I get Nido, which is the full milk version, and find it works well in all mentioned applications. Making my own powdered drink mixes or using a couple tablespoons in granola and hot water to make hot cereal are my fave applications. Also add some to pasta mixes that require milke and butter - butter powder can be either the real thing from packit gourmet's grocery section, or that butter buds stuff you find at the grocery store.
