what if i don't like the taste of whole or 2 % or fat free or skim milk??

Question

I am a very picky eater. But that's not my point right now. I don't like the taste of milk. Let me take that back....I like the taste of chocolate milk but can't stand the taste of white milk. Is there any thing I can do about the taste of milk with out adding chocolate to it??

when i eat cereal i do not add milk.

Answer 1

have it in a healthy smoothie.

you can even buy some chocolate flavored whey protien powder and mix that with skim milk.

EDIT: milk is also not a necessary part of your diet once you hit adulthood.

Because this is the diet and fitness section I'm presuming that you are drinking skim and 2% milk for the weight loss benefits recent studies show.

If it is "calcium" you want, spinach also contains calcium, but the body is not as efficient at absorbing calcium from it as it is from milk. This might sound generic and old fashioned, but eat your spinach- eat more of it.

How about trying soy milk, rice dream, or some other alternative milk product?

Having grown up on gallons of cow's milk, I grew so accustomed to the flavor that when I experimented with a vegan diet--i.e. a diet free of animal products--it took me a long time to get used to the flavor of soy milk.

Twenty years down the road in my late 40's now, I positively loathe the taste of cow's milk and can only stand it when it's mixed with something. My favorite tasting alternative milk product is Silk, supplemented more often than not by Edensoy Original.

Here's a link to one taste testing review of soy milks:

I'm sure you can find many others if you scour the web.

One thing I'll leave you with is a hard question: Is cow's milk really as healthy--and necessary to the diet--as a lot of nutritionists claim?

Here's a final link to an interesting article that calls into question cow's milks safety and nutritional value. Read it at your own risk:

Assuming you want to drink milk in the first place, instead of
not adding chocolate to the milk at all, try just adding a small amount of chocolate powder or syrup to it Just enough to mask the "milk" taste. I've done this for years, and I almost like milk to this day.

If you feel you need to drink milk to get calcium, vitamin D, etc.. you might try soy beverages, which come in a variety of flavours (e.g. chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla) and with varying degrees of sweetness.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

You don't need to drink milk. Take a food bound multi vitamin and calcium supplement. The milk you buy in stores has so much other crap in it its scary. Check out the article below for some surprising info about milk.

Answer 5

You have to get used to it - this coming from someone that took 21 years getting used to it. My mom forced me to have milk - white milk, every night for supper, not to mention lunch on the weekends. Milk was a must in my house growing up - but I never liked it. When I moved away to college, I knew I needed milk, but always had chocolate because I hated white. I moved off campus this past fall, and once it got cold, I wanted to bring hot chocolate in the morning (not a coffee person) - since I make my hot chocolate with milk - I had to start buying white milk (which was easier than buying two different kinds). After a winter of eating it - I am starting to get used to it and I dont have to have chocolate in order to drink it. Not that I really like it though, but its tolerable.

Sometimes, you just have to suck it up and eat/drink it. Unless it makes you gag, just get used to it. A little trick I use - take a sip right before or while food is in your mouth - that way you can just focus on the taste of the food instead of the milk.

Answer 6

You don't need to drink milk to get calcium, these days most of it is loaded with hormones and not good for you anyway (except for organic stuff) - try the soy milk instead.

Answer 7

Do you like it better on your cereal? Add it to recipes. Or to get adequate levels of calcium, eat yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, spinach, etc.
My children usually have chocolate in their milk, even in their teens and twenties. I decided when they were young that it was worth the chocolate to get them to drink the milk.
Chocolate is good for you, too.

Answer 8

Answer 9
