Horizon Organic Reduced Fat Milk, 8-Ounce Aseptic Cartons (Pack of 18)

I buy Horizon milk all the time, so I know what the non-aseptic stuff is like. I typically buy low- or non-fat milk from this same company to use for cereal and coffee. I love the idea of this product, love how you can just carry one of the cute little cartons with you, and I've thus far been using it to lighten my coffee at work, which it does remarkably well. Also, I have one of those little frothers to make my coffee drinks look all Starbucks-y, and this milk froths up nicely whether it's cold or room temp.

My only real complaint (above the fact that it's a wee bit pricey) is that the taste is not the same as the typical refrigerated Horizon milk. This one tastes a little bit like evaporated milk. I don't really mind that overmuch; I grew up using evap milk in my coffee. But it's not what I expected.

This product is a lifesaver when our family is on the go. Having a shelf-stable, nutritional drink for our kids makes it easy to take long road trips and not have to stop in order to get the kids some milk. It also comes in handy when we visit some amusement parks, the zoo, and other attractions where they do not always have milk available. The price is very reasonable considering the shelf life and portability. We highly recommend it.

This item is pricey, but paying more for the convenience is definitely worth it. It does not need to be refrigerated, so it is great for traveling - when cooler space is at a premium. You can just put in a carton or two at a time and replace it as you use it. The flavor is slightly different than regular milk, but not unpleasant. It comes with its own attached straw for drinking out of the carton, or it can be poured out into a glass or cup. It is a great product.

This product does not require refrigeration, so it is easy to store and to take on travels this summer - just pop it in the cooler a little before you need it - chills down quickly enough. The individual serving is also great for me as a diabetic (or anyone requiring strict dietary awareness) for carb counting/etc.

If you are looking for small portions, then I suppose this is the convenient way to go. However, it doesn't make much sense financially. A gallon of milk is 128 ounces, and costs between $4-$8 depending on brand and location. With these, you get a whopping total of 144 ounces of milk, and pay $22 for it? Save yourself the expense, and use a thermos.
