Description
It came in a large canister with the same tiger logo as the tiger milk bars. It was a protein drink mix that you could add orange juice or milk to. It tasted so good and I'm still trying to find a protein drink that tastes like that one. My mom would make it for us once in a while and I think she added a raw egg to it sometimes (gross).

I used to think I imagined I drank tigers milk powder. No one ever remembers it. My grandparents would give it to me all the time and my grandfather used to make me think it was real tigers milk!

We started taking tigers Milk powder about 1957. Then giving this to our son at the age of 3 in 1960.

I loved this stuff in the 1974-1976 range. Then it disappeared. The smell of it was nifty, actually - and I always get a little flashback whenever I see tiger's milk bars anywhere.

I also loved Tigers milk. Old Fashioned Foods in our city , made their own version, and it was called Pep up...They both had a wonderful vanilla taste. I have the recipe for a homemade Pepup that is used for energy. I can post it if anyone wants it. It isn't the original Tigers milk, but the next best thing.

I have the fantastic cookie recipe, but the company was sold in the 80's I seem to remember and the new owner changed the original powdered drink recipe. The cookies were never the same after that and I quit making them. The newer version of the drink just couldn't compare. Too bad! They were our family favorties going back 3 generations! If anyone finds out where we can puchase the OLD powdered drink, I'd love to know!

I too loved this stuff! I was not much of a good eater as a young teen and I loved supplementing my diet with this delicious powder. Weider makes a weight gaining formula referred to as TIGER'S MILK but I have no idea how it tastes or nutritionallly beneficial it is. I may give it a try.

I've been searching for Tigers Milk for years - I loved it and had it for lunch, mixed with a milkshake every day. I wonder if the Tigers Milk Bar is made by the same company?

Theresa, Could you post the cookie recipe even though the drink isn't made anymore? I've been on a search for a cookie that is no longer made called the "Guerrilla Cookie" that is said to have its origins from that Tigers Milk recipe. I'd like to see the original recipe. Thanks.

I can still taste it and smell it! The powder used to stick to our fingers when we scooped it to mix in the milk, and also it congealed a lot in cold milk when mixed by hand, so a lot of the memory for me is of the taste and texture of the powder or partly mixed powder. The closest I've found is bulk milk/egg/soy protein powder at the organic grocery store - but I get that in a plain bag, so I can't remember who makes it. Wish I could find some!

My fiance said he remembers his mom adding it to food for him and his dad when he was a teenager. His dad was sick and needed the extra protein. I've been looking for it for my very frail elderly mom, but can't find it anywhere. I was also beginning to thing my fiance was imagining it... good to know it really existed. Now.. to just fine it!

Tiger's milk you remember as a kid that your grandmother or grandfather made was made from orange juice and brewers yeast. Be sure to get the real brewers yeast (available at heath food store) not dry active yeast. Work up from about 1/2 teaspoon a day to a heaping Tablespoon aday. People with yeast sensitivites should be cautious

does anyone know what company the recipe was sold to? maybe a petition or something like that will be able to get the original recipe back!

My mom bought tigers milk powder to make her own tigers milk bars for my younger brother in the late 70s when my younger brother was diagnosed with Leukemia and had to eat a non-processed food diet when he was on treatment. These bars were really good and healthy. (My younger brother is now 33 with three kids of his own.) I wanted to make the tigers milk bars for my daughter as a healthy alternative to the over the counter chocolate bars that she enjoys from time to time.

I too drank Tiger's Milk in the mid seventies, but it was discontinued (for some unknown reason) I now drink a similar protein powder mix called Carb Fit, sold by Vitamin Shoppe...High in protein, no sugar and low in fat. Chocolate, Vanila and Strawberry flavors are available and can be purchased online. Google Vitamin Shoppe for web site. I also add a tspn of Twin Labs Super Brewers Yeast to the mix, very nutrional.

I'm sorry to hear that Tiger's Milk no longer available. Just loved it & it really made me feel better. Used to buy it at Brownie's Health Food Store on 14th St. in NYC.

Tiger's Milk powder by another name; check this out: http://www.amazon.com/Tigers-Milk-Weider-Advanced-Strawberry/dp/B001FBQ3WW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1241681623&sr=8-6

We use to buy Tiger Milk back in the 70s too. It was good stuff and my young son was raised on it. We have searched for it like of the rest of you and found what was suppose to be Tiger Milk in the 80s and it was terrible. The original made a yummy drink, the carob was my favorite. My husband use to make thick milkshakes just by mixing the Tiger Milk mix with milk. To bad the company was sold and the new company changed the recipe. Why change something that's good?

My mother used to give me tigers milk as a kid in the 1960's, I loved that stuff. wish they would bring it back. why is it all the things people love and are popular get disconntinued ? a company can obviously profit from the sales of such products that are in demand, I'm not sure why these companies disconntinue things they can make money from, sounds silly to me.

I drank Tiger's Milk as a milkshake with milk or with orange juice (like an Orange Julius) when I was pregnant with daughter in 1977, for the extra calcium & protien. It took away the leg cramps. I also gave my daughter the Tiger's Milk cookies. Now that I am older (with osteoporosis) I would dearly love to have the product available to me.

I was looking everywhere this morning for my Gayelord Hauser book, Live Younger, Live Longer. There is a wonderful recipe for tiger milk in it, but I couldn't find it. I have another recipe called fortified milk, from The Super-B Diet book by Gloria Heidi, that I like a lot: Blend until smooth: 3 C. skim milk, 1 C. fat-free yogurt, 1 large tablespoon each brewer's yeast, skim milk powder, and honey; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or olive), and a dash of vanilla extract. Drink a cup of this mixture each for morning, afternoon, and before-bed snack.

Just mix skim milk powder and soy flour and frozen O J and whatever else appeals to you in your blender. Be a do it person.
