Adding Dry Milk to Skim milk???

Somewhere during My WLS journey I saw a "recipe" for adding Dry milk powder to skim milk to up the protien. I was wondering what ratio to use. How much per quart? Gallon? Also if you have done this, does it thicken up the milk to make it a little closer to the cosistancy of 1% or 2%?  I have not been able to go to totally skim but can tolerate 1/2% or using 3/4 skim and  1/4 1%. I am just looking for ways to increase protien everywhere.  Thanks.

Yes,you can do this and yes,it does make the milk more like the 1 and 2 %. the proportions are on the box. For a quart you mix:
3 3/4 cup cold water in a container.
Add 1 1/3 cups dry milk stir to dissolve. chill 2 hours before using.

In case you are watching carbs,etc one cup of reconstituted milk adds 80 cals,12 gms carbs and 12 gms of milk sugar as well as 8 gms of protein.

Good luck,

I think the recipe I saw was not to make it with water but to add protien to the milk you already have to boost protien. Any Ideas? would you just substitute the cold milk for the water? Doesn't sound quite right.

yes,you can just add the dry milk powder to your skim milk. you add 1/3 cup of dry milk to 8 ounces of skim milk.it will still up the cal,sugar and ,carbs. I used to do this and then decided the 8 gms of protein it added weren't worth the 12 gms of carbs it also added,though milk carbs are better then other kinds.

I make this Double Protein Milk all the time. I bought a glass refrigerator pitcher and make this ratio:

6 cups of skim milk
2 cups of dry non-fat milk powder

It's best if you chill it before drinking. I use it to mix my shakes and add to recipes.
