great protein moove

Here is one you can drink 'till the cows come home! Nonfat Dry milk is a low cost, high-protein food that offers an excellent source of calcium and is a great moove for fortifing your diet with extra protein without adding fat. 

Nonfat dry milk is made by remooving water from pasteurized fat free milk. It contains all the protein, vitamins, and minerals found in fresh, fluid nonfat milk. Most nonfat dry milk has added Vitamin D and Vitamin A, just like regular milk. Serving reconstituted dry milk cold would also be a good moove to enhance the taste.

You can add nonfat dry milk powder to beverages, shakes, and many main dish recipes including fish, poultry, and eggs. It can also be used in combination with dried beans, peanut butter and cheese. 

One serving (1/3 cup) of nonfat dry milk powder has 8 grams of protein, and about 80 calories. 1/3 cup dry milk powder + 1 cup water = 1 cup milk. 1 1/3 cup dry milk powder + 3 ¾ cups water = 4 cups (1 quart) milk. 

People with lactose intolerance may have trouble with nonfat dry milk. For additional protein sources for those with lactose intolerance, it may behoove you to consider adding foods such as soy, tofu, beans, nutritional yeast, and eggs to your diet. 

More ideas on high protein additions to your diet as well as recipes using dry milk coming soon.
