    I've done a google and it's not wasy to find. You'd have thought there'd be a market for it, though :confused:

    If you have room for 25kg - this is the best I could find. Can you share a bag with friends?

    Edit - just to check - this is for baking, not baby formula?

    Not sure whereabouts you are(?), but I saw a small box of organic dried milk in our local independent grocers. It's quite a bit more expensive than the ordinary dried milk, I think about £3, and it doesn't last that long once it's opened.

    Thank-you for finding that- i pulled up nada on the net- wow thats £:eek:

    It's for gifts-in-a-jar hot choc mixes and bath milk recipes and would just be really useful in the storecupboard.

    I'm a wanabee vegan and organic type so when it comes to meat and animal by-products, if its not vegan it has to be organic, and if it's neither I do without.

    I'm in Madeley village- slap between Crewe and Newcastle-under-Lyme- but thanks for letting me know I'll do a google for local independents and see if there's anywhere nearby

    Hi again

    I went into the shop today, and the milk powder I was thinking of is called EverNat Organic Milk Powder (sorry, couldn't remember what it was called before!) This is it:

    Hope this helps

    HI
    After reading this I had a scout around as I would find it useful to have some non-dairy powdered milk for when we go camping. Found this store which sells powdered almond milk and soya milk.HERE

    It's only a game

    Has anyone tried any of these?? I hate milk.. the smell makes me heave.. and the texture.. well I'd prefer not to go there.. I like the idea of the almond milk.. is it.. almondy???? in smell/flavour?? It is a bit of a hike to pay out just to discover it isn't nice. .. Shame they don't do 'samples' lol..
