 Convenient to use and storeNov 26, 2010
By Eric Watt
The description may be a little unclear, so just to clarify, you are getting 12 boxes, each box has 3 packets, so a total of 36 packets. Each packet makes 1Qt of milk. Those of you that have purchased powdered milk before will see how convenient this this. To get powdered for a reasonable price at the store, you need to buy the biggest box they have. The problem there is that as soon as you open it, you need to find better containers to store it in, preferably air tight and not made of plastic.
The smaller packets you get with this product remove the need to find secondary storage containers. Because you don't have to open it all at once, you don't have to worry about the moisture making the milk go bad, or light reducing the vitamin quality.
If you have never used powdered milk before, there are some nice benefits. The main benefit to me is that it doesn't go bad. I don't drink enough milk to justify buying it by the gallon, and even buying half gallon sizes it would go bad before I could use it. With powdered milk I never have to worry about it going bad, nor do I need to wonder if I have milk on hand.
Now, as for taste, I don't drink milk by itself, powdered or not. I've read that if you do, it's best to mix it up and then let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. I use it in protein shakes, where it tastes no different than regular milk. I imagine it would be great for things like smoothies as well.
Another great use for powdered milk is adding it to coffee. Much healthier for you than powdered non-dairy creamer, and just as creamy and delicious. And, unlike regular milk, the powdered milk will not cool down your coffee nearly as much. I've gotten a few people hooked on using powdered milk in their coffee.

Convenient, for sure!!Dec 29, 2007
By James F. Michael
My wife is cursed with arthritic hands and the those large dehydrated milk boxes are just too much for her to handle. Since the quality of dry milk is about the same by every maker, Mix 'n Drink is an excellent product. It is a wonderful alternative packaging with its 3-gallon packets which are easy to open and pour from. Price increases among like products or other cost differences are not as important as my wife's health and comfort.

 good stuffJul 16, 2010
By S. Mccausland
"whale lover"
This product is easy to mix and use. Convenient to keep on hand.
stores well--longer than recommended if kept in cool, dry place (such as the basement). Though with drinking it does taste better after a few hours of refrigeration, it can be used immediately with good flavor. For cooking, it can't be detected as different from whole milk. I first began using it to help a limited budget, but several months later when I could afford whole milk again my kids decided they liked the Mix n Drink milk better.

 12 cents a Quart price increase over nightSep 05, 2007
By Marika E. Buchberger
"Shutter Bug"
This product was .78 cents a quart one day, which made it about .02 cents cheaper per quart than the local supermarket. Now it's jumped to .90 cents per quart making it .10 cents more expensive per quart than the local supermarket. I gave it 3 stars because of the massive jump in price but the quality of the product itself gets 4.5 stars.

 too expensiveSep 22, 2011
By richman
The price of 43 dollars makes this product over 4 dollars a gallon for this product. I can pick up regular whole milk for a lot less than this.
The price was around 22 dollars around July-August 2011 , less than 2 months ago.
Buy it at 43 dollars and this product will go up even higher. Or wait until price drops back to 22 dollars.
