bought several Nido from Sam’s club for impending doom. I’m glad you like it!
Can Nido be left unopened inside its original tin can, for long storage?
Darn I bought 2 of those 64oz bags of Non Fat dry milk from Chinamart, I had 3 cans of Nido at the beginning of this bug, but my Daughter every time she visited she left with a can for her kid. well now I got to get more Nido and use the other stuff for baking and cooking.
When is your daughter visiting, send her home with the nonfat milk, and hide the Nido!
Tell your daughter to breastfeed!
@@jungleno. guess what she had another kid and had to struggle with the shortage of baby formula and still didn't breast feed. People these days are either lazy or ignorant
Today, July 24, 2022 Amazon has it for $14.14 and with an extra 20% promo code it comes to $11.31 per can! I’m buying 4 right now.
I mixed Nido, cocoa powder, sugar, mini marshmallows and a dash of salt......vac sealed in jars for hot cocoa.
Sounds good.
Oh wow! Funny, I just bought some to store away and now I see this and feel good that I chose well. Thank you for your great info!
Enjoy!
Agree whole milk powder is best. NIDO has soy lecithin in it though, so I'd avoid.
Despite having the soy lecithin, I would use it in a pinch. A little bit of soy is not going to hurt you.
I found this brand at Bakers (our local Kroger store). It was actually located in the baking aisle next to all the other powdered milk instead of the Hispanic area. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but hope to soon. Thank you AG for sharing your great ideas!
Thanks for sharing!
I bought some on the Nido on your recommendation. I haven’t tried it yet.
I have tried Judee’s whole milk.(bought on Amazon). It is super creamy and delicious and is creamier than whole milk. It has a two year shelf life, so lasts longer than the whole milk in a carton from the $1.00 Store.
I do plan to try mixing Judee’s whole milk with some nonfat milk and see if it makes the nonfat milk more palatable.
I have never heard of the Judee's milk. Let us know if you like it.
@@AlaskaGranny Oh, I have used Judee’s whole milk powder and it is amazing. I was so surprised at just how creamy it was. I couldn’t find Nido so I gave it a try.
I just am now going to try to mix it with the nonfat milk that I don’t like much and see if it makes the nonfat dry milk I have taste better. I am going to try their other products next. Here is a link to the product.

@@AlaskaGranny To add: I recently found a can of Nido at Walmart, so I will compare the two and see which one I like best, and see which one makes Walmart’s nonfat milk taste better.
@@AlaskaGranny I pulled out the Containers of Nido and Judee’s whole milk and here are the ingredients:
Judee’s is just dried whole milk powder.
Nido is whole milk, soy lecithin, sodium ascorbate (vitamin C), ferric pyrophosphate (iron), zinc silicate, vitamin A acetate, cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)
@@AlaskaGranny I purchased Judee's whole milk powder to make a hot cocoa mix. I had to dump it. The aftertaste was totally disgusting. I tried everything to try to change the formula. I just couldn't stand that milk, and there was nothing I could do to disguise the taste.
I use Nido in everything that calls for milk in my preps,mashed potato,hamburger helper ect,even use it in my bread machine recipe
After I open a can I vacuum seal it the same way I do flour(brown paper bag 1st)
Happy New Year Granny!!
Sounds great! Thanks for the tip on how to vacuum seal it.
When you first get the cans do you open them and separate it and then vacuum sealing or just leave it alone unopened? Thanks
All your videos are informative and great. Thanks for looking out for us!
So nice of you.
I bought 3 of these based on a couple other reviews. This is like positive reinforcement of that choice. Thanks!😁
Great to hear!
We bought a box of dried milk and tried a bag. Mixed it with regular 2% milk and tasted fine.
That works if you have regular milk and care to mix them together. I use this when I don't have milk, and it tastes great.
Can i store Nidi in mylar bags?
I mix with some hot water first to dissolve it, then top off with cooler water and stick it in the fridge. Tastes great!
This is the third layer of my milk storage. Always keep an extra gallon or two of fresh milk in the basement fridge since we go through it quickly. Keep about 40 quarts of Gossner Farms shelf-stable milk on hand plus two large cans of Nido. I like having some flexibility depending on access to water.
Great tip!
Nice strategy to have Nido and gossner.
Wow, I'm just discovering these larger cans of Nido. I was looking for it over where the nonfat dry milks are and couldn't find it. And this was at the big Walmart. I only saw the Nido for children near the baby formula. Crazy that I found the large cans of the Nido Fortificada at a smaller Neighborhood Walmart! Now it's $19.98 for the 53 serving can. Sam's has a 73 serving can for about $4 more -- a better deal. The Neighborhood Walmart also had a smaller can that was a little more than 12 oz. for a little under $7. I suppose that could be sort of a trial size you could buy to be sure you like it before you commit to the higher priced larger quantity. This sounds like a good item for hurricane season. I like your idea of storing it in Zip-Loc bags and then in a canning jar.
Nido is good milk, look for it on the Hispanic aisle. I also order it from Amazon when the price is good.
Good to know. Tasting good is fantastic, but when it gets down to nip-and-tuck anything is better than nothing. Hard-Tak tastes like crap too but if all your trying to do is live? Sacrifices have to be made but hey I'll give this stuff a go! Good vid! 👍
The Hispanic aisle 😆😆😆 cracks me up. We are all going crazy😛
Feels like the end of the world by now!
I use Nido also. Don’t order it online from Walmart. Go buy it in person if you can. You will get a short shelf life. Now I saw a liquid milk in a carton at the Dollar Tree. It had a descent shelf life. Have tired it yet, but we will see. I do not suggest canning cold milk. It doesn’t hold good on the shelf long from my experience. Stay safe all.
The milk at Dollar Tree is by Gossner, and is UHT ultra high temperature processed to be shelf stable and last for months. It is great, and a real deal for $1. Here is a link to a video I made about it. th-cam.com/video/TkVtw7uSyo0/w-d-xo.html
@@AlaskaGranny ty
You are right. I did just that. It came a couple of days ago (4/12/21) and the expiration is In December. Won't do that again.
I just tried the great value dried milk but it tastes really good to me. Its like skim milk. It’s way better than the macadamia milk that I kept on hand for emergencies. Way better than almond too. I may try this later too.
So glad you enjoy the powdered milk.
I love your video. Thank you for sharing the information on how to storage milk.❤💯💫💫💫
Glad it was helpful!
We like the Bobs Redmill Drymill powder -it is a super fine powder an mixes great!
Good to know!
Hi AG- I also started to use the Nido on a more of a daily basis. I am trying to wean off the refrigerated flavored creamers. I love using the Nido in my coffee, very creamy & rich tasting, along with a squirt of sugar free syrup, together they are a great supplement to the flavored creamers.
QUESTION- since Nido Fortifacado is a whole milk, I assume it can be stores the same way LT as FF Dry Milk in Mylar bag or vac sealed canning jar with O2's? Does it last just as long in LT storage as the FF Dry milk?
Thank you for your suggestion I just bought some and what I'm going to do is I'm going to use a pump and seal and put it away in mason jar large mouth thank you
Great idea!
Good to know about the Nido milk, thanks Granny.
If I packed milk in sandwich bags as you shared ! Should I cut or put a slit in each bag before vacuum and sealing
I would not.
Thanks, I will look on the foreign exchange isle. All I have so far is the Great Value non-fat powder milk and just realized it is non-fat. Don't they sell powdered whole milk or powdered 2%? I was hoping to find and mix it half and half with the fat free stuff I have.
I found it at Walmart in n the Hispanic section near the baby formula. Can I store it in the container it comes in if I don’t open it?
Yes, you can store it in the container it comes in, I just repackage it in hopes it will last longer after I open it.
Oh, I do use instant nonfat fry milk in bread baking & I haven’t noticed a difference bc I too absolutely hate the taste. My mom used to buy it in a big box & we had to drink it from time to time and we hated it & complained 😅
This is exactly the kind of powdered whole milk that I store and use, AG. Thank you so much for the review of the Nido brand. I'm sure it will help folks who are looking for tasty powdered milk to use and to store in their preps. :-D
Glad to know you also recommend the Nido, and feel that my video is helpful!
Thank you Granny
I just want a decent cup of coffee.
My sister has a milk fetish and she does drink up to a gallon or more a day and I’ve been fighting this for three months on how to drink my coffee with using creamer
It’s all true,
Keep prepping..one day it’s all going to fold up and crumble
Actually Soon !
Thanks for that video. The label ingredients are much different from the NIDO label that I had found. I'll put this on my list for sure. Thanks again!
I like the Nido Fortificada.
GOD almighty bless you my beloved
🙋🏽♀️Yes Mam,
I’m doing everything you say to prepare manwich, soups water and more thanks
I have learned that if you wait 24 hrs after you mix up your powdered milk to drink it you are allowing the milk sugars to reconstitute. That is what will make it okay to drink. Then if you want you can mix it half and half with your other milk to make it stretch farther.
The great value tasted fine to me right away with cold water. My water was bottled water from the fridge and I keep my fridge colder than average though.
@alaskagranny do you suggest opening and repackaging nido? Or should the repackaging happen after it is opened. Thank you!
I repackage it after I open it.
yeah im going to do this or just make my own oat milk. Idk. Just tired of not having milk in the house when i want to eat cereal. Is this for kids or adults? Both?
I love this channel so much! Thank you for making this, I was researching which kind of powdered milk to store and happy to know what to get so I won’t wast time with the cheap fat free stuff🤣🤣
Hello and thanks for the vid. Just wanted to point out that it's 53, 1/4 cup servings according to the label. So only about 13.25 cups, or 8/10 of a gallon.Sam's Club has a 73 serving can (a little over a gallon) for 17.28
Thanks for the info!
I have 3 cans stored away and I just ordered 2 more. I think because it’s whole milk you can make cheese with it too.
I like this Nido milk. Making cheese would be great!
I don’t have Nido. I have plain Kroger dry milk. Do you put a bay leafs in it after vacuum sealing? My jar vacuum sealer broke, so no jars for me. I’ll vacuum seal.
Just tried Nido and loved it.
Nice!
They taste like fresh milk. Love ❤️
How about adding a little Carnations Instant Breakfast in the vanilla flavor to improve the taste...or the chocolate or strawberry flavors if you are going to drink it "straight up" ?
I just tried the Carnations vanilla instant breakfast in the Nido... 2 or 3 teaspoons added to 1/4 cup of Nido and 8 oz. of water... really improved the taste.
Help! I bought the Nido WHOLE milk and just need to know how many oxygen absorbers to put in it with mylar bags
Here in the PH there are various brands of powdered whole milk, filled milk etc. Nido is one of the better and more expensive brands. Kids are raised on powdered milk, as liquid milk is more expensive and has a shorter shelf life. We are all used to just dumping milk powder in a glass of hot or cold water for a quick drink. That's the norm. =-)
Evaporated and condensed milk are usually for cooking and desserts.
Nice to know you have tried lots of milks, and like the Nido. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Question...I have Nido in the 10# cans unopened. I would like to extend the shelf life past the best by date. Should I remove/place in mylar bags or leave unopened in the cans and how long will this last? Because it is whole milk, there is conflicting opinions about this. Thank you!
I am not a food scientist or chemist, and do not think you can extend the life because of the fat content. Rotate it within a few years of the date works for me.
can you use it to make "farmers" type soft cheeses with it or yogurt/sour cream type preparations.
also check out the pasta/macaroni. it is a lot cheaper than name brands and cheaper than store branded pasta.
I love the taste
Just coming to say it’s FINALLY back in stock under $20 for the BIG one that makes 4.5 gallons at Sams club. Get some while you can preppers!
The instructions say to make it the day before you need it. I've been using this when I run out of milk
Mine doesn't say that, and I always use it immediately. Perhaps if you want it chilled, they are recommending you chill it overnight as it mixes best in warm water.
How long will it last stored in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. Thanking you in advance
I am getting ready to vacuum seal some in canning jars for long term, do you add oxygen absorbers to each jar when you vacuum seal them? I want to make sure I do this right. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the tip!! I was wondering about adding milk to my pantry!
Glad it was helpful!
Might want to consider dry canning that powdered milk in those jars too.
I do store the milk in jars.
I really like Alaskan Granny!🙏🏾👍🏾💯
My family loves the Nido milk. It is all we buy now
Nice to hear that, thanks.
Great video. You can used Nido to make cheese, yogurt, hot chocolate, drink milk, etc.
Thanks for the tip!
Could you add cocoa powder for chocolate milk or hot cocoa?
Yes, you can use Nido just like milk.
I did! I made a giant jar of the mix and use it often!
This was very helpful. Thank you ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
I have a Bisquick type recipe that uses powdered milk, that's the only way I use it. Gossners milk, you do need to refrigerate it if your going to drink it for sure.
Thanks for the tips!
I just opened original package Nido milk and repackaged to Myler bags so I can save on some storage space. But now I think I dis stupid thing by doing that . Can this milk be saved in Myler bag with oxygen absorber?
I had always heard that they had to remove the milk fat from powdered milk so that it didn't go rancid. Obviously, this is not the case with NIDO. Why doesn't Carnation leave the milk fat in? Please help me understand. Thanks!
Nido milk cannot last as long as nonfat milk for the reasons you stated. I feel that it is worth rotating to have good tasting powdered milk.
Thanks! @@AlaskaGranny
