Storage Conditions
Temperature: Storing THRIVE at a high temperature can significantly increase the speed that calories and vitamins will degrade over time. In the correct storage container, low-moisture foods such as THRIVE can be stored at room temperature or cooler (75 degrees Fahrenheit or lower) and remain nutritious and edible for years. Our stated shelf life assumes that the product will be stored in optimal conditions.
Humidity: The affects of humidity on a closed can are caused by heat and very similar to the affects of high temperature (see above). High humidity can corrode the cans and in some cases even cause the cans to leak. Areas with high humidity can reduce the opened shelf life of the product. As humidity varies with location please use your own discretion to prevent possible sickness from eating spoiled food.
Damaged Container: Minor dents in the center of the can are usually just a cosmetic issue. However, a can that has been dented near or on a seam can have a compromised air-tight seal and allow oxygen to enter the can. If this is the case we recommend using the dented can within the specified opened shelf life, rather than closed.
The best way to maintain the highest quality of your THRIVE products is to take care of them. If you intend on storing your food for the sealed shelf life, store the cans in a place that is not open to elements such as water, light, and air. Take care of it. Don't expose it unnecessarily to the elements. Also, be sure to keep the temperature and humidity low and even. Under these proper storing situations your THRIVE will maintain its delicious taste, natural coloring, and proper nutrients.

DELICIOUS!!!
I just received my first Shelf Reliance order and decided to start with the Instant Milk since we live so far away from the grocery and it seems I am always out:) I mixed up a quart using 2/3 of a cup of milk powder and 4 cups of water. I could not believe how good it tasted and it was not even cold! I am really funny about my milk so I was very excited that I not only have this to serve my family but also have put some back for emergencies. The nice thing is I will only mix up what I need so it won't be wasted. Great product and will be ordering for my stock pile:) How long will it last in the refrigerator once mixed up??? Taste like it came from the store and is fat free!!!

picky husband
I must have the pickiest husband in the world because he noticed this milk (in the just-emptied milk gallon jug) right away and refused to drink any more.
Drat. I wish my review were as awesome as the rest of yours!
That being said, it is still better than regular powdered milk.Quality Karin 12/19/11

Two words. TRY IT.
I have tried many powdered milks/instant milks and I have never liked them! I was honestly SHOCKED when I tried this one. It simply doesn't taste like powdered milk. It tastes (get ready for this), like MILK. My picky son didn't even bat an eyelash. Truly a staple in your pantry.

Best Instant milk sold anywhere!
Hands down this is the best instant milk I have ever tasted. As a consultant for Shelf Reliance I take a quart to each presentation I do and it gets rave reviews every time. It sells itself; all I do is smile and give them the order number! :o)

VERY picky milk drinkers REALLY like the THRIVE Instant milk!
Our normally very picky milk drinkers had no problems adjusting to the instant milk. It was so super easy to make (I found that 4 cups cold water + 1 Cup Instant milk made it just about similar to 1% consistency).
I used a whisk to help dissolve any leftover clumps.
Slowly weaned our family off of the store bought milk by adding 1/2 gallon of instant milk (mixed) into the remaining 1/2 gallon in our store bought gallon of milk.
NO MORE "we're out of milk??!" moments! Especially perfect for those Sunday mornings when the kiddos want cereal and you're all out of milk! :)Quality ADA 8/6/11

Economical for a Family of Milk Drinkers
During the Summer, when the kids are all home, we go through 3 - 5 gallons of milk a week! That's a lot of milk & money! When I calculated the price of the Instant Milk compared to buying the equivalent gallons of milk, it was a money saver hands down. I was iffy on how it would taste so I got to try some at a home party. I tasted like 2% milk from the store!
We have all been drinking it & it saves the trouble of running to the store every time we need milk...I just make some! The kids love it & don't realize they are drinking fat free milk & I think it has more "body" than regular fat free milk.Quality Gina Marie 6/20/11

Won the "Hubby taste test!"
My husband grew up on powdered milk as a child, and hated it! I wasn't crazy about drinking it either, but I did when I had to. Anyway, when I received this with my very first order, I was totally and pleasantly surprised. This milk is very easy to mix up and chill. The taste is really good, just like real milk. I added a touch of real vanilla extract to a half-gallon and it makes this milk delicious. My husband actually enjoys it and uses it on a semi-regular basis.

My new favorite product.
This is my new favorite product. My husband and son liked the taste. I used it to make pudding pie and bread. I may never buy milk again.

Mom of 3 boys saves tons!
I use this milk on a monthly basis! If I run out of milk I simply make some THRIVE milk and it holds us over...NO MORE RUNNING to the store for milk! It has saved our family at least $200 a month...not in milk but in random things we buy when we run in for milk...

LOVED THIS!
I absolutely loved it! We drink skim milk in our home and I received our first can today and mixed me up one cup of milk and it was DELICIOUS!!! I couldn't tell the difference and will buy this from now on!

Use in puddings?
Can you use this milk in instant puddings and will it thicken ?

I am so so pleased with this product....
I usually only buy milk food storage stuff for baking. I hate the taste. I hate the powderiness. But it's useful for baking because you never taste it when it's baked in. So that's why I bought this product.
However, when I tried this product, I was shocked to find that it actually tasted like milk!!!! I know I'm just repeating what everyone said, but you literally cannot taste the difference.
This is a great investment. I don't believe I will ever buy store bought milk again unless I run out of this wonderful stuff.
Try it! I'm a skeptic. And I don't usually endorse a product, even when it's a good product. But I am so pleased, I want others to have this too.Quality Mandy 4/21/11

Excellent
I have never been able to stomach powdered milk. I bought 2 pouches of this instant milk and thought I would give it a try. I put it in a clean 1/2 gallon milk jug and refridgerated over night and none of my family could tell the difference from the 2% we usually drink. You made me a real believer in this milk. I will be buying more!

Won the Taste Taste
I held a powdered milk class for a group of people and had them try 5 different types of unlabeled powdered/instant milk. The THRIVE Instant Milk won hands down. It's taste and quality are superior to any out on the market. It is awesome for 72 hour kits because of its flexibility in being mixed into cold water, but as others have said, its great for EVERYDAY use!

I would have never dreamed!!
I bought the instant milk powder thinking it'd be good to have in an emergency, but not for everyday use. Over the Christmas break the kids were using milk like crazy and I decided to secretly test it out on them to see if they would notice the difference. NO ONE noticed out of all five kids!!! I did use more powder than is suggested so that it is richer, which to me makes it even better. I also use filtered water instead of tap water because our town doesn't have good tasting water. This is definitely a product that is well worth it's price! We have totally made the switch to using only this now.

The winner
I ordered cans of instant milk from 3 different companies. and had our extended family, both grownups and children, do a taste test. Thrive was definitely a winner. It mixed up easily and practically no "powdered milk" taste. I later added a little extra powder and really couldn't tell the difference at all from the %1 milk we normally use. I am getting this for my storage.

Unbelievably like the real deal!!!
Trick - Every time I introduce a new storage item to my family - I do not tell them it is from the storage supply - and I usually mix it with store bought the first time I make it!
We were down to our last 1/3 gallon of milk and could not get to the store. I had ordered a can of the instant milk a few months ago, and thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to give it a try... I mixed half a gallon of instant milk with the remainder of the store bought milk - and NOBODY knew any differently. When this had been emptied (the next day), I rinsed out the old "store bought" gallon jug and filled the whole gallon with instant milk and stuck it in the fridge...again, no one mentioned any difference....(very sneeky)!! Our family has teens who usually drink almost a gallon of milk a day - so I was expecting SOMEBODY to question it...
I added 6 cans to my Q plan so I always have some in stock!

Great
We live in the Congo and only used instant milk to drink, for cereal, for Ice cream, and to make yogurt at home. We have tried numerous brands looking for something that is closest to the store-bought milk from the states, and this is the closest we can find. With Thrive, we can actually drink the milk straight (something nearly impossible for us with long-life milk or the other powdered milk). Anyway, this stuff is simply great....I just wish they sold it on amazon so I could get free shipping too!!!

This Is The Best!
I love milk, and I consider myself to be very picky when it comes to milk and the brand I choose. There is just no comparison of this instant milk to the other milks out there on the shelves! It is far, far superior, and I can drink it any time, any day! It mixes up beautifully with cold water - instantly - and no lumps!

Terrific Product
I made an individual, 8 oz. glass of this product last night and it tasted terrific. I could tell the difference between this and the skim milk I normally buy, but the convenience of making a glass at a time rather than wasting expired milk in the jug well offsets the taste difference. This will definitely replace buying pasteurized milk from the grocery store every week for me.

Not bad
I am pretty sensitive to "food storage" foods and the difference in taste between fresh and the canned. I was very weary to try it, but when we made this instant milk I found that it wasn't that bad. I mixed it and let it refrigerate overnight before I tried it. I could definitely tell the difference, but it would be bearable in an emergency situation. I wouldn't just drink it in an everyday situation, but would use it for cooking so that I can rotate.

best instant milk
This is the best instant milk on the market. Blows traditional powdered milk out of the water. My family can't tell a difference between this and store bought "fresh" milk. A must have for LTS [Long Term Storage].
