I mentioned some of the differences in my post. The nutritional differences revolve around the presence of fat in 1% versus skim.

Guys, I like the taste of less fat milk.

I asked a question specifically about skim and 1% NOT if I should be drinking full fat milk.

I eat a lot of cheese thanks and get my dairy fat from that and butter.

I do not care for full fat milk.

Ok fine.


Try water. It tastes the same as skim.

From The difference between 1% and 2% milk - Business Insider

"1% milk exists because of consumer taste, not nutrition.

Skim and 2% were already on the market, but finicky and demanding consumers still wanted that rich, rich fatty milk mouthfeel, without the calories. There are absolutely no specific health benefits that happen at the sweet spot between skim and 2%. Milk companies complied. "

What does butter in your coffee taste like. I saw someone doing it on TV. Does it make coffee taste better?

Thank you both ABQConvict and newtovenice! Exactly what I was looking for.

I am a runner and chocolate milk made with skim organic is my go to recovery drink of choice. Someone said that you don't absorb any of the vitamins with zero fat as opposed to 1%. If the benefits are negligible, I'll stay with skim because I like the taste.

Actually, yes it does. It makes it taste much richer. My husband actually got me hooked on it.

You have to use grass fed butter and organic coffee to get the health benefits. We also use an immersion blender to mix it well.

Melt about half a tablespoon of butter in the microwave then add coffee and mix well with the immersion blender.

This is correct. Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble and need to be taken with some fat in order to be absorbed. In other words, vitamin-D-fortified skim milk on its own is absolutely useless.

As long as you are getting your vitamins and healthy fats at some other time of the day, you won't be malnourished. I do question the wisdom of a "recovery drink" which has lots of sugar but no fat to lower the glycemic index.

Facts about skim milk - in short:
skim milk is a highly processed, “altered” food,
it contains simple processed white sugar,
it’s basically like drinking sugar water,
skim milk is totally devoid of nutritional value,
industry often adds skim milk powder to skim milk,
lowfat does NOT mean healthier
5 Reasons to Skip the Skim Milk

You'll consume 14 more calories per cup if you choose 1 percent milk over skim milk,
The nutrient content of skim and 1 percent milk is almost identical,
All milk sold in the United States is fortified with vitamin D and often also with vitamin A,
Along with cereal, snacks such as crackers, cookies, pudding, milk, and juices are fortified with synthetic vitamins.
Isolated, synthetic vitamins can disrupt proper absorption of nutrients
Food producers often fortify foods with large amounts of vitamins and minerals to make their products appear more nutritious so they will sell better...

need more facts?

Thank you for that. This is exactly why I was thinking about switching to 1% instead of the skim.

Again, I am not asking anyone about the wisdom of drinking chocolate milk as my recovery drink. I don't need any input on that.

I've been a runner since 2000, I've run 23 marathons and hundreds of smaller races and it has always been my recovery drink of choice. I'm both an AFAA certified trainer and aerobics instructor as well as a STOTT Pilates instructor since the mid 1990s.

At 51 years old, 5'8 and 155 pounds, I'm doing something right.
