One eight-ounce glass: my midmorning snack.
I drank a lot of milk as a kid and young adult, mostly gulping it down with meals. It wasn't a pleasure in and of itself, except maybe with certain things: chocolate brownies, peanut butter sandwiches, lasagna, all things I love to wash down with milk.
I cut seriously back in the last few years when I went low-carb. Only in the last few months has it returned to my diet, and now it's really good, whole raw milk from grass-fed cows. Now, it's too good to wash down dinner with. Now it stands alone, about ten-thirty in the morning. All by itself, and sipped with some attention to the sensation, it is astonishingly creamy and even a little sweet. It reminds me (just a bit) of good vanilla ice cream. There's no vanilla, of course, and only lactose for sweetness, but that richness and some of the body is there.
It's surprisingly filling, too. I won't have any trouble waiting till noon.
