questioon about goat products

[footballguy]

since I had some dairy allergies I can no longer take whey so I would be ok to drink goat whey and milk?

when my son was on no dairy elimination diet we were told it was fine to use goat products.

 

we used the cheese and the milk. Wholefoods Market stocks goatsmilk products

We use goat products all the time in lieu of bovine. If you are used to cow milk you may find the taste and odor of goat products a bit strong. Many of my adult friends have curiously tried it and their reactions are almost always the same....

They want to spit it out!

LOL.

My kids don't notice because that is all they get.

We have used feta cheese made from sheep milk and it is much milder than goat feta. We do buy the Goat Kefir from Whole foods and it is very good, even by my standards (I cannot stand goat milk). I will drink goat milk in my tea (Husband is Irish and milk in tea is the norm).

Goat milk in baking is great and you don't notice it. We have used it to make rice milk, but I prefer using coconut milk instead as it tastes better.

I am not familiar with goat milk whey powder in particular but Meyenberg makes a powdered milk in a can that you can find at Whole foods. This might be a good option for you. Mixed with water it tastes the same as the fresh stuff (which I don't like).

You can also add flavors to the milk to make it more palatable. We use it in breakfast smoothies (the Kefir) and I have added sweeteners to it like honey or maple syrup. Not the healthiest idea, but sometimes the kids won't drink it if I don't and it is expensive (3.50 a quart is the cheapest I've found) and healthy for them.

Trader Joes sells it at a good price. Our local grocers also carry it but at 1.00 more per quart.

You may find it cheaper at a co-op if you look into it. I found a Wisconsin farm that delivers to area stores and sells for $5.99 a half-gallon. My kids drink a lot of it so I bargain shop.

They sell low fat and regular. You can also get goat milk yogurt for $2 a container. Tasty but really sweet and expensive. I make my own yogurt out of the quart container and add my own fruit to it for a fraction of the price.
