   What about the expiration date ? How long can you freeze it for ?

   You have to be sure that you freeze milk before the expiration date runs out. Then, it can stay frozen for 2-3 months. Once you thaw it, it’s best to use it within two or three days. Hope this helps!

     I too never empty any of the milk out, the only problem is the container may have a problem standing when I go to thaw it out, I just set it in a bowl. I have kept it frozen for up to 6 months, it then must be used up within 4 days.
     I have been freezing milk for years 1% and 2% 1/2 half containers

   What about almond or soy milk?

     Laura, I’ve never tried freezing almond or soy milk, but from what I can gather from online sources, it won’t hurt to freeze it. However, the manufacturers of almond and soy milks don’t recommend it because freezing and then thawing will affect the taste and appearance. Lots of people freeze it for use in cooking and baking, rather than drinking. Be sure to freeze it in an airtight container, as it will absorb odors and flavors from other foods. Hope this helps!

   What about heavy whipping cream? I seem to only use enough that my recipe calls for. Then the rest usually ends up going to waste. Thanks!
