I just didn’t feel the sacrifice in flavor/viscosity was worth it considering the similarity in calories/macros. I put 60ml in my coffee every morning and it went from 38 to 30 cals. Just my opinion!

I can’t live without fairlife fat free, per 240ml only 80cals, and I can’t taste the difference to be honest. Holy grail for me
Fairlife is also lactose-free (and the version you chose is 2%/~~skim~~), which probably accounts for the flavour and viscosity issues you found. Pretty sure horizon also makes 2% and fat-free, if you want to lower your cals without switching to Fairlife.
edit: 2% ≠ skim
Fairlife 2% choccy milk is lower cal than some 2% regular milks lol, I live on that stuff. Much more protein than regular milk as well. I personally think it’s one of the best tasting and textured milks on the market
I mean if it is just for putting like 2 oz in your morning coffee then yeah it’s not gonna matter
Well, that’s because you are comparing it to whole milk, so of course you’re going to think it’s meh 😭
Also fair life doesn’t taste better than the exact same milk, but it has 50% less sugar, and 50% more protein for the exact same serving. That is the benefit.
Compare Whole Fairlife to Whole other Milks not 2% – whole fairlife is delicious but the real bonus is the protein, not the calorie savings!! Since it’s hard to get enough protein on 1200 cals, swapping your food choices to naturally higher protein ones is the key (so if you ALWAYS drink whole milk, swapping to fairlife IS beneficial as you will get more protein!! This is why people swap full fat for nonfat Greek yogurt, you get more protein in nonfat for the same weight of whole fat)
I just like that it can sit in my fridge for 2 weeks without going sour
yeah i know for some people full fat milk makes a huge difference. Thankfully not the case for me. I use fat free milk frequently with cereal, or coffee.
Fairlife is only good if you’re there for the extra proteins. I’m pretty sure you can get full fat fairlife.
Never tried it but I always imaged it’d taste like purified water in a weird way
