To use formula in my coffee

Ran out of milk, baby teething, toddler being a toddler. Need caffeine but hate black coffee. WIBU to use a scoop of kendamil in a coffee to get that sweet caffeine boost before I go to the shop?

Not unreasonable but tastes revolting 😂

Coconut cream tastes good in coffee if you’ve got that. So does evaporates milk, long life cream, milk powder.
Next time you’re at the shop, get a little UHT milk to stick in the cupboard for coffee emergencies :)
I don’t think trying a spoon of formula is unreasonable btw I just suspect it will taste weird. Formula is just powdered milk + extras like vegetable or fish oil and extra vitamins and minerals.

eeew no I didn’t, I don’t know why but I find that yuk !
Reminds me of the time someone at work stored their expressed milk in the fridge and someone else took some for their coffee! That’ll teach the milk stealers 😂 never did work out who .

We usually do have some spare but I used it when we were poorly last and forgot to replace it! That'll teach me!

I did this a few weeks ago unsettled baby unable to get to the shop it was disgusting! I now have back up sachets of latte/cappuccinos. Could you order a few groceries through Uber ? Or breakfast with coffee ? Coffee is so important to me haha

Omg I don't blame you.

We'd just come back from a week long trip yesterday and had no milk.

Was craving a cuppa, but I couldn't bring myself to use formula. I thought about squeezing my boob into the mug to get some breast milk out but it wouldn't have been enough and also I have never tried my own milk.

I just waited for our Tesco delivery for actual milk.

Also download the getir app.

They have loads of promos and perfect for times like this.

Do you have any ice cream in the freezer? Make yourself an affogato!

Deezeboob · 06/03/2023 11:11

I'm glad you've asked this becasue I've contemplated it a few times 😅

Redstopgreengo · 06/03/2023 11:22

No uber or ice cream (although that is an amazing idea!). I risked it. Didn't start out overly promising but tasted better than expected. I've definitely had worse coffees. So any one who may need this is in future kendamil is the formula to use Grin just don't look at it before you drink it Envy

This. Been there done that - yuk!

I mean, Kendamil is the creamiest of the formulas and is made entirely out of cows milk and algae I believe. It smells 100x better than the other milks so if I were to put formula in my coffee it would definitely be Kendamil 😂😂😂
