Review: Essential for folks who like milk or not - This milk is perfect for those of us who don't drink much milk but need to keep it on hand for the occasional bowl of cereal or for certain recipes. It is IDEAL for bad weather when power outages are likely. It is shelf stable and has a few months storage life. It is real milk, so it tastes like real milk and has the texture of real milk. It IS real milk. I've used it for years and used to get it at the grocery store. They no longer carry it, so thank goodness for desertcart! It is always in my fridge (although it could be in my cabinet instead). It is a bit more expensive than bottled milk, but if you normally use just a bit of the bottle and throw away the rest, this boxed milk will save you money in the long run.
Review: Got Milk ? …🥛🍪 - I found Horizon Organic Shelf Stable Whole Milk Boxes to be tasty and convenient to have on hand for children also a great buy for seniors who find they might not use or need a full carton of Milk. Compact size makes it easy to store and put in lunch boxes and grab on the go snack bags and just as convenient for hiking /camping/baking. They are slim in size with an attached extending * straw which is a phenomenal idea . Horizon organic Milk shelf-stable milk boxes very well could last up to 75 days to 4 months depending on packaging Unopened at room temperature, while store bought refrigerated cartons typically last for several weeks until the best-by date. Once opened, this product must be refrigerated * and recommended use within at least 7 days. Personal description about taste : is more like evaporated milk which for me is a guilty pleasure in my coffee. Each 8 oz. Container contains 12g of total sugar (0g added sugar) and 130mg of sodium (6% DV) per serving. I absolutely love it ! Recommendation: store in a dark cool place if storing on shelf for long periods.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes gives this milk the abiliity to sit on the shelf without being in cold refrigerator??  Why does't it get sour like other milk?**
A: Does Horizon organic single serve milk need refrigeration? Single serve milk is packaged in individual aseptic containers and will keep at room temperature, unopened, until the date code. This extended shelf life is possible due to ultra-high temperature (UHT) pasteurization.

**Q: How does the vanilla flavored milk taste compared to the cold fresh milk at the supermarket?**
A: The vanilla milk is sweet, think chocolate milk only with vanilla. They also have a regular milk, no flavoring, that when chilled tastes the same as when bought from the store. We buy Horizon Organic at the store and order the individuals for traveling or lunches. Regardless which we are drinking, we always do so chilled. (Unless we’ve made it into hot cocoa, then we drink it hot of course). If you buy Horizon at the store you won’t be disappointed in this.

**Q: Can these be frozen? They'd keep lunch food cold and be thawed and ready to drink at lunchtime. Has anyone had success with this?**
A: I have never frozen it but I would guess it is like freezing regular milk. Sometimes it takes some of the flavor away. Also it is in a container so it may puncture if it expands.

**Q: Lactose free?**
A: No, it is not lactose free.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kids love these
*by S***A on November 4, 2025*

I really like the Horizon Organic Shelf Stable Whole Milk Boxes! They are perfect for my family — easy to take on the go, great for lunch boxes, or travel. The milk tastes fresh and creamy, even though it doesn’t need to be kept in the fridge until opened. Each box has 8g of protein and comes from organic, pasture-raised cows, which makes me feel good about what I’m giving my kids. The 8oz size is just right — no waste, and super convenient. I love that it’s USDA Organic and doesn’t have any added hormones or antibiotics. Overall, this is a high-quality and very convenient milk option. I will definitely keep buying it!
