    A note about the bouillon containing no meat…. So chicken and beef bouillon from the store are often artificially flavored. No real meat in them anyway. If you see beef or chicken ā€œnatural flavorā€ let’s just say it’s in no way natural šŸ˜…. The few that do have real meat flavoring either use powdered broth or powdered meat. (Freezedried) Both are very expensive and powdered meat is very hard to come by. (Unless you have a freeze dryer) Nutritional yeast tastes very similar to chicken as does umami to beef. The flavor is there and these are still packed full of nutrients. When I use bouillon it’s to enhance my recipes flavor, not to add meat to it. I add actual meat to all my recipes I make. I wouldn’t personally sip on bouillon ā€œbrothā€ whether that be store bought or homemade, not that’s its bad for you but Thats what actually homemade broth is for. Bouillon is an enhancer and short cut in my opinion. Hope that helps! ā¤ļøā˜ŗļø

    Why r u using milk to make up the mixes with dry milk in them?
    IE Pudding mix in store has no dry milk in it.
    Wouldn’t just water combine w/the dry milk to make ur milk needed?

    Do you ever make the chocolate and strawberry flavor for milk?

    What would you suggest to replace mushroom powder due to an allergy?
