About Skim milk

Skim milk, often referred to as nonfat milk, is a dairy product made by removing nearly all the fat from whole milk. Originating from traditional dairy practices, it is a staple in many cuisines around the world and widely used in beverages, cooking, and baking. Skim milk retains essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamins D and B12, making it a nutritious option for supporting bone health and muscle function. With significantly fewer calories and fat than whole milk, it’s a popular choice for those seeking a lighter alternative while maintaining a source of dairy in their diet. However, the fat removal process slightly reduces the creaminess and may also lower the intake of fat-soluble vitamins that are found in whole milk. Skim milk is versatile, pairing well with cereals, smoothies, and coffee, and is often recommended for calorie-conscious individuals seeking high-quality nutrition.
