This blog will outline what ultra-filtered milk is, the benefits and differences compared to other milk and different brands of ultra-filtered milk, and how to prepare it with Simply Delish Instant Puddings.
What is ultra-filtered milk?
To simply put it, ultra-filtered milk also known as diafiltered milk, is natural milk that has not gone through any forms of filtrations that typically remove fats and solids. But let’s get into a deeper understanding of what exactly ultra-filtered milk and how it differs from typical milk. Compared to regular milk, ultra-filtered milk is higher in protein and lower in sugar. So how does ultra-filtered milk come to? Special ultra-filtered cows that have no filter when they “MOOO” at each other? Funny, but no.
What is the process of ultra-filtered milk?
The process of creating ultra-filtered milk goes beyond just not filtering regular dairy milk. Think of this, your typical milk is made up of sugar or lactose and water. That milk is pressed through a thin membrane which filters water and sugar and other ingredients that makeup milk. Once the natural water is removed along with the sugar, you’re left with ultra-filtered milk that is lower in sugar, higher in protein, and ultimately is lactose-free. When compared to regular milk, consumers of ultra-filtered milk say that the taste is rich and creamy, even compared to milk alternatives!
Benefits of ultra-filtered milk
Now that you have some insight on ultra-filtered milk, you’re probably wondering who can benefit from ultra-filtered milk.

First, ultra-filtered milk is great for families who are trying to lower their sugar intake. Second, ultra-filtered milk is perfect for those with diabetes and trying to monitor the daily amount of carbohydrates. Third, if you’re trying to avoid dairy at all costs, ultra-filtered milk is great because it carries the taste and consistency of regular milk, but without the high amounts of lactose. Finally, if you’re trying to increase your overall protein intake, this form of milk is great for athletes and bodybuilders. But, at the end of the day, anyone can enjoy this low-sugar milk!
