About Frothed skim milk

Frothed skim milk is a light, airy milk preparation commonly paired with coffee and tea beverages in global cuisines, especially in Italian coffee culture. Created by steaming or whipping non-fat milk, this frothy topping adds texture and visual appeal without significant calorie impact. Skim milk is derived from whole milk with the fat removed, making it lower in calories and saturated fat compared to its whole counterpart, while retaining essential nutrients like protein, calcium, and vitamin D. Its high calcium content supports bone health, and the absence of fat caters to low-fat dietary preferences. However, it contains natural sugars (lactose) and lacks the creaminess and certain fat-soluble vitamins found in full-fat milk. Despite this, frothed skim milk remains a popular choice for those seeking a guilt-free addition to beverages or recipes without compromising on taste and visual indulgence.
