  • annefood Hey @AhmedZ ! Great question. Skim milk does not have added sugar, so you're safe there! (Though there are definitely some skim milk "drinks" that do, so I'm thrilled to hear you're reading the...
  • Radwa Skim milk can act as a lighter alternative to milk when you want to use a lot of it.
