Ultrafiltered nonfat milk
What is Ultrafiltered nonfat milk?
Ultrafiltered nonfat milk is milk that has been passed through a fine filter to remove some of the water and sugar content while retaining proteins and other nutrients. This process results in a milk product that is higher in protein and contains fewer carbohydrates compared to regular nonfat milk.
It is commonly used in products where a higher protein content or a reduced sugar profile is desired. While ultrafiltered milk retains most of the nutrients found in regular milk, it can sometimes have a slightly different taste and texture due to the ultrafiltration process.
When you see ultrafiltered nonfat milk on a label, it indicates a potential for higher protein content. It's a popular choice for those looking to increase their protein intake without additional calories from fat or sugar.
Commonly found in: protein shakes, meal replacement drinks, smoothies, yogurt, ice cream
