I found powdered milk on Coupang and ordered some to go along with my SlimFast. I tried a spoonful of the powder as it was—just dry—to see how it tasted and behaved in the mouth. It tasted better than regular milk powder, but along with the slight sweetness (lactose, a sugar, and probably some added sugar) was a not-quite-as-slight saltiness, which I found curious. The dry powder also started clumping in my mouth as I chewed it, reminding me a bit of the inulin I'd tried. I made a cup of chocolate milk with SlimFast and cold, filtered water; a lot of unabsorbed powder (chocolate and milk) floated to the top in the form of bubbles that refused to mix. I tried a second cup, but this time with boiling-hot water, and the absorption was a lot better. So: hot chocolate from now on until the two powders run out. Yay.
The reason for this is to save money during the week: eat keto or keto-ish on weekends; drink SlimFast hot chocolate (as a substitute for my morning smoothie) on weekday mornings using only water—i.e., no more need to buy expensive cartons of low-fat, whole, or almond milk. Not a very exciting solution, but a way to cut down on spending. The powdered milk cost me less than W6,000 for a kilo, so it's definitely cheaper than regular milk here. I pay around half that much for a mere liter of regular milk.
