Well, if it were up to me, I would keep skim milk in the fridge, and if it were up to my boyfriend, we'd keep 2% in the fridge, so we split the difference and buy 1%. Like many others, I rarely drink it by itself (although I will occasionally if I need a snack shortly before exercising), but I would say I probably consume 1-2 cups per day through adding it to tea, cereal, etc.

Although I don't keep it in the house, I love whole milk in coffee and it's usually my additive of choice at coffee shops if available. It softens the bitterness as much as half & half without the guilt factor.
