Diluting down milk

[rubberduck]

Hi

Will diluting down standard supermarket whole milk with tap water make it go off faster? Lets assume a 1:1 volumetric ratio. If so, would deionised water improve matters?

Thanks

Why would you dilute milk in the first place?

Does this serve a purpose?

I have decided to to reduce my calorific intake via substituting the milk which I use to blend with my meal replacement and protein shakes with a milk/water blend. I tried just using water with no milk but found the trade-off in terms of taste unacceptable. A 50:50 mix of water to milk seems to give a good compromise between calories and taste and to make life easier I was thinking of 'batch' diluting down 2 litres of milk at a time. I wanted to make sure this process would not make the milk go bad faster however thus my original post. How on earth there can be so many deleted post in this thread is boggling!

Do you not have access to a tap which provides clean drinking water?

Surely you take the meal replacement, put into your chosen receptacle for mixing, go to fridge, add milk, walk to tap, add water?

It did cross my mind but I really like the idea of batch processing and having the milk pre-diluted in to the correct ratio and ready to go after returning from an intense curl session at the gym.

I don't want to switch away from whole milk as fat in diet doesn't make you fat, quite the opposite actually. I read some websites on it and also whole milk lets me hit my macronutrient goals better.

Had a think about it and have decided to just dilute it down on an ad-hoc basis at the point of consumption. 3 out of 4 of my protein shakers have a volumetric scale on them so a simple 50:50 ratio should be quite easy to nail even if dispensing direct from milk container and tap.

Thanks to all those who contributed in a positive way.
