<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Soy milk powder has been a boon to my life as there are a number of things that are not quite the same with water i.e. twice baked potatoes or mashed potatoes. I took it to my local coffee shop along with a shaker, and left them there, so every time I want to order a "Gregorian" [espresso with caramel and steamed "milk"] they can fix one for me. Though it's not as foamy, it's absolutely delicious! I think this will help so many of us cd's who are lactose intolerant as well. Have fun! Pam Auburn, NY
