    Yes, you can drink it like milk but it doesn't taste very good on your cereal. It has a little tang, or tartness, to it.

    Furthermore, Buttermilk is lower in fat than regular milk, because the fat has been removed to make butter. It is also high in potassium, vitamin B12, calcium, and riboflavin as well as a good source of phosphorus.

    Those with digestive problems are often advised to drink buttermilk rather than milk, as it is more quickly digested. Buttermilk has more lactic acid than skim milk.

    One cup of buttermilk has 99 calories and 2.2 grams of fat, whereas whole milk has 157 calories and 8.9 grams of fat. Do check the labels as some brands of buttermilk are higher in fat than others.

    For those watching their caloric and/or fat intake, try putting a couple of tablespoons of buttermilk on your baked potato or in mashed potatoes as a substitution for sour cream or butter. You will get both the buttery flavor and the slight tang of sour cream with a fraction of the calories. You can also make mock sour cream using buttermilk powder.

    My husband drinks buttermilk. He is a country boy from Ky. Its milk that has been churned until it has a little butter in it. Its good to make biscuits and pancakes with.

    Its not butter with milk... its actually curds (yougurt) diluted with water and churned till butter starts gathering. It tastes really good. More so with a little salt and pepper in it :) We drink it at home. Its usually served right after a meal in India (where i am from)

    I don't drink it, but i hear all the time that milk is excellent for your whole body and i don't think you can go wrong drinking all that you want to drink.

    I love to crush saltine crackers in it and eat it with a spoon. It has a sour taste when you drink it like milk, but I sorta like it myself.

  • you can drink it like milk. The taste is slightly sour. Like any dairy product though, too much of it won't be pretty.

    You can drink it but I can't... Seriously, I just don't like the taste, but my dad drinks it all of the time. He puts pepper on it.
