Kroger's low carb milk
 

Just FYI, I saw that Kroger is selling their brand of CarbMaster low carb milk. I did not buy. Wow! It is more expensive than Hood Calorie Countdown low carb milk!!!!

I saw it last weekend but I still bought the Hood, carb amounts were the same but I think the Kroger might have been lower-calorie.

Well I thought since their CarbMaster yogurt is less expensive than the other yogurts, that the milk might be less also.

I bought it out of curiosity. Would not buy it again. But then again, I'm not a fan of the Hood milk either. Both are just too watered down for my liking. By the way, the closest thing I've tasted to real milk is LC Foods milk mix.

LC Milk Mix
 

It tasted good but I couldn't cook with it.
No custards or anything. I get Hood 2 % and if you want
it a bit richer add a little cream/sugar sub. Comes out just like
any 2% milk without the milk sugar. Our Kroger's is called
Ralph's in So. Cal. I wasn't crazy about their CarbMaster yogurt
products. Thanks for the head's up.

Hi Barbo, I mostly use the LC milk mix for cold applications. Cereal and drinks. I like to mix in some hazelnut butter and a bit of sweetener. Or mix in Monin Irish Cream Syrup and other things for a mudslide. I also use the powder by itself for bread and cinnamon rolls.
I think the Kroger brand low carb milk is similar to the Hood milk so for those that like Hood, they will probably like the Kroger brand as well. I still have almost a full carton left of the Kroger milk. I will try adding HWC to it and see if its more palatable to me. Once its gone though, I won't be buying it again.

Just wondering, how much of the powder do you use to mix with heavy cream and water? Didn't know there was such a thing!!!

Thanks!

For the milk mix, I add 3-4 TBS of the milk mix to 8 oz cold water and 2-3 TBS HWC. A drop of EZ sweets and a pinch of salt. You can play with the amount of mix and HWC to suit your liking. I'm a sucker for things rich and creamy ( hence the reason I love this WOE lol) But you can use less to make skim milk. I haven't tried to cook with it so Barbo may be right. I only use the mix for cold things.

Thanks TulipsandRoses!

Guess that bag of powder would last a good while!

Ok so I did as Barbo suggested, added some HWC and sweetener to the Kroger milk and added a dash of salt and that did the trick! Thanks Barbo. Its a lot more milk like to me now. I guess I will buy it again, just need to add the tweaks.

Barbo, have you tried them lately? I used to hate them because they tasted very watery and chalky and only came in about 4-5 ordinary flavors. They've upped the fat content and added tons of new flavors and now they're much better. It comes in these flavors:

Banana Cream Pie
Blackberry
Blackberry Pomegranate
Black Forest Cake
Caramel Spice Cake
Carrot Cake
Cherry
Cinnamon Roll
Key Lime
Peach
Raspberry
Raspberry Yumberry
Spiced Pear
Strawberry Banana
Strawberry Colada
Strawberry Pomegranate
Strawberry
Tropical Fruit
Vanilla Chai
Vanilla
White Chocolate Raspberry

The one flavor that I wish they had is blueberry. They've got half a dozen strawberry and raspberry variations but not one blueberry.

although i am no expert in the baking dept....
 

when it comes to adding any sort of milk, use cream and add water to get the proper consistency your recipe calls for, and keeps the carb count from rising. If this was already mentioned-you have my apologies. Love & Profits: FLATFERENGHI

Those look good and I haven't tried the Carbmaster lately so I might have to try again.

The one flavor that they used to have in their lite yogurt that they discontinued and I still this this day mourn the loss of is the Kiwi Passionfruit. I loved that stuff. My husband's cousin works at the Kroger dairy in our hometown and when I asked him why it was discontinued he said because of low sales and I told him the only reason they were low is because they didn't make enough of it. So many times I would go to buy it and the shelf would be bare so when I did find it I would buy all they had.

I had the same experience. I remember that was one of my favorite flavors too. It might have sold better if they'd actually ever had it in stock. It was always sold out.

Can't get Hood here, so I bought some of this. I will definately add Barbo's suggestions. Thanks Barbo

I LOVE the carbmaster yogurt and so glad they have so many flavor options!

I am disappointed to hear that people aren't liking the carbmaster milk though. I had planned on buying it this week (since Hood isn't avail to me anymore). I have $1 off coupon for the carbmaster milk.
