Country Cream is powdered NON-FAT real milk. Nido is powdered real WHOLE milk. Because I needed the calories, I mixed Nido with my oatmeal, dark chocolate, mac & cheese, pasta sides, etc. It dissolves very easily and I haven't had it spoil. The taste is great. If you don't want the extra calories of Nido, go with the non-fat milk. MendoRider
